Iran Press/America: Speaking in an interview with Fox News, Ronny Jackson, who is among 14 Republican lawmakers who have signed a letter calling for Biden to take a mental exam, insisted the test "needs" to be conducted.
He told the news outlet on Saturday: "The far left and the mainstream media were demanding that the new standard should be implemented for anybody who’s going to lead our country and be our Commander-in-Chief and our head of state."
"I’m just saying I agree with them at this point — we need to get it done."
According to Fox News, Jackson wants Biden to get tested, just like Trump, who agreed to take the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) to check for cognitive impairment just a year into his presidency.
Although the White House recently said Biden would take a physical exam in 2021, Jackson noted that it is not confirmed whether a cognitive test will be a part of that screening.
The GOP Rep also told Fox News that he thinks Biden is "demonstrating every day that something is going on."
"You don’t need to be a physician to look at this behavior and see there’s something concerning happening."
He recounted how Biden has "always made gaffes" but voiced his concern that the most recent ones are "different."
