White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called out The New York Times and its White House reporter Katie Rogers for suggesting that President Donald Trump is cognitively unwell after previously defending former President Joe Biden\u2019s health.<\/p>\n

Rogers and journalist Dylan Freedman authored a story on Tuesday titled \u201cSigns of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities Of Aging in Office,\u201d which suggested that the 79-year-old president has made fewer public appearances and has appeared tired in comparison to his first term, The Daily Caller\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n

Leavitt denied the allegations and pointed out that the story was written by the same reporter who defended Biden\u2019s cognitive health after he fell on Air Force One in March 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will point out one fake news story over the weekend before I let you all go from The New York Times that took about one third of the president\u2019s daily calendar and his daily schedule and said that he\u2019s doing less than he did in his first term or he might not be fit for the job. That is unequivocally false and it\u2019s deeply unfortunate that this story was written by the same outlet and the same reporter who wrote this. \u2018Biden is doing 100 percent fine after tripping while boarding Air Force One,\u2019\u201d Leavitt said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, same outlet, same reporter who wrote that President Trump is not fit for the job. Are you kidding me? You all see him almost every single day. He is the most accessible president in history,\u201d Leavitt continued.<\/p>\n

Under Rogers\u2019 byline, the Times published the headline \u201cBiden \u2018Doing 100 Percent Fine\u2019 After Tripping While Boarding Air Force One,\u201d which cited Karine Jean Pierre, the then principal deputy press secretary, who argued that Biden fell because of strong wind.<\/p>\n

Footage showed Biden falling forward on the steps as he boarded the plane and then appearing to lose his balance again before landing on his left knee.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty windy outside,\u201d the piece quotes Jean Pierre saying. \u201cIt\u2019s very windy. I almost fell coming up the steps myself. He is doing 100 percent fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
