“If you go back and look at the video from when he was first vice president and compare it to now, it’s not even the same person,” Jackson added. “He’s got some serious problems. I’ve been saying that for a long time. Now the report is saying that — the special counsel’s report is coming out and it’s just that. That’s the special counsel appointed by the Biden Justice Department, and they’re saying the same thing that I and many Americans have been saying for a long time. ”

“That’s why I have to express my disappointment in the cheap attack you made against Joe Biden via Twitter. It was unprofessional and below the office you once held. You were also disrespectful to me and the many friends you had in our administration. “He was the personal physician to the President of the United States and an admiral in the United States Navy. I expected better. And now that I think about it, I hope you expect more from yourself in the future.”
