WASHINGTON – Amarillo congressman Ronny Jackson threatened to beat a state trooper and “bury” a West Texas sheriff in the next election after deputies pushed him to the ground and handcuffed him at a rodeo, according to a sheriff’s incident report released Friday night.

Jackson, a former White House physician and retired rear admiral, portrayed himself afterwards as the victim of overzealous officers who didn’t realize he was trying to put his medical expertise to use helping a teenager who was having a seizure.

The report on the July 29 incident from Carson County Sheriff Tam Terry portrays Jackson as belligerent and uncooperative.

It says that deputies asked Jackson to step back at least four times before they detained him, and he had also ignored the state trooper’s order to step back to let emergency responders help the girl.

He was drunk and still no consequences.

1. is he the nut that gave the press conference about how incredibly healthy and fit drumpf was?

that was one of the most bizarre things i'd ever seen. he sounded like a tween girl at a boy band concert, not a doctor. to say nothing of the fact that he didn't represent his patient very well by lying and saying he was an Adonis when in fact he was a man in his 70s with several health problems and horrible eating habits.

6. Yes, the one that said he could live to 200.

The way he’s looking these days 200 DAYS might be a stretch!

14. And facing 200 years in prison

2. A total embarrassment to the Naval Uniform I proudly wore for many years

I can imagine the conversation about him in wardrooms populated by Senior Naval Officers. Disgrace is a start.

Jackson to trump, oh mr president you weigh 180 and are the fittest human alive. This from a health care professional

5. drunk or under some influence, that they thought he was-

8. They also dropped charges for Texas State Senator Charles Schwertner of Georgetown

Texas GOP is above the law - no doubt about it.

https://www.texastribune.org/2023/07/18/texas-charles-schwertner-senate-dwi/

"Schwertner was arrested around 12:45 a.m. on Feb. 7 after an Austin police officer reported a black Cadillac, driven by Schwertner, was “swerving to the right and the left and split the two lanes repeatedly,” according to a probable cause affidavit.

The morning of Schwertner’s arrest, the officer followed the senator’s car and saw it continue to swerve between lanes, the affidavit said. The officer stopped the car and the driver identified himself as Schwertner."

Schwertner, 52, has faced other scandals in the past. In 2018, he was accused of sending sexually explicit photos of his genitals to a graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin. He denied the allegations, saying that someone else sent the messages using his LinkedIn account and another privacy phone messaging app that belongs to him.

9. Didn't he pass out Ambien like M&Ms

10. And here is my opportunity to add something I found out about old Ronny

Thanks to DUer Effete Snob for showing me how to look this up: https://democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=18167013

Ronny Jackson hasn't filed a Financial Disclosure form for two years:

Also note. Ronny used campaign funds to pay for membership to a private Amarillo club. I think(?) the House Committee on Ethics is still reviewing this case

He may live in his district now but he sure as hell didn't before he decided to run for congress

15. Don't kink shame if he wants to be cuffed by cowboys at a rodeo

[TheBlackAdder]

18. It doesn't take a doctorate to know it's tougher to beat someone after the handcuffs go on. 😐

[LetMyPeopleVote]

19. Although Ronny denies it, the Sheriff said he had been drinking.

[moonshinegnomie]

24. not the first time he's had issues with booze

22. Bumping this because, wow

From the Texas Tribune: https://www.texastribune.org/2023/08/11/ronny-jackson-rodeo-altercation/

...Young ordered Jackson to step back and moved him back. According to Deputy Alexander, Jackson pointed to Young and said, “I’m going to beat that mother fuckers’ ass!”

The congressman later told Terry that in his attempt to care for the patient, he thought it was safe to put a gumball in the patient’s mouth as a way to elevate her blood sugar. But in an exchange included in the report between Terry and White Deer EMS provider Kimberly Thomas, Thomas says that the gum presents a choking hazard to patients having a seizure, and that most gum is sugar free and thus would not address low blood sugar.

Due to Jackson’s extremely agitated state, in which he continued to yell profanities, deputies brought him to the ground and placed the congressman in handcuffs, according to the report. Officers then escorted Jackson out of the rodeo grounds and removed the handcuffs, while he continued to scream profanities at Trooper Young. After the congressman was released, his wife, Jane Jackson, approached the deputies and demanded their information before their group got into a Black SUV and left the scene...

wow. w o w. wowww

26. A GUMBALL?????

Why didn’t he just pinch his nose and mouth and wait until the patient turned purple…? A gumball is EXACTLY what you DON’T put in a patient’s mouth. 🫢🫣🙄😱🤬

23. When all the players in TFG coverup BS is out, this turd is down with the rest, tick tock!
