Members of President Joe Biden’s security detail and staff at nearby hospitals have all been put on high alert after the president appeared to have some sort of health scare during a recent visit to Las Vegas.
Last Wednesday, Biden’s team was forced to cut short a trip to Sin City after the president fell ill. COVID-19 is the ultimate diagnosisMany in Las Vegas were under the impression that Biden had experienced a more serious illness and was beginning to prepare accordingly.
“We did not know the nature of his illness. As a precautionary measure, LVMPD began proactively closing off roads leading to UMC Hospital.”
He said more than six police officers were assigned to protect Biden that day. Jordan Schachtel According to the report, dispatchers radioed in to request “urgent” assistance because Biden was having what Schachtel called an “unexplained medical emergency,” and officers then began blocking roads and securing the area so they could quickly transport Biden to University Medical Center on W. Charleston Boulevard, just west of the Las Vegas Strip.

Follow-up report from Connor Sermonte Radar Online It also included a statement from a local official confirming Biden’s health warnings.
UMC CEO Mason VanHouweling told Radar Online that the hospital was ready to provide any medical assistance needed. “Our hospital was ready and waiting to accommodate any and all of the president’s needs,” VanHouweling said.
“We knew we were dealing with a more medical issue. Trauma or accidents were definitely out of the question. We switched gears to address the medical needs at UMC.”
The Las Vegas Police Department also released a statement, confirming the reports of an “illness” and noting that Biden flew out of town shortly thereafter.
The Las Vegas Police Department was notified that President Joe Biden was feeling unwell on July 17 while visiting Las Vegas.
“We did not know the nature of his illness. As a precaution, LVMPD began proactively blocking roads leading to UMC Hospital. The Secret Service then notified LVMPD that the President planned to travel directly to Harry Reid International Airport and leave Las Vegas.”
The officials aboard Air Force One weren’t kidding: They flew into the airport in Dover, Delaware, “so fast” that “the plane was shaking,” according to a senior White House correspondent for the Daily Mail. Emily Goodin.
Some pointed the finger at Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who first mentioned Biden’s Las Vegas emergency. Social Media Posts It went viral on Monday. Newsweek He insisted that “rumors” about Biden having a “medical emergency” had been “denied” and suggested Kirk’s post was just one in a long line of “dubious theories” spread by “right-wing commentators.”
However, Newsweek failed to point out that Kirk had apparently posted the tweet in hopes of finding out more about a “strange lead” he had received about Biden’s health, a matter he had not fully investigated at the time.
Additionally, some of the statements Kirk made in his post turned out to be true, including one that said Louisiana State Police troopers had learned of “an emergency involving Joe Biden” and had given instructions that “necessary road closures should be established so the President can be transported immediately to University Medical Center.”
Schachtel worked with TPUSA on preparing the report but did not specifically mention working with Kirk.
