Ex-Trump Doc Suggests on Fox That Biden's on Drugs

Dr. Ronny Jackson, the former White House physician now running for Congress as a Trump-boosting Republican, showed up on Fox News on Monday night for the sole purpose of backing President Donald Trump’s baseless accusation that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is taking secret memory-enhancing drugs to assist his debate performance.

Over the past year, Fox News host Sean Hannity—an informal adviser and close confidant of Trump’s—has been at the forefront of conservative media’s portrayal of Biden as a senile gaffe-machine suffering from severe cognitive decline. The president has latched onto this line of attack, describing the former vice president as “Sleepy Joe” while regularly claiming Biden doesn’t possess the mental fitness for office.

With the first presidential debate approaching, however, the president has started to reset expectations for the ex-veep’s performance. Over the past several weeks, Trump has suddenly begun accusing Biden of taking some mysterious performance-enhancing drug that can boost his memory and cognitive abilities, calling for Biden to be drug-tested before Tuesday’s debate.

During Monday’s broadcast of Hannity’s primetime Fox News program, the host spent the majority of his opening monologue discussing the upcoming debate while replaying his attacks on Biden’s mental acuity and cognitive abilities. At the same time, Hannity suggested the presidential hopeful could have a good debate performance because he’s been preparing “all summer.”

Hannity then turned to Jackson, the former White House doctor who once said Trump could live to 200 if he changed his diet because he has “good genes,” to openly speculate about whether Biden is on a memory-assisting PED.

It's nice to know that Dr. Jackson is also a eugenicist.

Seeing that he made that statement on FOX News and not on CNN or MSNBC, wouldn't it be assumed that viewers would know it's entertainment and not factual news?

There has to be a rule about practicing medicine with your head up Trump’s ass. He’s a disgrace.

"Dr" Jackson knows there's no such drug, but he's tossing this bullshit red meat out to the Fox crowd because they'll believe it. News flash...there's no such thing as a "memory assisting PED"

Of course Racist45 has strongly endorsed him. His Democratic opponent is Gus Trujillo.

You can donate to send Gus Trujillo, instead of Ronny Jackson, to the U.S. House of Representatives, at this link:
