Joe Biden pledged transparency when he came in; he’s provided anything but.
Biden came down on Thursday with COVID. The White House provided some detail. The White House tried to stifle any questions about where Biden might have gotten the virus from, claiming that wasn’t important, even though one has to consider it for things like contact tracing and who he might have been in contact with. On top of that, what was very abnormal was that we weren’t hearing from Joe Biden’s doctor, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the person who is treating him.
Instead they dragged out Karine Jean-Pierre, White House Press Secretary, and Ashish Jha (White House coronavirus coordinator), who neither are treating Joe Biden. Even the perpetually incurious, liberal White House media found this odd and asked why they were having to play “telephone” to get any information that was being fed through the White House. Why wasn’t the doctor speaking about Biden’s condition?
We were informed that Biden would stop Eliquis his blood thinner, and that it would take effect for five more days. He was also being administered Paxlovid. Stopping a blood thinner outright is a concerning move–and it could potentially cause problems–which is why it would be good to hear why O’Connor was recommending that, according to Jha.
On Friday, they continued to play the lack of transparency card. We already mentioned that they had to do some cleanup after Kamala Harris’s mask-theater.
Jean-Pierre said they felt that putting out a written statement was enough, rather than making Biden’s doctor available.

But, what a written statement doesn’t allow you to do is ask questions of the doctor. That’s likely what they’re trying to avoid here. If the doctor is there, you know that someone is going to start asking things about Biden’s competency or plumbing the real issues of his health. They can’t have that.
Instead, we received pap from Jean-Pierre and Jha’s comedy team.
Jha told us Biden consumed all his dinner.

If he’s a good boy, did they pat his head and tell him he could get his ice cream, too? Seriously? He’s showing them a clean plate? This man is supposed to lead the world free from all oppression. Think about what Russia would think of an announcement such as that.
They tried to convince us that Biden worked hard.
Jean-Pierre also shared the statement of Biden that he worked longer than eight hours per day.

He was cutting out from work. There were early lids and weekends in Delaware prior to COVID. So everyone is aware of the malarkey.
Then Jha tried to say he got tired, just looking at Biden’s public schedule.

If so, then Jha doesn’t have a lot of stamina. As we previously reported, in the two days before his trip to Massachusetts earlier this week, he had nothing on his public schedule and the White House couldn’t give any real explanation for that other than to say that “he was in meetings.” Uh-huh. Given that he later came down with COVID, I wonder if he wasn’t feeling well at that point. But because they’re not straight with us, it’s harder to get at the truth.
They’re not telling us anything else until Monday.

You would think that this was Donald Trump. The media would grab it and call this out. We got actual reports from Trump’s doctor, and not comedy troupe performances.
