Former White House physician and Republican Texas Representative Ronny Jackson recently shared some startling allegations about Dr. Kevin O’Connor, President Biden’s former physician. During his tenure as Director of the White House Medical Unit, Jackson oversaw O’Connor’s evaluations and fitness reports. Jackson claims that he considered dismissing O’Connor for multiple reasons, including alleged inappropriate sexual behavior.
Jackson accused O’Connor of engaging in childish and inappropriate pranks, such as placing other people’s phones down his pants. Additionally, Jackson alleged that O’Connor made sexually inappropriate comments, which disturbed female coworkers. Despite these concerns, Jackson did not specify when or where these incidents occurred or identify the women involved.
Jackson explained his reluctance to fire O’Connor, saying it would have been an exercise in futility. His reasoning was that any attempt to remove O’Connor would likely result in a phone call from President Obama. According to Jackson, he was warned that Biden would be upset and insist on O’Connor’s return.
The atmosphere in the White House was described as one that tolerated O’Connor’s behavior. Jackson stated, “It was something we had to deal with.” This environment seemingly allowed O’Connor’s antics to continue unchecked.
Jackson recounted witnessing O’Connor’s behavior on several occasions. He described the phone prank as something akin to a 12-year-old’s idea of humor. The reaction from those involved was often one of astonishment and confusion.
Jackson emphasized the need for a full investigation into what he described as a “Biden cognitive cover-up.” He raised concerns about who was effectively running the country. Jackson suggested that someone else may have been managing affairs while the President was not mentally fit.
The allegations include that O’Connor’s behavior was not just immature but also offensive. Jackson noted that inappropriate jokes were a regular occurrence. He believed these actions to be in poor taste and unprofessional.
There was a perception that the Bidens found O’Connor’s antics amusing. Jackson mentioned that some in Biden’s office shared this sense of humor. He speculated that Biden might have been “cut from the same cloth.”
As an active-duty military officer, Jackson held O’Connor’s actions to a higher standard. He pointed out that such behavior would be deemed highly inappropriate in the military. Jackson believed that O’Connor’s status as an Army colonel should have demanded better conduct.
Jackson never received a direct order from Obama preventing O’Connor’s dismissal. However, he assumed that firing O’Connor would not be permitted. Jackson believed that reinstating O’Connor would be demanded if removed.
Jackson served as Director of the White House Medical Unit under both President Obama and President Trump. He reflected on his time working with O’Connor, noting that O’Connor was Vice President Biden’s doctor. Jackson claimed O’Connor was “borderline competent” but protected by the Biden administration.
Jackson suggested that if he had fired O’Connor, the vice president might have intervened. He speculated that Biden would have contacted senior staff to reverse the decision. The assumption was that the situation would be quickly rectified to maintain O’Connor’s role.
Dr. Kevin O’Connor’s background includes working for Jackson during the Bush administration. Jackson was called back to the U.S. from Iraq to join the WHMU. His service continued as physician to the President until 2018.
The Daily Caller reached out to O’Connor and his attorneys for comment on these allegations. At the time of publication, there was no response. The situation remains unresolved, with questions still unanswered.
