Rep. Ronny Jackson, who served as the former White House physician, speculated that President Joe Biden will be using drugs to stay ‘alert’ and to help him ‘perform’ in the upcoming presidential debate.
“I’m going to be demanding on behalf of many millions of concerned Americans right now that [the president] submit to a drug test before — and after — this debate, specifically looking for performance-enhancing drugs,” Jackson said.
Jackson named a laundry list of medications, including pills used to treat Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, that Biden may be taking.
He also named stimulants like Adderall and Provigil, a powerful stimulant used by Air Force pilots to keep them alert on long missions.
There is a history of drug use, specifically stimulants, in the Biden family. Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, is in recovery for a crack-cocaine addiction.
Jackson, a Texas Republican congressman, appeared on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures where he warned that Biden will potentially be on this mixture of stimulants and other medications to address his “cognitive disorder” during the upcoming presidential debate.
This is a common claim among Republicans, but particularly alarming considering Jackson’s status as the former White House physician where he served under then-President Donald Trump.
Democrats have pushed back against critics concerns that Biden suffers from cognitive decline, and instead claimed Biden’s frequent “senior moments” are simply the president’s stutter.
Fox News star Maria Bartiromo opened the interview with a clip of Biden appearing to lose his train of thought when attempting to say the name of Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas.
Bartiromo said it is an example of the president “appearing to forget” a name.
“That was president Biden on Tuesday appearing to forget the name of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas,” Bartiromo said, “the latest misstep raising concerns among voters over the president’s age and mental capacity.”
Jackson told Bartiromo he has sent letters to the White House asking for a drug test on the president, and he sent another one asking for drug tests on Biden before the debate. Former President Donald Trump has agreed to be drug tested. The White House has not commented on the issue.
The doctor-turned-lawmaker also warned that Biden was “on something” during the State of the Union address earlier this year.
“There was a Joe Biden that came out that was not similar at all to what we see on a day-to-day basis for the last three-and-a-half years. And there’s surely no way to explain that other than he was on something,” Jackson warned. “They’d given him medication.”
Jackson said Biden had spent a week at Camp David adjusting the medical doses of these various medications to balance the cocktail before the debate.
“He’s going to be there at Camp David for a full week before the debate. Part of that is probably experimenting with getting the doses just right.”
“They have to treat his cognition, give him something to help him think straighter, to wake him up for his alertness and then … he’s been agitated,” he continued. “We see that all the time. That’s a common symptom or sign of this cognitive disorder that he seems to be suffering from.”
“What do you think President Biden’s issues are?” Bartiromo asked. “What drugs would they give him?”
Jackson listed the two stimulants, plus his regular dosage of medication.
“I feel like they’re probably giving him a little bit of all of this, they just have to get it just right,” Jackson said.
