Former first lady Jill Biden is refusing to close the door on one of the wilder theories surrounding her husband’s disastrous 2024 debate performance.
That he was drugged.
In a recent interview with podcast host Jamie Kern Lima, the only doctor less qualified than doctors Anthony Fauci and/or Pepper to offer medical assessments was asked if a stroke had been ruled out by actual medical professionals.
"Well, they did. They said, I mean, I didn't say to them, when I was writing my book, I was reflecting, but I didn't say, 'God, did Joe have a stroke?' I just said, 'Is he OK? Is he OK?'" Biden replied.
She further suggested that nobody really knows what happened that fateful night.
"I mean, there's all kinds of theories — you know, he had been traveling," Biden said. "I know he was tired, he didn't feel well that day, when I saw him, but there was nothing definitive that I could point to. And I had been on the road for two weeks up until that moment. So, I wasn't with him. I didn't see him days before, weeks before. I saw him maybe one hour before."
Lima then asked whether someone might have laced Uncle Joe's beverage of choice or pulverized oatmeal beforehand.
"There's no way anyone could have, God forbid, laced his drink or something?" she said.
"Who knows? Who knows?" Biden openly wondered.
Hell, I suggest we ride this train all the way into the station here. Let's have an investigation as to whether or not someone drugged (and overdosed him at that) the President of the United States.
It's not like there is anybody within close proximity of the former President who heavily dabbled in drugs or anything. I mean, it was cocaine found in the White House after all, not Ambien.
Oh, speaking of which, Jill's comments are very similar to the same theory Hunter Biden had as to why Joe lost his ever-loving mind during that debate.
"I'll tell you what, I know exactly what happened in that debate," Hunter said in an interview last year. "He flew around the world basically, and the mileage that he could have flown around the world three times. He's 81 years old."
"He's tired as s***. They give him Ambien to be able to sleep. He gets up on the stage, and he looks like he's a deer in the headlights."
WARNING: Language
Hunter Biden appears to suggest President Joe Biden had been given Ambien before the debate last year and ended up looking like a "deer in the headlights."

That makes two Bidens who have now suggested somebody in the vicinity of the sitting President of the United States may have drugged him. That seems worth investigating.
The National Library of Medicine (NLM) warns that Ambien, the drug Hunter flat-out states was given to his father prior to a legacy-defining debate, has special warnings for elderly patients, including an increased risk of "delirium."
The American Geriatrics Society Beers Criteria also lists Ambien (zolpidem) as a medication to avoid in adults 65 or older whenever possible, citing heightened risks of falls, fractures, delirium, and more severe effects — including potential overdose complications.
Delirium causes severe confusion, trouble focusing, and changes in awareness.
The debate, roughly two years ago now, featured Biden going on a meandering monologue about God knows what and ending his thoughts with, “We finally beat Medicare.”
Trump would later quip, “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence, and I don’t think he knows what he said either.”
Biden: "Making sure we make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with covid, excuse me, with umm dealing with everything we had to deal with. Look, we finally beat medicare."

Hunter says someone gave Joe a specific drug. Jill suggests somebody could have laced his drink. Again, paging Secret Service. Or the DOJ.
All of this is potentially serious and all, but Joe's most prominent elder abusers are acting as if the debate performance was a one-off. It fails to account for the well-documented video evidence that Sleepy Joe has looked like a deer in headlights for well over a decade.
Could he have been drugged repeatedly and consistently throughout his White house tenure? To quote Dr. Jill — Who knows?
President Trump, you may recall, repeatedly suggested Biden might be pumped with drugs for the debates, even demanding testing for both candidates.
"Drug test for 'Crooked' Joe Biden?" he posted on Truth Social days ahead of their contest. "I would also immediately agree to one!"
ABC News at the time described Trump's comments as "baseless claims" while Biden's campaign rejected the pre-debate drug test, calling his opponent's suggestion "desperate."
Turns out he may have been onto something.
