Sometimes not answering a question is also the answer.

Biden’s doctor, Kevin O’Connor, has been the subject of controversy over his relationship with the Biden family which appeared to extend beyond a normal professional relationship. And the difference between his private and public statements.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated that Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, does not believe a cognitive test is necessary. She said O’Connor believes Biden proves his cognitive ability “every day [in] how he operates and how he thinks.”

Indeed.

“Given Biden’s age, [his physician Kevin O’Connor] also privately said that if he had another bad fall, a wheelchair might be necessary for what could be a difficult recovery,” the authors report.

Now O’Connor isn’t talking. After being asked whether he had been told to lie about Biden’s health and if he had ever believed Biden was unfit, he pled the fifth.

But sometimes not answering is also an answer.
