Ben Carson asserts Biden would likely fail basic cognitive test
Is President Biden Avoiding a Mental Evaluation?
Dr. Ben Carson, former head of the Department of Housing and Urban Development under former President Trump and a respected neurosurgeon, suggests that President Joe Biden has sidestepped a basic mental assessment. Carson hints that the White House might be evading exposing the extent of the president’s cognitive decline.
Carson’s Concerns
Carson raises alarming points about Biden’s mental acuity, claiming there has been a noticeable decline over the years. In a recent interview with The Daily Wire, Carson highlighted the stark difference in Biden’s speech patterns from previous years, indicating a significant deterioration that raises concerns.
- Short-Term Memory Evaluation:
- Despite the simplicity of the test, Carson reveals that the White House refuses to subject Biden to an evaluation, citing a potential high chance of failure due to memory issues.
“They’ll ask questions like, count down from 100 by 7s. They’ll ask you to name three objects, you can pick any three objects you want and tell them what they are, then they’ll ask you a whole bunch of other questions, and then they’ll say, ‘what were those three objects?’ just to test your short term memory.”
Carson asserts that Biden’s performance in such a test would likely reveal concerning gaps in his cognitive abilities.
Public Perception
Recent polls reflect public apprehension regarding Biden’s mental fitness for the presidency. Reports from various surveys highlight growing concerns about Biden’s capacity to fulfill his duties:
- Deseret News/HarrisX Poll: 63% of voters doubt Biden’s mental readiness.
- Quinnipiac University Poll: 64% question Biden’s ability to serve a second term.
