President Joe Biden “definitely” has Parkinson’s disease, according to a top New York neurologist who said it’s causing a “degeneration of the brain.”
Speaking with NBC News, quadruple board-certified neurologist Dr. Tom Pitts warned that Biden’s behavior raises many red flags.
“Oh yeah, I see [cases like] him 20 times a day in clinic,” he said, referring to the signs in Biden’s mannerisms.
“It’s ironic because he has just this classic features of neurodegeneration: word-finding difficulties — and that’s not just ‘Oh, I couldn’t find the right word’ — that’s from degeneration of the word retrieval area,” the doctor added.
“This is not a palatal issue or a speech discrepancy,” the doctor continued.
“Plus the rigidity, monotone voice.”
Watch
Pitts also weighed in on Biden’s movement.
“You notice when he turns it’s kind of end-block turning; it’s not a quick turn.”
“That’s one of the hallmarks of Parkinson’s; its rigidity and bradykinesia, slow movement,” he said.
“And he has that hallmark, especially with the low voice they said was a cold; hypophonia, small monotone voice like this over time is a hallmark of Parkinson’s,” Pitts further stated.
“Shuffling gait, we call that ‘little steps,” he further explained.
“Loss of arm swing from the rigidity; when we walk we have a nice cadence, he doesn’t really swing his arms, and end-block turning, meaning he kind of pivots around his foot.”
“I could have diagnosed him from across the mall,” the doctor urged.
Pitts also noted how Parkinson’s is “one of the easier movement disorders to diagnose.”
“I’m a Democrat… This guy is not a hard case.”
“His motor symptoms are degenerating,” Pitts proclaimed.
“He has Parkinsonisms. That is a fact.”
“He has degeneration of the brain. Show me the MRI. Show me he doesn’t.”
“Put your money where your mouth is. He definitely has it.”
The news came after White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dodged questions from reporters over repeated visits by high-profile Parkinson’s disease specialists to the White House.
Citing “security reasons,” Jean-Pierre did little to quell the mounting concerns from reporters.
“I am telling you right now that I am not sharing confirming names from here,” Jean-Pierre said.
On Tuesday, Joe Biden’s personal doctor, Kevin O’Connor, attempted damage control in a letter explaining why such visits were made.
