Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) is now calling for a cognitive test for Joe Biden. And Jackson is not just any other representative, he has some cause to know a little bit about presidential health. He was the former White House physician for both Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump. This from redstate.com.
Jackson sent a letter to Biden calling on him to take a cognitive test. The letter is signed by 13 other Republicans.

Jackson told Sean Hannity last night that they can’t “sit on this any longer” given Biden’s embarrassing performance during his European meetings with world leaders. “He’s not physically or cognitively fit to be our president right now,” Jackson said.
The letter said “Unfortunately, your mental decline and forgetfulness have become more apparent over the past 18 months,” and it listed a variety of Biden’s problematic incidents from forgetting the name of his Defense Secretary, making up an Amtrak story that could not have occurred as Biden described and having problems with the first line of the Declaration of Independence.
Of course, that’s just a small list, they could have added many more incidents including all the issues he had in Europe.
The letter encouraged Biden to take the test, as President Donald Trump had.
When I was Physician to President Trump, the media relentlessly pushed a narrative that he needed a cognitive test.
I administered the test and he excelled!

Jackson, of course, brings up an obvious point. Democrats and the media were constantly pushing for a test for Trump but now are not interested in such a test for Biden when there is far more to be concerned about in terms of cognitive impairment with Biden than there ever was with Trump.
Democrats primarily didn’t like what Trump had to say and were looking for an excuse to get him out. Biden on the other hand has issues with confusion, memory and other demonstrable impairment every week. We saw with the European meetings what a danger that can be and how it exposes the weakness to the rest of the world.
Every president probably should take one but now it’s become a political battlefield to even suggest it since democrats politicized it. But now, of course what hypocrites they are that they suddenly don’t want it done for Biden. What standards they wanted for Trump they aren’t willing to apply to Biden.
So what’s the democrat and media response? To attack Jackson. But it isn’t about Jackson. It’s about Biden and that’s what they don’t want Americans to focus on and that’s why they’re so up in arms at Jackson because it does bring focus on it.
