In a recent letter, Rep. Ronny Jackson, a Texas Republican who was a White House physician before entering the House, demands that President Biden submit to a drug test before his Thursday “CNN Presidential Debate” with former President Trump.
Jackson sent a three-page letter to Biden’s doctor, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, requesting a “clinically validated drug test”.
“This drug test should be administered both immediately before and after the debate and should include, but not be limited to performance-enhancing drugs,” Jackson stated.
He said debates “have allowed the American public to gain critical insight into specific policy positions held by individual candidates, to demonstrate each candidate’s leadership qualities and style, and to observe the candidates’ ability to perform in an unscripted and high-pressure environment.”
“American citizens must have absolute confidence in their President’s ability to perform his or her duties as Head of State and Commander in Chief, and the debate performance absolutely should be indicative of an individual’s ability to perform these critical duties free of any performance-enhancing drugs or mood-altering medications,” the letter said.
He highlighted a recent Wall Street Journal article that included interviews with over forty sources to illustrate how the 81-year-old leader is becoming less astute even as domestic and international issues become more complicated.
Referring to the study as a GOP smear piece, Biden and his Democratic allies angrily retaliated.
About Biden’s handling of sensitive papers, Jackson also brought up an interview in which special counsel Robert Hur stated that a jury would view the president as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
Subsequently, he accused Biden of using performance-enhancing drugs during the State of the Union address, claiming that the president was “moving and gesturing with his hands at a rapid rate, not blinking, and profusely sweating.”
Numerous recent surveys indicate that voters’ main concern is Biden’s age.
According to a March New York Times/Siena College poll, 61% of those who supported Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election thought that the former senator was “just too old to be an effective president.”
“President Biden, throughout your presidency, over one hundred Members of Congress have called on you on five separate occasions to submit to a cognitive exam, however, each of those requests has been ignored by you and your physician Dr. O’Connor,” Jackson wrote. “President Donald J. Trump set a precedent during his presidency to document and demonstrate the sound mental abilities necessary to fulfil the duties of the Office of the President.”
“Unfortunately, President Biden, your refusal to submit to a cognitive exam, and Dr O’Connor, your unwillingness to address the American people regarding the President’s true mental and physical fitness for duty, has created a condition of great concern for our country as Americans watch the continued decline in our president’s cognitive performance.”
Jackson worked as the White House doctor under both President Obama and President Trump before winning a seat in the House of Representatives.
When asked if he believes Trump should also undergo the same drug testing before the “CNN Presidential Debate,” Jackson’s spokesperson told Fox News Digital, “This is a Biden-specific concern based on the unexplained change in his demeanour during the [State of the Union]. President Trump has been the same his entire life, and there have been no concerning changes. President Trump has also previously offered to take one if Biden does.”
In response to Jackson’s remarks, White House spokesperson Andrew Bates likened him to a character from “The Simpsons” who is well-known for engaging in dubious medical practices.
