On Monday’s episode of Outnumbered, Kayleigh McEnany, former White House Press Secretary, reportedly made a passionate plea for accountability concerning former President Joe Biden’s mental health, particularly in light of revelations from a forthcoming book by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson.
The book suggests that concerns about Biden’s cognitive abilities date back to his 2020 presidential campaign, raising troubling questions about transparency and governance.
McEnany focused on an excerpt from the book, which she described as “important” but overlooked.
The passage details a troubling scene in which Biden was unable to engage meaningfully during discussions with his team, prompting comments from aides who noted his apparent disorientation.
“It was like watching grandpa who shouldn’t be driving,” one Democratic operative reportedly said about Biden’s performance.
“This is from 2020, and you let this man run for president,” McEnany exclaimed, noting the implications of such a revelation.
She pointed to the chaotic events surrounding the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, specifically referencing the suicide bombing at Abbey Gate in August 2021 that resulted in the deaths of 13 American service members. “Those service members deserve answers. Their families deserve answers,” she asserted.
Scott Adams says he has the same cancer that Joe Biden has, says he expects to be “checking out” this summer.

The discussion touches on broader themes of accountability within the Democratic Party and the implications of leadership choices.
McEnany’s comments reflect a growing frustration among critics who argue that Biden’s administration has not been forthright about his health and fitness for office.
Co-panelist Guy Benson supported McEnany’s position, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging the concerns raised about Biden’s capabilities.
“The entire Democratic Party, the White House, and most of the press insisted not only was he fine over the ensuing four years, he was fit to serve until 2029,” he remarked, framing the situation as a significant scandal.
The conversation around Biden’s mental health has gained traction in recent weeks.
Critics have increasingly scrutinized Biden’s public appearances and decision-making processes, questioning the transparency of his administration.
The revelations from Tapper and Thompson’s book could exacerbate concerns among voters who prioritize leadership stability and accountability.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, the implications of Biden’s health on his administration and the upcoming election remain uncertain.
McEnany’s calls for answers may resonate with many who seek clarity and accountability from their leaders in these turbulent times.
