Karine Jean-Pierre, White House Press secretary, denied that President Joe Biden was forced to cancel his Las Vegas trip last month due to a medical emergency. Biden was not seen for nearly a full week after he deplaned Air Force One on his return to the East Coast.

Doocy asks:
One more thing came out this weekend. This new Las Vegas radio traffic was published… in which officers raced to secure an emergency room at a hospital on July 17th.
They thought that President Biden had a medical crisis. What was it exactly?
Jean-Pierre replied:
It was not. You know that the president when we were in Vegas, tested positive for COVID. After we informed you, we returned to the United States. There was no other medical emergency. Some people are still positive for COVID…
Please, KJP. You don’t need to take anyone to the nearest Level One Trauma Center for COVID.
@dbongino says they don’t call a medical emergency with the President unless it’s a big deal emergency. Not surprising this woman is lying…its all she does.

On July 17, while Biden was campaigning for the Democratic Party in Las Vegas the White House announced Biden had yet again tested positive for the COVID virus. As a result, he canceled his plans and flew back to the East Coast. We didn’t believe the COVID diagnosis, thinking it was just a ruse. But on July 22, we found out that Biden’s Secret Service had notified LVMPD that POTUS was in an emergency and that they should close all streets leading to the University Medical Center as soon as possible. The Secret Service then decided to take POTUS directly to the airport and board Air Force One.
We provided additional information regarding the medical emergency that led to the frantic rush. We received audio on Friday from LVMPD, confirming there was indeed a medical crisis with POTUS. LVMPD had attempted to secure the UMC route before abruptly changing their mind and going straight to the airport.
Jean-Pierre and his colleagues are aware that it is not in the best interests of the Democrats or Kamala Harris to let the American public know what happened. We will continue to work on uncovering the truth.
