Doctors: Otto Warmbier Has Extensive Brain Injury. His Father Disses Obama [VIDEO]

Otto Warmbier is in very, very bad shape. Doctors at the Cincinnati Medical Center held a press conference where they reported that he’s suffered extensive brain damage.

Otto Warmbier, as you will recall, is the 22-year-old who was held in a North Korean jail for 18 months. He was accused of ripping down a propaganda poster while on a tour in 2016. Otto returned to the United States on Tuesday.

Dr. Daniel Kanter, director of the Neurocritical Care Program at CMS said that Warmbier has not spoken, nor has he “engaged in any purposeful movements.” He continued: “He shows no signs of understanding language or responding to verbal commands.” Dr. Kanter described this state as “unresponsive wakefulness.”

As for Warmbier’s diagnosis of “botulism” that the North Koreans reported? The neurologists reported that there were no signs of the condition. They still don’t know what caused his brain injury, although it may have resulted from “cardio pulmonary arrest.” And how does a young healthy man develop cardiac arrest? Mayo Clinic reports that it can occur from “an outside trigger, such as an electrical shock, the use of illegal drugs or trauma to the chest at just the wrong time of the heart’s cycle.”

Does that sound like botulism to you?

His father held a press conference earlier on Thursday. Fred Warmbier spoke highly of President Trump and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
