Representative Ronny Jackson is leading 13 of his Republican colleagues in the House of Representatives in calling on President Joe Biden to undergo a cognitive test.

A group of 14 Republicans have called on Biden to submit to a cognitive test.
Jackson, a Republican who represents Texas' 13th congressional district, served as former President Donald Trump's White House physician and suffered criticism for his effusive praise of Trump's health
The 14 Republicans have signed a letter calling on Biden to take a cognitive assessment and pointed to examples of what they described as the president's "mental decline."
"Unfortunately, your mental decline and forgetfulness have become more apparent over the past 18 months," the letter reads.
It goes on to outline examples of this, such as Biden appearing to briefly forget Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's name and failing to complete the first line of the Declaration of Independence.
"We encourage you to follow the example set by President Trump by undergoing a cognitive test as soon as possible and immediately making the results available for the American people," the letter says.
There was some confusion in 2020 when former President Donald Trump claimed to have "aced" a cognitive test administered at the Walter Reed National Medical Center. It later became clear he was referring to a test he took in 2018 and not a more recent evaluation.
The 14 Republicans who signed the letter are Ronny Jackson of Texas, Bob Gibbs of Ohio, Jeff Duncan of South Carolina, Andy Harris of Maryland, Brian Babin of Texas, Jody Hice of Georgia, Claudia Tenney of New York, Gregory Steube of Florida, Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin, Kat Cammack of Florida, Jerry Carl of Alabama, Pat Fallon of Texas, Diana Harshbarger of Tennessee and Beth Van Duyne of Texas.
Trump became the subject of ridicule in 2020 when he repeatedly referred to how well he had performed in his earlier cognitive test.
He reportedly had a perfect 30 out of 30 score on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA). The test was widely regarded as simple, with questions such as asking the person to draw a clock showing 11.10. The assessment is designed to test for impairments, not to gauge intelligence, according to The Washington Post.
The Republican signatories want Biden to take MOCA and to publish the results.
Speaking to Fox News' Sean Hannity on Thursday about Biden's mental fitness, Jackson said: "We can't sit on this any longer."
"He's not physically or cognitively fit to be our president right now," Jackson said.
In March, a Defense Department inspector general's investigation alleged Jackson had "bullied" subordinates and "engaged in inappropriate conduct involving the use of alcohol" while serving at the White House. Jackson denied the allegations.
He served as physician to the president during the Obama and Trump administrations and had joined the White House Medical Unit (WHMU) under former President George W. Bush. Jackson was also Trump's unsuccessful nominee to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Karma huh?
And the young'ns are a'comin.
No respect for elders LOL
Joe Biden cannot take a cognitive test because he is under audit. He promises to as soon as he is not under audit.
Ronny Jackson is the mope who falsified Trump's White House medical results.
Prove it..............please. No leftie sources also please.
C'mon Jim, Ronny told both you and I that we could live to 200 if we cut out worms, women, and Wodka.
Never ate worms, beer is more to my liking and haven't chased skirts since I was 55 (but don't tell my wife LOL) so I guess I am good..........at least part way to 200. I'll settle for 134 LOL
You'll never reach 200 if you don't die ... have some pity, think of the daisies.

Point out a sane one ... Thanx
Time for Ronnie to take a sobriety test.
Sponges don't take sobriety tests.
I'm 59 and there are days I'm hard pressed to remember a colleague's name or where I parked my car. I would forget any cabinet member's name and the the first line of Dec of Ind...hell...I can't even remember the Pledge of Allegiance. The man is 78 years old! He doesn't make up words, he doesn't sit up all night blasting out horrible Twitter messages and he actually thinks about other people besides himself.
I mean if 14 Reps out of 435 total Reps want him to take a cognitive test I would tell them "You first"
I'm ... um ... WTFs my birth certificate? Wait a minute, I was born in 1949 and it's 20___ something ... so? Aw fuck it!
I always have to do math to remember how old I am
I've gotten to the point where every day is Tuesday, it's a bonus that comes when you retire your cognitive ability.
So you can eat tacos every day then? Neat (DBO reference there LOL)
I am bad about thinking of something to type, start typing it, then I forget a word.
Like...congress voted for members of the...what was that? That group of a couple of them. What the fuck was that word...
Ten hours later...Cabinet!
Biden stutters, what's MTG's excuse?
Kavika had the best meme yesterday. It was a photo of Large Marge with a warning on why the EPA banned lead paint.
No one has the right to demand Biden take a cognitive test until Trump takes one. A real one, not by some doctor he pays to lie for him like he did with the bone spurs.
Anyone that thinks donald is smart are not very smart themselves.
One would have to be a slobbering knuckle dragger to look up to the likes of him.
To absolutely no one's surprise, they were talking about Donald Trump.
Totally agree Ender. If Trump was made to take a real cognitive test that revealed his true mental condition, his ass kissing followers would find a way to cover it up.
If I had to pout my life in the hands of either one of them, I it would be Biden. Trump does not care how many innocent people died during his term due to his inept and uncaring handling of the COVID-19 that he said didn't exist....or that it was just the flu....or..or......you know.....just something that drinking some bleach would sure instantly. Cause Trump is a genius...just ask him.
He did take one in 2018 at Walter Reed.
This is some gop hall of shame shit but the damn Republicans are too damn dumb to understand it...
I can’t take the GOP seriously if they bitch about ANYTHING they were okay with whenTrump was in office.
It’s only absurd and ridiculous when the other side does it.
