Internet wants Biden gone as Megyn Kelly questions his health amid top neurologist's White House visits
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Megyn Kelly has suggested that frequent visits by a Parkinson’s specialist to the White House could provide a crucial clue regarding President Joe Biden’s health issues.
During a recent episode of 'The Megyn Kelly Show' and in an accompanying online article, Kelly argued that these visits might shed light on "what’s wrong" with the president following his disappointing performance in a recent debate against Donald Trump.
Parkinson’s specialist’s White House visits raise questions about Biden’s health
Citing reports, including from the New York Times, Kelly highlighted that Dr Kevin Cannard, a Parkinson’s disease expert from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, visited the White House eight times over eight months, with most appointments arranged by Biden’s Navy nurse.
"We have no independent confirmation that all of those visits were for President Biden or to examine him, but we know a Parkinson’s doctor has been at the White House almost every month for the past year," Kelly remarked. "And if he was meeting with President Biden — the man who refuses to take a cognitive test — it is a massive scandal."

Kelly emphasized the need for transparency from the White House, asserting that the American people deserve clear answers.
This call for clarity intensified after journalists pressed White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for details about the doctor’s visits, leading to a contentious exchange.
Jean-Pierre declined to confirm specific details but emphasized that Biden undergoes an annual physical exam that includes consultation with a neurologist.
Medical report indicates no neurological issues for Biden
According to the latest report from February, Biden’s doctor found no evidence of neurological issues like Parkinson’s or stroke.
"Questions of Biden’s viability to run for a second term in the White House hit a fever pitch after his poor showing during the June 27 presidential debate against Donald Trump," Kelly stated. "The president stumbled through much of the debate with a scratchy throat and wandering mind, often coming off as inarticulate."
Concerns about Biden’s ability to pursue a second term have escalated following his lackluster performance in the June 27 presidential debate, where he appeared unsteady and struggled to articulate his thoughts.
Several influential Democratic donors, including Rob Reiner, have publicly urged Biden to step aside to allow for a different nominee, citing concerns about preserving democracy and the future of the party.
"It’s time to stop f**king around," Reiner tweeted, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. "Joe Biden has effectively served us with honor, decency, and dignity. It’s time for Joe Biden to step down."
Biden's personal physician clarifies neurologist's visits
The White House has addressed the concerns regarding President Joe Biden's health, prompted by reports that his personal physician consulted with neurologist Dr Kevin Cannard, a specialist in movement disorders at the Walter Reed Medical Center.
Dr Kevin O'Connor, Biden's physician, deviated from standard practice by releasing a letter on July 8, detailing Dr Cannard's visits to the White House over the past eight months.
He said Dr Cannard has been integral to the White House Medical Unit for neurological consultations, supporting both presidential and military personnel with a range of neurological issues.
However, O'Connor noted that the majority of Dr Cannard's visits to the White House have been in his capacity as a specialist with the White House Medical Unit, where he has been treating a broad range of neurological issues for twelve years.
He said Cannard "has held regular Neurology Clinics at the White House Medical Clinic in support of the thousands of active-duty members assigned in support of White House operations.''
"Many military personnel experience neurological issues related to their service, and Dr Canard regularly visits the WHMU as part of this General Neurology practice, which may explain some of the visits," he added.
Cannard's visits to the White House were similar during the Obama administration, as indicated by visitor logs, and continued during the Trump administration, despite the absence of published logs, according to a source who requested anonymity.
Despite ongoing scrutiny, O'Connor emphasized that Biden's recent physical examination revealed no signs of neurological disorder, affirming that the president has not sought neurology consultations outside his annual physical.
