Despite evidence from the Las Vegas Metro PD to the contrary, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre denied that President Joe Biden had a medical emergency that caused him to cut short his trip to Las Vegas last month. After Biden deplaned Air Force One upon his return to the East Coast, nobody saw him for nearly a week.

Doocy asked:
There’s one more thing that came out over the weekend. There’s this new Las Vegas police radio traffic that’s published… where officers were racing to secure a hospital emergency room on July 17th.
They were under the impression that President Biden was having a medical emergency. What was it?
Jean-Pierre replied:
There was not. As you know the president when we were in Vegas tested positive for COVID. We let you all know, and then we flew back here. Outside of that, there was no medical emergency. People are still testing positive for COVID….
Sorry, KJP, you don’t take someone to the nearest level one trauma center for COVID.
I would think they wouldn’t. Also what a lot of people have missed is what @RedState‘s @BrutalBrittany2 pointed out when we first broke the news on 7/22: The restaurant Biden was at when he had this medical emergency is abt 1.5 miles from a pretty large hospital, but Secret… pic.twitter.com/KjvbxXixtM

For background, on July 17, when Biden was campaigning in Las Vegas, the White House announced that Biden had tested positive for COVID yet again and as a result he was canceling his plans and flying directly back to the East Coast. Many of us didn’t buy the COVID diagnosis and believed it was a cover for something else, and on July 22 we learned that Biden’s Secret Service detail had alerted LVMPD on July 17 that there was an emergency with POTUS and they needed to close streets leading to University Medical Center ASAP. Shortly after that, the Secret Service decided to instead take POTUS straight to the airport to board Air Force One.
EXCLUSIVE: Sources Say Joe Biden Suffered Neurological Event Before Suddenly Leaving Las Vegas
RedState confirmed that story with our own sources and reported additional information about the medical emergency leading to the frantic scramble. On Friday we received the audio from LVMPD confirming that there had been a medical emergency with POTUS and that indeed LVMPD was attempting to secure the route to UMC before suddenly changing to go straight to the airport.
Unfortunately, Jean-Pierre and her colleagues know that they can continue to lie about what happened to Biden, or simply say nothing at all, because it’s not in Kamala Harris or the Democrats’ best interest for the American people to know what happened. But we will keep working to uncover the truth.
