Former White House physician Ronny Jackson, who served in the role under the Obama and Trump administrations, said on Wednesday that President Joe Biden needs to undergo an immediate cognitive exam because he is “not fit to be our president right now.”
Jackson’s remarks come as Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion into Ukraine during the early morning hours on Thursday, threatening to upend the entire continent of Europe.
“He’s got 40 years of tape, you can go back and look at this man, so it’s not like we don’t have anything to compare it to,” Jackson said. “You can go back and look, he’s always made gaffes, he’s always made missteps, but never like this. This is something different. These aren’t gaffes…. This is something much more serious.”
Jackson said that Biden’s mental fitness for office, or a lack thereof, “was on full display during the debacle in Afghanistan” and that it could “get more Americans killed” and “ultimately get us in a war because of his lack of leadership.”
