In a fascinating turn of events the Regime Media, formerly intellectually incurious about anything having to do with Joe Biden’s rapid mental decline, have now developed a sudden interest in medical transparency. Are they demanding the Hur Tapes, one might reasonably ask? No, of course not.
Watch as Kristen Welker, host of NBC’s Meet the Press, tries to chide House Speaker Mike Johnson for his apparent lack of interest in former President Donald Trump’s cholesterol levels (click "expand" to view transcript):
KRISTEN WELKER: Should Donald Trump release his medical records, Mr. Speaker?
MIKE JOHNSON: He has. He issued- he issued the records of his physicians. Kamala Harris issued her medical records as a diversion because she's desperate, because she's sinking in the polls. Donald Trump's health is on display. Everyone in America can see it. The man works nonstop. He never quits. He’s- he probably sleeps four hours a night. He doesn't require as much sleep as the average person- he's an unusual figure. And this is the strength that we need at a time like this. We are in the most dangerous moment since World War II. You have to have strength. You have to have a steady hand and you have to have a Commander-in-Chief that our allies respect and our enemies fear. They do not fear Kamala Harris. They do fear Donald Trump. That’s what people are going to vote on.
WELKER: Mr. Speaker, just to be clear. He hasn't released his medical records. He released two letters. Should he release the results of the cognitive test? As he said…
JOHNSON: It's unnecessary. He’s on display every minute.
WELKER: So it's unnecessary. You concede that he didn't release his medical records, you don't want to know things like his cholesterol level, whether he's dealing with any issue that we may not know about if he's going to be Commander-in-Chief. And he also said he’s going to release cognitive tests, which he aced.
JOHNSON: Kristen…Kristen…Kristen…listen to your question.
WELKER: Should he release that?
JOHNSON: The American people… Kristen, the American people don't care about the cholesterol level of Donald Trump. They care about the cost of living and the fact they cannot pay for groceries because Kamala Harris and Joe Biden's policies have put them in that situation. The medical records are irrelevant. Let's talk about the things that the American people care about. That's why Donald Trump is surging in the polls, because he's doing that on stages and interviews non-stop around the clock, and Kamala Harris has done nothing. Every time she talks, her numbers go down because she is uniquely unqualified to be the Commander-in-Chief at one of the most dangerous times in the history of our country. That’s a fact.
We recall that the Regime Media just winked and looked the other way as Biden crumbled before the nation’s eyes, both physically and cognitively. They pretended that nothing was wrong as Biden shook hands with air while appearing confused. They amplified the left’s outrage over the report filed by Special Counsel Robert Hur, and pretended that Hur was way out of line for writing that Biden was “well-intended” but with “declining faculties”.
And it bears noting that the Regime Media kept up this charade until the wheels fell off of Biden at the CNN debate, and not a moment sooner. It only became fashionable about what the rest of the nation knew for years once it became apparent that Biden was no longer viable as a presidential candidate.
So it is not unreasonable to countenance Welker’s concern for Trump’s cholesterol for what it is: rank hypocrisy from a media wholly uninterested in presidential health records until it was time to protect the new Precious. Speaker Johnson rightly dismissed Welker’s concern trolling, exposing it for what it is.
In the meantime, the Regime Media will continue to parrot Harris’s demands for Trump’s physicals. Because of course, this is (D)ifferent.
