‘We Have No Idea’: Republican Congressman Shut Down By Fox’s Maria Bartiromo Over Wild Biden Speculation
Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo urged caution Sunday when two Republican members of Congress suggested that President Joe Biden was “jacked up” on drugs during his State of the Union address.
On Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures, Bartiromo asked Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), “So, what did you see when you were at the State of the Union? You heard what your colleague Greg Murphy said — he’s the head of the Doctors Caucus. He says, quote, ‘President Biden was jacked up.’ Now you’ve got President Trump saying he wants drug testing. Should there be drug testing before these debates?”
“Maria, I’ll tell you, I absolutely agree with that, there should,” Donalds said. “You could tell that when Joe Biden comes in, he’s jacked up, and then, as the hour goes by, he slowly winds down. So the American people need to understand if they’re giving him some injection so that he can actually look like he’s coherent and he’s with us, because the other parts of the time he’s not. This is why we want to get the Hur tapes, because, obviously, during that session with Robert Hur, things did not go well. The American people need to understand what is the true mental capacity of Joe Biden.”
Bartiromo said, “Well, I just want to say, look. These are obviously very serious charges, that he’s jacked up. We don’t know that, we’re not doctors. We have no idea. Now, the GOP Doctors Caucus chairman did say, ‘I have experienced this, and I know this for sure.’ But, I mean, how are you going to know? So, you’re saying, yes, we should have drug testing.”
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) said, “Maria, I think that we need to. I think that we need to, you know, we’re talking about someone who has the ability to launch nukes and, frankly…the reason we’re fighting so hard to hear these actual audio of the president during his interview is because we need to make sure that this individual is essentially capable, not just of lading this country, but he can make those tough decisions. And, frankly, I’m not trying to be funny here, we don’t necessarily trust that he can do that right now.
Congress threatened contempt charges against Attorney General Merrick Garland after Biden asserted executive privilege over the audio recordings with special counsel Robert Hur. Hut interviewed Biden as part of the investigation into his handling of classified documents.
