Rep. Byron Donalds , without evidence, accused President Joe Biden of being “jacked up” and using “injections” in order to appear “coherent.” There is no evidence that Biden uses or has used drugs.
The Republican congressman lobbed the baseless speculation Sunday during an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, who countered Donalds’ allegation by responding, “These are obviously very serious charges...
We’re not doctors. We have no idea.” If Bartiromo is pushing back against your rhetoric, you know you’re out of pocket.
Bartiromo also heard the “jacked up” accusation when GOP Rep. Greg Murphy made the same assertion Thursday on Fox Business, claiming he has “evidence” (that he did not produce) to show Biden was “jacked up on something” while delivering the State of the Union address. “I was in the State of the Union address, and Joe Biden must have been jacked up on something that day.
I absolutely believe that from a medical viewpoint and actually have a little bit of good knowledge that happened,” Murphy, a surgeon, said. “He can’t stand, and he can’t stand under the lights for that long, and I don’t think he can keep a concept in his brain that long,” Murphy added. When Bartiromo responded asking for clarification, Murphy alleged, “I believe they gave him something to sustain the lights and sustain the vigor that he had.
That was not Joe Biden. I was in there. He screamed for two hours.
” (Biden was passionate that.
