An alarming thing happened to Joe Biden during CNN’s town hall on climate change, his eye appeared to have filled up with blood.
This could have been caused by a rupturing blood vessel, also known as a subconjunctival hemorrhage. This could be a result of a number of different issues ranging from high blood pressure, blood thinners, or even excessive straining.
It is by the grace of God that Biden is even still walking around as he has dealt with some serious health problems for decades.
But this recent concern should cause the left who are leaning toward voting for Biden to reconsider. He already appears to show signs of Alzheimer’s. Some of the things he has said suggest that he doesn’t have the best thinking faculties any longer.
When Donald Trump was running for the Republican nomination, everyone showed concern about his fitness and how that would affect his ability to lead a country. Once they found out he was as healthy as a horse they had nothing else they could say. But when it comes to Biden, his health problems are undeniable.
Uh, hey guys. Joe Biden’s eye filled with blood while onstage at the CNN town hall.

According to The Washington Examiner,
Biden, 76, has long been plagued by health issues. In 1988, he suffered an aneurysm that burst and required him to undergo emergency surgery. The then-senator was so close to death that a Catholic priest began preparing to administer the sacrament of last rites.
Months later, surgeons clipped a second aneurysm before it burst. Biden then took a seven-month leave from the Senate following the surgery. He has described the operation as “they literally had to take the top of my head off.”
Jill Biden said in her recently released autobiography Where the Light Enters that, at the time, she feared her husband would never be the same. “Our doctor told us there was a 50-50 chance Joe wouldn’t survive surgery,” she wrote. “He also said that it was even more likely that Joe would have permanent brain damage if he survived. And if any part of his brain would be adversely affected, it would be the area that governed speech.”
Doctors removed a benign polyp during a colonoscopy in 1996. In 2003, Biden had his gallbladder removed. He also suffers from asthma and allergies, and takes a prescription drug to lower his cholesterol. He has also taken medication for an enlarged prostate.
Biden hasn’t disclosed his medical history since 2008 when doctors found he had an irregular heartbeat.
