Sky News Australia reported that following the latest series of gaffes by President Biden, Congressman Ronny Jackson, the former physician to presidents Obama and Donald Trump, repeated calls for Biden to take a cognitive exam.
"Biden was lost today. He announced he had COVID. He confused his wife with Kamala. He confused himself with Kamala’s husband. Then he fumbled remembering the name of his UN Ambassador. All in under 15 minutes. This is bad! He needs a cognitive exam now!” tweeted the congressman.
Last year, Jackson penned a letter to Biden urging him to undergo such an exam. "The American people should have absolute confidence in their president...They deserve full transparency on the mental capabilities of their highest elected leader," he wrote at the time.
Last month, former President Trump issued a statement attacking his successor, on the one-year anniversary of the January 6 attack on the US Capitol building, accusing Biden of using the violence of that day to divide Americans.
"Biden, who is destroying our Nation with insane policies of open borders, corrupt elections, disastrous energy policies, unconstitutional mandates, and devastating school closures, used my name today to try to further divide America," wrote Trump. "This political theater is all just a distraction for the fact Biden has completely and totally failed. Our Country no longer has borders, has totally and completely lost control of Covid (record numbers!), is no longer energy independent, inflation is rampant, our military is in chaos, and our exit, or surrender, from Afghanistan was perhaps the most embarrassing day in the long and distinguished history of the United States—and so much more," he continued.
"Why is it that the unselect committee of totally partisan political hacks, whose judgment has long ago been made, not discussing the rigged Presidential Election of 2020?" asked Trump. "It’s because they don’t have the answers or justifications for what happened. They got away with something, and it is leading to our country’s destruction. They want all conversation concerning the election 'canceled.' Just look at the numbers, they speak for themselves. They are not justifiable, so the complicit media just calls it the Big Lie, when in actuality the Big Lie was the election itself," concluded the former President.
"The Democrats want to own this day of January 6th so they can stoke fears and divide America. I say, let them have it because America sees through theirs lies and polarizations," added Trump.
