At The Spectator, Neal Pollack details the findings of the House Oversight Committee on Biden’s auto pen usage and his puppet presidency. Pollack writes:
Yesterday the House Oversight Committee released an extraordinary 91-page document called “The Biden Autopen Presidency: Decline, Delusion and Deception in The White House.” Based on interviews with a dozen Biden aides, the committee concluded, essentially, that Biden was a puppet President incapable of self-functioning. Biden’s advisers took “steps” to make him appear marginally Presidential. The report states:
“These steps ranged from addressing President Biden’s makeup, clothing, schedule, the number of steps President Biden could walk or climb, the amount of time President Biden needed to read and to spend with his family,” the report states, “keeping cabinet meetings to a minimum, eliciting ‘direction’ from Hollywood on the State of the Union and other events, and using teleprompters even at small, intimate events.”
All this is part and parcel of the Trump administration and Republican congressional majority’s efforts to erase all traces of the Biden presidency from existence. The Biden camp, as usual, claims there was nothing wrong and that Joe was sharp as a tack during his time in office. “This investigation into baseless claims has confirmed what has been clear from the start: President Biden made the decisions of his presidency,” a spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal. “There was no conspiracy, no cover-up, and no wrongdoing. Congressional Republicans should stop focusing on political retribution and instead work to end the government shutdown.”
The most interesting and potentially damning elements of the Autopen Report involve Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s personal physician, who took the Fifth Amendment while testifying to the Oversight Committee earlier this year. The report calls O’Connor “a key figure in the coverup.”
The report states, about O’Connor, “His refusal to answer questions about the execution of his duties as physician to the president – combined with testimony indicating that Dr. O’Connor may have succumbed to political pressure from the inner circle, influencing his medical decisions and aiding in the cover-up – legitimizes the public’s concerns that Dr. O’Connor was not forthright in carrying out his ultimate duties to the country.”
