House GOP to Probe if Aides 'Covered Up' Biden's Mental Decline

Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson said White House doctor Kevin O’Connor “would do or say anything to cover up and protect” former president Joe Biden.

Texas GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson said a House panel will probe whether former White House doctor Kevin O’Connor concealed former President Joe Biden’s mental decline.

Jackson, the chair of the House Intelligence Committee’s subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, told the New York Post in a story published Friday that the GOP “will look into whether or not we actually had a shadow presidency for a large part of [Biden’s] term” and that O’Connor “will absolutely, positively be implicated in the cover-up of this. He is a massive, massive part.”

“He was probably putting President Biden on lots of medications that we have no clue of—in efforts to try to treat his cognitive decline,” he alleged. The subcommittee has yet to formally announce any investigation.

Jackson is a physician and served in the White House Medical Unit under former Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump before he was elected to Congress in 2020.

Hmmm...Jackson wouldn't have an agenda, would he?

1. And if they did, it would pale in comparison with Trump & Co. "covering up" payments to a porn star.

Which, since he has no recollection of the affair, maybe he's the one with mental decline!

Because “PROBABLY” something or other. Hate to see Doctor OConnor investigated by punks with too much time on their hands, BUT

THE NAVY DEMOTED JACKSON IN 2022 FOLLOWING A DAMAGING PENTAGON INSPECTOR GENERAL REPORT THAT SUBSTANTIATED ALLEGATIONS ABOUT HIS INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR AS A WHITE HOUSE PHYSICIAN.

CONSUMED ALCOHOL INAPPROPRIATELY WITH SUBORDINATES, MADE SEXUAL AND DENIGRATING STATEMENTS, CONSUMED AMBIEN WHILE ON DUTY AS THE PRESIDENTS PHYSICIAN

THE NAVY BUSTED JACKSON WHO IS NO LONGER AN ADMIRAL

Another attempt to Distract from the real problem. I think Ronny is still pi$$ed about the investigation into his misbehavior
