Biden recently had another one of his senior moments. That came during an appearance of his at the Laborers’ International Union of North America (LIUNA) training center. While there, President Biden, speaking, saying “You know, uh…” before looking around confused. He then put down the microphone, looked around a bit more, picked it back up, and mumbled “you guys over here” into it. So not exactly an impressive moment on Biden’s part.
And former White House physician and current Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) noticed President Biden’s mental problem and tweeted about it, saying “WOW! What is going on with Biden here??? He’s TOTALLY lost. This man needs a cognitive exam NOW. There’s NO WAY he’s ok!!” Here’s that tweet and a video of Biden’s awkward moment:

This isn’t the first time that Rep. Jackson has demanded that Biden take a cognitive test. Writing to Fox News Digital in an email about his push for Biden to take a cognitive test this time last year, Rep. Jackson said “My colleagues and I are again asking President Biden to immediately undergo a formal cognitive screening exam, such as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA).”
Continuing, Jackson then said “As a former physician to three Presidents of the United States, I know what it takes mentally and physically to execute the duties of Commander-in-Chief and Head of State. 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.”
Adding to that, Rep. Jackson said that for Biden, taking “the cognitive test will be an important first step” in either convincing Americans that Biden’s brain is functional and their president isn’t senile or would be useful in “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.”
Continuing the email and focusing on precedent, Rep. Jackson then said “This is not a partisan issue. When I discussed taking a cognitive test with President Trump, he was eager to assure the American people and to put the fake news media’s stories to bed. Why won’t President Biden do the same?”
Finally, Rep Jackson pointed out that if Biden refuses to take the test after Democrats demanded Trump do so, that would be a major breach of good faith and precedent, saying “We can only assume the worst if he doesn’t submit to the same standard that his own party demanded of the last Administration. The precedent has been set.”
That’s not all. Around the same time last year, Rep. Jackson and numerous Republican colleagues of his wrote a letter demanding that Biden take such a cognitive test, saying:
“We again write to you to express concern with your current cognitive state. We believe that, regardless of gender, age, or political party, all Presidents should follow the example set by former President Trump to document and demonstrate sound mental abilities. While you underwent your annual physical exam on November 19, 2021, you either did not have a cognitive test or those results were withheld from the public. White House Physician Kevin O’Connor, D.O., attested to you being “fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency” in a purely physical manner; however, we are worried about your cognitive and mental abilities.”
Then, in a powerful statement, they said “The American people should have absolute confidence in their President. They deserve to know that he or she can perform the duties of Head of State and Commander-in-Chief. They deserve full transparency on the mental capabilities of their highest elected leader. To achieve this, we urge you to submit to a cognitive test immediately. We implore you to then publish the test results, so the American people know the full mental and intellectual health of their President, and to follow the example set before you.“
