A former White House physician had some troubling things to say about Joe Biden after the president took a nasty fall following a commencement speech last week at the U.S. Air Force Academy.
Ronny Jackson, who is now a GOP congressman from Texas, repeated earlier observations about Biden’s lack of mental and physical abilities to continue serving as president during an interview Friday with Fox News host Sean Hannity.
After noting that he believes it is “malpractice” to allow Biden to seek another term, Jackson said he’s “not fit, mentally or physically,” to lead the country.
“This man’s not fit mentally or physically to be our president, and it’s a bad situation for us,” he said. “Part of the job of the President of the United States is to inspire confidence and project power, and he’s not doing that. He can’t do that, he’s too old to do that, and I think it’s a shame.
“I think his lack of physical ability and his physical decline is now starting to highlight the cognitive decline that we’ve been watching for so long now,” Jackson, who served as White House physician under then-President Barack Obama — when Biden was vice president — and former President Donald Trump — added. “It’s a package that just doesn’t sell around the world, and it’s becoming a national security issue for us.
“We have to do something about it. To think that this man thinks he can be president at the age of 86 when he’s 80 right now [and] could be in office for another six years is just malpractice on part of the White House in the West Wing to allow this to be happening, for him to even be talking about running for another term,” he continued.
“Somebody needs to be held accountable. People like Jill Biden and people that surround him and are supposed to love him and care about him, they should be doing something about this, and they should be stopping this because it’s a shame,” he said.
“It would be a better image than what we’re seeing right now — seeing him creep around in a walker. At least he wouldn’t be falling flat on his face in front of the entire world,” Jackson noted. ‘It’s embarrassing for him, and it’s embarrassing for our country.”
