Rep. Jackson Leads 5th Letter to the White House Demanding Biden Takes Cognitive Exam
Washington,
February 16, 2024
WASHINGTON — Today, Congressman Ronny Jackson (TX-13) led 83 of his colleagues in sending a letter to President Joe Biden demanding that he take a cognitive exam. The letter calls on the Cabinet to swiftly begin the process for invoking the 25th Amendment if President Biden is unwilling or unable to sit for an assessment. Jackson's letter follows four previous letters sent urging President Biden to take a cognitive exam, which have all been ignored. This letter also follows the Department of Justice's Hur Report which described President Biden as a "well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory," and stated that, "He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended." Jackson told Fox News: “This is the fifth time we’ve sent a letter to the White House demanding Biden take a cognitive exam, however while the administration has chosen to ignore each of these requests, it is becoming clearer each day that the President is not cognitively fit. I am proud to be joined by Conference Chairwoman Stefanik, Chief Deputy Whip Guy Reschenthaler and dozens of my House colleagues in this effort. As the former physician to three United States Presidents, extending over fourteen years, I know what it takes, mentally and physically, to be President. It is an extremely demanding job and being anything but top shape puts our country and American lives at risk. These are serious and dangerous times, and the Biden administration seems to be doing everything in their power to make matters worse. There is chaos at the southern border, inflation is at record highs, and now multiple global conflicts impacting American citizens and interests. The radical Left and their number one ally, the mainstream media, hounded me to administer a cognitive exam to President Trump, which I did, and he got a perfect score. It is about time they do the same for President Biden. There is absolutely no comparison between Trump and Biden’s mental fitness. There is a simple solution to the Biden administration’s problem: administer a cognitive exam for the President. If he is unable or unwilling to sit for an exam, then his cabinet should start the process of invoking the 25th amendment. The American people can no longer be left to wonder about the mental and physical fitness of our Commander in Chief and Head of State.”
