Democratic president Joe Biden’s personal doctor, Kevin O’Connor, found himself caught in the center of controversy, raising more questions than he answered at the recent Congressional hearings. His decision to plead the Fifth Amendment did nothing to calm mounting queries about Biden’s mental fitness during his time in office. It’s a little unsettling, isn’t it? Why not testify if there isn’t anything to hide from Congress? Profess allegiance to patient-doctor confidentiality, fine, but nobody was asking for lab reports. The question we need to ask ourselves is what secret was Biden burying and for how long?
It goes beyond correcting history’s narrative. Politics is a brutal game, especially when it smells like a coverup, and the Democrats seem to know this all too well. It’s almost comical how they dismiss every legitimate suspicion as an attempt to erase Biden’s barely-there legacy, which the Trump administration rightfully challenged. Biden’s autographed orders and laws? They might as well be written with invisible ink considering how they’re viewed.
Pulling the strings behind this political puppet show is the House Oversight Committee. Headed by James Comer, the Congressman from Kentucky, the committee has raised two straightforward questions that O’Connor ignored: ‘Have you ever lied about the president’s health?’ and ‘Was there a time when you believed that Biden was unfit for office?’ If silence could speak, O’Connor’s refusal to answer these questions is practically a blaring siren.
In this fishy scenario, O’Connor’s avoidance of self-incrimination strongly implies his pivotal involvement in what could be the biggest presidential coverup in history. According to Representative Ronny Jackson from Texas, O’Connor seemed to be willing to go to any lengths to shield his own interests due to knowing full well that Biden was unfit to serve.
While the term ‘biggest coverup in presidential history’ may seem ambitious in the light of names like Watergate and Iran-Contra, it rings true if we consider the scope of the secrecy involved here. Indeed, like in the case of Watergate, it’s not as much the act itself as the attempted cover-up that has people raising eyebrows.
The real issue here is transparency. The world has the right to know who truly helmed the USA during Biden’s presidency, what his motives were, and the ‘why’ behind them. If Biden was merely a figurehead for the actual power players within D.C, it raises alarm bells, particularly for a certain segment of the political elite.
Interestingly, the Democrats seem to have nominated an amusingly biased maneater, Representative Jasmine Crockett from Texas, to shield Biden. She’s a former criminal defense attorney who amusingly insisted that Biden entirely comprehended his undertakings as president and failed to see any issues related to his stutter or age that could have harmed the American public.
Such assertions are, naturally, far more digestible now since Biden is just a feeble, elderly ex-president whom his supporters and former aides occasionally flaunt to salvage their standings. But as Congress continues to dredge up the past, this superficial defense might not prove sufficient.
In the upcoming weeks, the House Oversight Committee will host several of Biden’s top aides for hearings. Annie Tomasini, Ron Klain, Steve Richetti, Mike Donilon, Bruce Reed, and Anita Dunn, to name a few, will be standing in the hot seat. None of them bear medical credentials, so they can’t hide behind the veil of doctor-patient confidentiality.
So, should they too decide to plead the Fifth, it will be crystal clear. The only privilege at risk here, the only secret they’d be looking to maintain, wouldn’t be Biden’s but their own. It would confirm suspicions about the coverup, adding another layer to this already thick plot of political intrigue.
