A former White House doctor ripped on Biden stating that he needs an immediate mental check-up, according to The Daily Wire.
Ronny Jackson suggested that Biden’s “mental decline and forgetfulness have become more apparent over the past eighteen months.”
“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 set an example for all Presidents to follow going forward.”

As you may remember, starting in 2018, political opponents and members of the media clamored for then-President Trump to take a cognitive test. In response, the White House Physician conducted a Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) for President Trump, at which he excelled.
