A FORMER White House physician said President Joe Biden is no longer “cognitively prepared” to be in office after huge blunders in an Afghanistan interview.
Ronny Jackson’s remark comes after Biden sparked fury by saying “no one is being killed” in the chaos around Kabul airport and presented memory lapses regarding his son.
Jackson, who served under both Presidents Obama and Trump shared his thoughts on Biden during a Fox interview on Friday morning.
He said: “We’re looking horrible right now on the world stage, this is an absolute national embarrassment.
“And instead of being out in front of this and talking about what’s going on, and what went wrong, and what the plan was, and what we’re gonna do next, Biden’s just been in hiding again, as he always has.”
“Biden, once again, has failed us. He’s embarrassed us internationally.”
“And you know, honestly, it is time for him to leave. I’ve been saying this for a long time. I’ve been saying that he’s not, he’s not cognitively prepared to be our president. And this is just another example of his failure.
“And I think a lot of this is relevant to his cognitive ability. But he’s, he’s created a national security disaster for this country right now.
“And it’s time for him to move on and somebody else needs to do this job. He is not fit to be our commander in chief. It’s time for him to resign.”

A day after Afghan health officials announced one death and six wounded when the Taliban violently dispersed a protest as numerous died trying to flee the country, Biden commented on the violence unfolding.
He said: “No one’s being killed right now — we got 1,200 out yesterday, a couple thousand today. And it’s increasing. We’re gonna get those people out,” Biden said as he knocked on wood next to him.”
During an interview Wednesday with former White House Communications Director George Stephanopoulos, Biden said they are going to try and withdraw US citizens from Afghanistan before the original deadline of August 31.
“If we don’t, we’ll determine at the time who’s left and if there’s American citizens, we’re gonna stay and get them all out,” he added.
Congresswoman Taylor Greene revealed at midnight that she will be filing articles of impeachment against Biden in response to his handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Taylor Greene said: “Joe Biden, you are not a president. You are a piece of sh*t.
“Thousands of Americans are stuck over there in Afghanistan and you are letting the Taliban kick your a** while you are lecturing governors about masks and vaccines.”
A full transcript of Biden’s interview with Stephanopoulos revealed that ABC News edited out chunks, removing “mumbled statements and lapses of memory.”
Biden claimed his son, Beau, who died of a brain tumor in 2015, to have served in Afghanistan before correcting himself and saying it was Iraq.
He also said Beau was in the Navy, when he was actually in the Army, again correcting himself.
Fox News Host, Tucker Carlson said on Thursday evening: “Toward the end of his interview with ABC there was a telling exchange.”
“That exchange was never broadcast on camera
‘Now television networks edit interviews very often for time.
“But ABC News appears to have edited out portions that made Joe Biden look – how to put it. Not presidential. Incoherent. Confused.”
When Stephanopoulos asked why the US could not have respectfully withdrawn Afghanistan, the transcript of the interview revealed Biden’s response:
‘Look, that’s like askin’ my deceased son Beau, who spent six months in Kosovo and a year in Iraq as a Navy captain and then major– I mean, as an Army major,’ Biden said.
‘And, you know, I’m sure h– he had regrets comin’ out of Afganista– I mean, out of Iraq.
‘He had regrets to what’s– how– how it’s going. But the idea– what’s the alternative? The alternative is why are we staying in Afghanistan? Why are we there?’
Biden is scheduled to speak on Afghan evacuation efforts on Friday.
