NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Former CBS News reporter and Fox Nation host Lara Logan has alleged that first lady Jill Biden ‘knows that her husband has dementia’ and is ‘lying to the whole country about it.’ Logan was fired from Fox Nation last year. She made this claim in an interview with Newsmax TV on Thursday, September 15, without providing any proof. “You’re never going to see the New York Times doing an article about the fact that Jill Biden is propping up her husband,” Logan told the network’s host Eric Bolling.
Although several people have expressed concerns about the US President’s health, the 79-year-old has always rejected these allegations in the past. “I mean, if you want to know something that is truly reprehensible and disgusting, is here is this woman who knows that her husband has dementia, and yet she’s lying to the whole country,” Logan added.
She continued, “She’s lying to her own base, lying to her own supporters. I mean, if there’s anything nauseating about what anyone’s spouses are doing, it’s really quite extraordinary to watch this woman trying to cover up with for the absolute embarrassment that passes for a cognizant human being in the president today”, reports Daily Mail.
Logan was ‘quietly benched’ by Fox News in December, after she made the highly controversial comparison between Dr Anthony Fauci and Nazi concentration camp torturer Josef Mengele. Logan earlier said she “was definitely pushed out” by Fox execs over her remarks. However, a Fox News spokesperson told the outlet that she was never hired as a permanent employee in the company. “We didn’t commission the show and there are no new episodes available,” the spokeswoman said.
Logan also came to the limelight in August after alleging US Border Patrol agents were distributing Social Security numbers to immigrants at the border. A spokesperson for the Border Patrol responded that the agency does not hand out Social Security numbers, nor does it have the authority to.
Earlier, Fox News host Tucker Carlson claimed Biden takes ‘pills’ to boost his cognitive performance before public appearances in July and also claimed that he had spoken ‘directly’ to a witness who saw the alleged medication on the 2020 campaign trail. “His staff, supervised by Dr. Jill, his wife, was giving him pills before every public appearance. Checking the time, and at the certain hour giving him a dose of something,” Carlson said.
According to the outlet, President Biden takes prescription medication for an irregular heartbeat, high cholesterol and seasonal allergies from his White House doctor. None of those medications are considered cognitive enhancers. White House Physician Kevin C O’Connor did not mention any cognitive issues in the November report, and wrote that Biden ‘is fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency.’ Biden, if re-elected to the presidency, would be 86 at the end of his second term.
