Nearly 40 GOP lawmakers call on President Joe Biden to follow the example set by former President Trump.
GOP Leaders urge Joe Biden to take the cognitive test, say his 'mental decline' has 'become more apparent, Recent polls have also shown that Joe Biden, age 79, is facing questions about his mental fitness, Americans are unsure of Biden's mental fitness for office. The former physician to the president Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, led a letter with 37 of his Republican colleagues to Joe on Tuesday expressing their "concern" with Biden’s "current cognitive state."
Ronny Jackson on his official Twitter Handle wrote:
Biden isn’t the “leader” of this country. He’s not all mentally there. He’s a braindead figurehead for the most RADICAL elements of the Democrat Party. He needs to GO!
We've seen Biden's cognitive decline on full display for over a YEAR. If President Trump took a cognitive exam while in office, so should Biden. This problem will only get worse with time. We can't afford to wait ANY longer. TAKE THE TEST NOW!
"As a former physician to 3 POTUS, I know what it takes mentally and physically to execute the duties of Commander-in-Chief and Head of State," Ronny continued. "Joe Biden has continually proven to me and to the world that something isn’t right. The American people deserve to have absolute confidence in their President’s cognitive ability."
Ronny said Joe's taking "the cognitive test will be an important first step" in reassuring Americans that the president is fit for office or "in identifying and properly treating symptoms of impairment that are consistent with a variety of cognitive diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, vascular dementia, Parkinson’s, or multiple sclerosis."
"This is not a partisan issue. When I discussed taking a cognitive test with the former President Donald Trump, he was eager to assure the American people and to put the fake news media’s stories to bed," the former presidential doctor wrote. "Why won’t President Biden do the same?"
In the letter, the lawmakers wrote that they "believe that, regardless of gender, age, or political party, all Presidents should follow the example set by former President Donald J. Trump to document and demonstrate sound mental abilities."
"While you underwent your annual physical exam on November 19, 2021, you either did not face a cognitive test or those results were withheld from the public," they continued, adding that while the current physician to the president cleared Biden physically, the lawmakers "are worried about your mental abilities."
The Republican lawmakers also pointed to Joe's stumbling when trying to say how many Americans have received the COVID booster shot and wrote that the slip-ups are "not just a recent trend," saying the president’s "mental decline and forgetfulness have become more apparent over the past 2 years."
There are about 37 more Republican lawmakers who joined this letter including House Republican Conference chairwoman Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, GOP conference vice chairman Mike Johnson of Louisiana, Republican Study Committee chairman Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana & GOP Doctor Caucus.
