Dr. Phil McGraw stated that President Biden should take a cognitive exam to prove he has nothing to hide, as people with nothing to hide hide nothing.
When asked about Biden not taking a cognitive test during his recent physical, McGraw said cognitive abilities can be objectively defined and measured through tests of memory, comprehension, expression and other factors.
He argued that if Biden had no neurological issues, he would want to publicly take an examination and end concerns about his cognitive health.
“All right, here are the questions: Dr. Phil, do you think President Biden should take a cognitive exam?” Bill Maher asked.
“If you got nothing — people that have nothing to hide, hide nothing,” McGraw said. “So, why not?”
McGraw’s comments came in interviews on HBO’s “Real Time” and with TMZ, where he maintained cognitive tests provide transparency and kill election issues related to a candidate’s mental fitness.
“One of my specialties, back when I was in practice was brain and central nervous system and cognitive ability, cognitive agility, and these things can be defined objectively, such as memory, of course, and what’s called working memory, the ability to comprehend, put sentences together, express yourself,” McGraw said. “All of these things are very measurable.”
“And if you really had nothing to hide, I think you would hide nothing,” he added. “And if you’d had no problem with neurological deficits, wouldn’t you want to crow about that? Wouldn’t you want to have a transparent neurocognitive examination and show the world that was the case? That kills the issue in the election.”
