The White House is mocking Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, for reiterating his demand that President Biden sit for a cognitive exam.<\/p>\n

Jackson told reporters on Wednesday that he\u2019s making his fifth attempt at pressuring Biden to prove his mental fitness for office.<\/p>\n

Asked about Jackson\u2019s comments by Fox News Digital, White House spokesman Andrew Bates replied: \u2018Hi, Dr. Nick!\u2019<\/p>\n

Attached was a photo of a character from \u2018The Simpsons\u2019 named Dr. Nick Riviera, a physician whose running gag in the cartoon is about his questionable medical practices and maiming of patients.<\/p>\n

Jackson, a medical doctor who formerly served as the White House physician, slammed the White House for making light of the situation.<\/p>\n

\u2018Even Dr. Nick knows something is wrong with President Biden,\u2019 Jackson said in a statement to Fox News Digital. \u2018The American people are legitimately concerned and the clowns in the Biden administration think this is a joke. This is not a joke.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Rather than administer a cognitive test or coming up with legitimate answers to Biden\u2019s apparent cognitive decline, the clowns inside the White House are sending cartoon memes to address a concern they know is real,\u2019 he said. \u2018Nearly 80 percent of Americans are concerned about Biden\u2019s physical and mental health, and 73 percent of Democrats feel he is too old or unfit for another term.\u2019<\/p>\n

Jackson said earlier during a Wednesday press conference that he was sending a letter directly to the president as well as every member of his Cabinet.<\/p>\n

\u2018We are going to continue to make this an issue. I will be introducing another letter today. This will be the fifth letter that I\u2019ve introduced that I\u2019ve sent to the president,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Jackson pointed out that former President Donald Trump took a cognitive exam when he was in the White House after mounting questions about his mental state in the media.<\/p>\n

\u2018I would like to see that same type of enthusiasm and insistence from the press right now, that President Biden submit to a cognitive exam as part of his physical exam,\u2019 Jackson said. \u2018And if he thinks he\u2019s fit to lead this country, prove it to us with some objective data that says so.\u2019<\/p>\n

It comes as Biden\u2019s critics continue to seize on a recent report by Special Counsel Robert Hur regarding the president\u2019s handling of classified documents before he took office.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hur\u2019s 388-page report cleared President Biden of wrongdoing despite having \u2018willfully retained and disclosed classified materials.\u2019<\/p>\n

Hur said Biden came off \u2018as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory\u2019 and that \u2018it would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him-by then a former president well into his eighties-of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.\u2019<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters that Biden would not be taking a cognitive test as part of his regular physical exam.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
