Admiral Ronny Jackson withdrew his name from consideration as the next Secretary of Veterans' Affairs. That's sad. It's not sad because Jackson was uniquely qualified to be the VA Secretary or because he had great ideas for improving the VA. We don't know that. No, it's sad because Jackson was the victim of a major and evidenceless attack by the mainstream media and the Democrats. It didn't matter what claim was made, the media touted it without any evidence in support.
Think about it. The media and the congressional Democrats told us that Jackson is accused of having destroyed a federal vehicle he drove while drunk. Is that true? Jackson says it isn't, but that didn't stop the media/Democrats from screaming about it. Remember, Jackson has been vetted by an FBI background check on four different occasions. That happened once in the Bush presidency, twice under Obama and once under Trump. These were not partisan reviews by the FBI since the job was to be the White House doctor, not a political post. So we are now supposed to believe that Dr. Jackson destroyed a vehicle while drunk driving but the FBI never picked that up. It's very hard to cover up a DUI from the FBI. That would be true even with someone like Jim Comey as the director. If the story were true, the FBI and the White House would know.
Then there's the "candy man" story. During international trips aboard Air Force One, Jackson supposedly gave White House staff and reporters on board sleeping pills so that they could actually sleep on the trip and be ready to work once they got to their destination. That is not, however, some doctor giving out opioids or other drugs of that sort. It is a White House doctor doing what the White House doctors have done for decades. It's not a reason why Jackson should be attacked. My suggestion, by the way, is that in the future the White House doctor should NOT give any drugs to reporters. Let them figure out a way to sleep themselves if they are going to use the events to attack the White House doctor.
Then there's an IG report from 2012. At the time, the IG criticized Jackson and another head of the White House medical staff due to conflicts between them which affected the staff performance. The other guy was dumped and everything went back to operating fine. President Obama wrote personal fitness reports for Dr. Jackson after that and praised him highly. It seems the problem was with the other guy and not Jackson. That doesn't matter; the media is telling us how bad it was.
So we are left with a nominee who gets hit with charges but no evidence. It's much like the Russia-Trump investigation. There are plenty of charges of collusion, but there is no evidence at all. Jackson dropped out. We will never know if he would have done a good job. What we do know, however, is that in the future no one will easily accept a nomination knowing what lies ahead from the media/Democrat creeps.
