Former White House Doctor Rep. Ronny Jackson Reiterates Call for Pres. Joe Biden to Take Cognitive Test, Saying "He Is Not Fit to Be President" Amid Russia-Ukraine Crisis

Former White House doctor Rep. Ronny Jackson has repeated his calls for U.S. President Joe Biden to take a cognitive test immediately amid the Russia-Ukraine crisis.

Jackson said that Biden looks tired, weak, and confused. He added that the president is "incoherent," saying that it sends a message of weakness all over the world, according to The Daily Wire report.

The former White House physician, who served during former President Barack Obama's administration, said that Biden's mental fitness for office "or a lack of thereof" was shown during the Afghanistan withdrawal.

Jackson said that the whole country is seeing Biden's mental cognitive issues on display and that there is no question in most people's minds that there is something going on with the president.

The Republican representative then said that in his mind, Biden is "not fit to be our president right now."

Jackson then cited the president's gaffes and missteps. However, he said that what is happening right now is "something different," saying that it is something "much more serious."

U.S. President Joe Biden's Cognitive Test

A new poll released last week revealed that two-thirds of likely voters want to see Biden complete the same cognitive test that former U.S. President Donald Trump took when he was in office, according to a Daily Mail report.

A Rasmussen Reports survey showed that 56 percent of respondents do not think Biden is fit for office, while 43 percent of Democrats want to see Biden take the cognitive test and have the results released.

A group of 38 Republican House lawmakers signed a letter to Biden calling for his cognitive test. Jackson was the leading proponent of the matter.

The letter noted of recent examples of the president's "mental decline," which includes forgetting numbers and names, as well as recent gaffes and hot mic incidents.

The purpose of the cognitive test is to assess mild cognitive impairment or early signs of dementia.

U.S. President Joe Biden on Russia-Ukraine Crisis

Biden has announced new sanctions against Russia as it made its move on Ukraine.

Biden said that the new sanctions package include limiting international trade with Moscow, while also penalizing Russian leader Vladimir Putin's inner circle, according to an Aljazeera News report.

The sanctions focus on four Russian banks holding more than $1 trillion in assets, which include the country's largest bank, Sberbank.

The president said that the new imposition of the sanction would mean that every asset that Russia has in America will be frozen.

Biden said that the U.S. will limit Russia's ability to do business in dollars, euros, pounds, and yen to be part of the global economy.

The president told the press that he has "no plans" to talk to Putin. He did not answer why the U.S. is not sanctioning Putin directly, according to a CBS News report.

More Russian oligarchs and members of their families will also be affected by the sanctions, with elites seen to be targeted in the future.
