The former White House physician under then-Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump is growing increasingly concerned about President Joe Biden.

Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), who has frequently opined that he believes Biden’s mental status has deteriorated since before he took office, sounded the alarm anew on Sunday.

Jackson, in an interview with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo, was asked to assess “the mental capacity of President Biden.”

“You know, it’s continued to get worse since he was candidate Joe Biden,” Jackson said.

“When I first started talking about this, the American people have continued to have questions about a lot of his bizarre behaviors, this holding hands thing is one of them, the way he makes up stories, and he just repeatedly tells the stories that everyone has documented are not true, that happens pretty frequently,” he noted.

“He has these emotional outbursts. He shuffles when he walks. He slurs his speech. He always looks frail and fragile. I just think it’s continued to get worse and worse,” Jackson noted further.

Biden will turn 80 in November.

“And I think that now the Democrats and the mainstream media now are starting to say, ‘we can’t ignore this a whole lot longer,’” Jackson continued. “At some point or another, we’re going to have to address this, we’re going to have to explain to the American people what’s going on, you know, I have to ask them multiple times to see his complete medical record for the American people to see it, for him to do cognitive tests.”

Jackson wrote in a tweet accompanying a clip of his interview with Bartiromo: “Joe Biden’s behavior is getting more and more bizarre. His cognitive decline is on full display, and it’s only getting worse. He needs to take a cognitive exam immediately or leave office. EVERYONE knows something’s wrong!”

Jackson said back in January that he believes Biden is suffering a cognitive decline and should be tested immediately.

“I think he’s demonstrating every single day that there is something going on,” he said to Fox News on Saturday.

“You don’t need to be a physician to look at this behavior and see there’s something concerning happening,” he said. “He’s just not aging gracefully at this point.”

“You can go back – there’s forty years of tape of this man – he’s always made gaffes and stuff but these are different, he’s confused, he’s disoriented,” he said.

“We all know people who are 100-years old, who basically are as sharp as a tack, and we know people who are in their mid-60’s that having some cognitive difficulties…and I think he’s on that end of the spectrum,” he said.

“I’m just asking them, when you do the physical exam include the cognitive assessment,” the representative said.. “As far as I’m concerned the standard precedent has been set and they need to follow and do the same.”

When the mainstream media was questioning Donald Trump’s mental cognition he acquiesced and took the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) which is a 30 point exam that tests for memory impairment, Fox News reported.

“The far left and the mainstream media were demanding that be the new standard for anybody who’s going to lead our country and be our Commander-in-Chief and our head of state,” he said. “I’m just saying I agree with them at this point — we need to get it done.”

During a July interview with Bartiromo, Jackson was asked if he believes Biden is actually in charge of the Executive Branch.

“Well, that’s the big question everybody’s asking, who’s really pulling the strings, who’s running the country right now? We don’t know the answer to that. We don’t know if it’s Susan Rice or Ron Klain or if it’s Joe Biden or who it is, but somebody else is doing this. They’re doing exactly what you said, they’re rolling him out at specific times during the day, he’s got good days and bad days,” Jackson began.

“And whether or not they have him on drugs, I don’t know. There are drugs out that that can increase your alertness and your memory and things of that nature, you know, cover stuff like this up temporarily. So, I’m sure some of that is going on as well, but we don’t know because his physician hasn’t stood up and took the questions that I took when I was Trump’s physician and answered those questions,” he added.
