(ReliableNews.org) – Allegedly President Joe Biden is showing signs of slipping as he ages. Based on perspectives from several people — mainly from the GOP — who noted specific concerns. At least one Democrat called it a hit piece, but a former White House physician claims Biden’s mental fitness is a “national security” risk.
Representative Ronny Jackson (R-TX) told Fox News Digital that it just highlighted what he has “been saying all along.” The former White House physician claimed that Biden has “significant issues” and “shouldn’t have [his] job.” However, he didn’t provide any substantive proof of his claim, as he is not and has not served as the current president’s physician. He was, however, the top physician in the White House for former presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump.
In February, the White House released Biden’s health summary from his yearly physical, written by his physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor. The doctor said Biden was “fit for duty and fully executes all of his responsibilities without any exemptions or accommodations.” The complete physical included specialty consultations, including dentistry, optometry, orthopedics, physical therapy, neurology, cardiology, radiology, sleep medicine, and dermatology. While there were some issues listed in the letter, all of them were stable. However, Jackson seemed concerned about Biden’s mental faculties, given the WSJ report. He’s reportedly written the White House several times demanding that the president take a cognitive exam — they’ve apparently been ignored.
Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called the article a “hit piece,” stating there were many Democrats, including herself, who touted Biden’s mental acuity. However, they were not included in the article. She added, “I wonder why.”
Age is a concern among many voters heading into the November election. Biden is 81 and Trump will turn 78 in just a few days.
