Democratic Congressman Dean Phillips has publicly accused Democratic leaders of engaging in a 'cover-up' regarding President Biden's health. In an opinion piece published Thursday, Phillips asserted that there is a concerted effort within the party to downplay concerns about Biden's mental fitness.
Phillips, who launched a primary challenge against Biden in the 2024 election cycle, claims he has witnessed firsthand evidence of Biden's decline. He argues that Democratic leaders are aware of these issues but are choosing to ignore or actively suppress them.
'The emperor has no clothes,' Phillips wrote, referencing the classic fable. He criticized what he perceives as a lack of transparency from the Democratic establishment and the media's reluctance to address the topic.
Phillips's accusations have drawn strong reactions from within the Democratic Party. Many have dismissed his claims as politically motivated, given his past primary challenge. Some media outlets have also been hesitant to amplify Phillips's allegations, citing a lack of concrete evidence.
However, Phillips remains steadfast in his claims, arguing that the American public deserves to know the truth about the President's health. He insists that his concerns are not driven by personal ambition but by a genuine concern for the future of the country. The White House has not yet responded to Phillips' specific allegations.
