GOP Rep: Biden Was 'Jacked Up' On Drugs For Speech But Will 'Falter' In Debates
HuffPost
Rep. Greg Murphy said "pharmacology" has helped Biden be "manufactured and puppeteered ... to be president."
Rep. Greg Murphy (R-N.C.) baselessly suggested that President Joe Biden was “jacked up” on drugs for his State of the Union speech ― and predicted that the “pharmacology” aided incumbent will “falter” in debates against Donald Trump. (Watch the video below.)
Biden and Trump are set to debate each other June 27 on CNN and Sept. 10 on ABC after Biden challenged the Republican candidate in a video Wednesday. The two appear headed for a general election rematch in November.
“How do these debates play out?” Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo asked Murphy on Thursday.
Murphy immediately jumped on unproven allegations, repeated multiple times by Trump, that Biden was on a stimulant of some sort during his energetic address to Congress back in March. Trump even demanded drug testing for any potential debate earlier this year.
“I’ll just be very plain and simple,” said Murphy, a urologist and co-chair of the House GOP Doctors Caucus. “I was in the State of the Union address, and Joe Biden must’ve been jacked up on something that day. I absolutely believe that from a medical viewpoint, and actually have a little bit of good knowledge that that happened. He can’t stand it. He can’t stand under the lights for that long, and I don’t think he can keep a concept in his brain that long.”
"Let's calm down," the CNN anchor had to repeatedly tell the top Trump White House adviser after he started shouting live on air.
