Texas representative Ronny Jackson (R-TX) and former White House physician for presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo that President Biden should be drug tested before and after Thursday's presidential debate.
Jackson joined Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures" and said:
We have a serious problem here. Everyone knows it now, you don't have to be a physician ... to see what's going on right now. So I have sent five letters previously asking for President Biden to submit to a cognitive test, very similar to the one that President Trump got while he was President, and all five of those letters have gotten completely ignored.
To nobody's surprise, the White House wants no part of any cognitive test for Biden. The left claimed Trump was cognitively impaired, so he took the exam and passed it. Yet when it comes to Biden, those same people don't think it is necessary for him to pass that same test.
Back in March, Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity that anybody who is running for president should undergo such a probe:
Trump says he thinks anyone running for president should take a cognitive test.

This Week's Debate Could Decide the Whole Thing
Jackson continued, saying he will be sending a letter to Biden and his team on Monday:
So tomorrow, I'm sending a letter to President Biden, to his physician, Dr. O'Connor, and I'm CC'ing his entire cabinet, and it's embarrassing that I have to do this ... but we don't have any choice based on what's going on.
Jackson wants to know if Biden is under the influence of performance enhancers:
I'm going to be demanding on behalf of many millions of concerned Americans right now that he submit to a drug test before and after this debate, specifically looking for performance-enhancing drugs because we've seen recently that in his State of the Union address that 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.

Knowing what the Biden White House has done since January 2021, they will likely ignore the concerns and criticisms and simply brush this request by Jackson under the rug.
It would be smart for them to take Jackson up on his request and, if they have nothing to hide, prove to the American people that Biden is not "jacked up" during the debate. If they ignore or decline Jackson's request, it's fair for the voters to assume that Biden could be drugged up during the debate, State of the Union address, or any major speech he gives now or in the future.
