Rep. Jasmine Crockett defended former President Joe Biden’s mental acuity after White House physician Kevin O’Connor’s interview, attributing the former president’s verbal gaffes to his lifelong stutter.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, said she had zero concerns about former President Joe Biden’s mental acuity while he was in the White House.
Crockett was the only other lawmaker besides House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., in the closed-door interview with former White House physician Kevin O’Connor on Wednesday morning.
She told reporters afterward that Biden’s stutter was the reason for his frequent verbal gaffes and raised her own accusations about President Donald Trump’s mental faculties.
«No, I had none», Crockett told reporters when asked whether she had any concerns about Biden’s mental fitness while he was in office.
She conceded she did not see Biden «every single day», but added, «I did have an opportunity to interact with the president.
