'You don't owe this guy': RonnyJacksonTX turned to dbongino after Obama email
Rep. Ronny Jackson opened up about how he felt after being"scolded" by former President Barack Obama upon questioning Joe Biden's cognitive health and whom he turned to for guidance in a moment of uncertainty.
Jackson, who was a physician for three presidents, including Obama, before being elected to Congress, shared his experience with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday as he expounded on his forthcoming memoir, Holding the Line: A Lifetime of Defending Democracy and American Values. Reports about the book revealed that Obama sent Jackson a scathing email after Jackson posted a tweet in 2020 suggesting Biden should take a cognitive test.
"I had mixed emotions about it. It was kind of a combination between being a little pissed off and being angry about it and having my feelings hurt just a little bit," Jackson said on Sunday Morning Futures.In his book, as reported by Fox News, Jackson described receiving an email from Obama expressing disappointment in his “unprofessional” conduct for the “cheap shot you took at Joe Biden," who was Obama's vice president.
“I have made a point of not commenting on your service in my successor’s administration and have always spoken highly of you both in public and in private,” Obama wrote to Jackson. “It was unprofessional and beneath the office that you once held. It was also disrespectful to me and the many friends you had in our administration. You were the personal physician to the President of the United States as well as an admiral in the U.S. Navy.
"Dan talked to me a little bit. He said, 'Ronny, you don't owe this guy anything. Don't even respond to this. This is a load of crap,'" Jackson said. Jackson noted that he thought about replying to the email or calling Obama but decided not to follow through on either one, following Bongino's lead.
