In a late-week interview, Dr. Phil McGraw suggested that President Joe Biden undergo a cognitive test to demonstrate his lack of concealment.
When challenged about the matter during an interview on HBO’s “Real Time” with Bill Maher on Friday night, McGraw responded as follows: Biden recently had his annual medical checkup, but he did not take a cognitive test.
“Okay, so here are the questions. Do you believe that President Biden needs to have a cognitive examination, Dr. Phil?” Maher posed the question during a CNN “Overtime” broadcast.
McGraw shot back, saying, “If you have nothing to hide, folks that have nothing to hide, hide nothing.” “So why not?”
This week, in an interview with TMZ, McGraw responded to the question in a somewhat more thorough manner.
“When I was practicing, one of my areas of expertise was the brain, central nervous system, cognitive ability and agility. These are things that can be objectively defined, like memory and working memory, which is the capacity to understand, construct sentences, and communicate,” McGraw said. “These are all really measurable things.”
He went on, “And I suppose you would hide nothing if you genuinely had nothing to hide.” And wouldn’t you like to brag about not having any neurological impairments? Would you not want to demonstrate to the public that you had a transparent neurocognitive examination? That resolves the election’s problem.
