Rep. Jackson alleges misconduct by Biden’s former doctor
Shocking claims rocked Washington as Rep. Ronny Jackson accused Dr. Kevin O’Connor, President Biden’s former physician, of sexual misconduct at the White House.
Jackson, a Texas Republican and former White House physician, told the Daily Caller that O’Connor engaged in inappropriate behavior, including crude pranks and comments that unsettled female coworkers, the Daily Caller reported. Yet, without specific dates or named victims, the claims lack concrete footing.
Jackson, who served as director of the White House Medical Unit from 2013 to 2018, oversaw O’Connor’s evaluations. He considered dismissing O’Connor, an Army colonel, for his alleged antics. But Jackson held back, citing O’Connor’s protection by then-Vice President Joe Biden.
Pranks and Protection Under Fire
Among the accusations, Jackson described O’Connor’s juvenile pranks, like placing colleagues’ phones near his groin and handing them back. “He thought that was hilarious,” Jackson said, noting the astonishment of onlookers. Such behavior, if true, mocks the professionalism expected in the White House.
O’Connor’s alleged comments, often disguised as jokes, reportedly offended female staffers. Jackson called them “in very bad taste,” a sentiment that underscores a workplace failing its employees. Yet, some in Biden’s office, per Jackson, found O’Connor’s antics “hilarious.”
Both Jackson and O’Connor were active-duty military officers, making the alleged conduct even more jarring. “The military would have deemed [it] highly inappropriate,” Jackson emphasized. This raises questions about accountability in elite government circles.
Biden’s Shield and Obama’s Shadow
Jackson believed firing O’Connor would be futile. “I would be immediately getting a phone call from President Obama,” he speculated, assuming Biden’s influence would reverse any dismissal. This perceived favoritism hints at a deeper loyalty shielding O’Connor.
No direct order from Obama ever came, Jackson admitted. Still, he assumed Biden’s clout would protect O’Connor, a belief that kept Jackson from acting. It’s a classic case of power dynamics trumping accountability—or so Jackson claims.
Jackson’s tenure as director spanned the Obama and Trump administrations, giving him a front-row seat to White House operations. Called back from Iraq to join the unit under President George W. Bush, his experience lends weight to his accusations. But without corroboration, they risk being dismissed as political sniping.
Whistleblowers and Social Media Claims
On May 22, 2025, Jackson took to X, calling O’Connor “borderline competent” and protected by the Biden family. He doubled down on June 1, claiming whistleblowers confirmed O’Connor and Democrats knew Biden was cognitively unfit. These posts, while explosive, lack the evidence to fully ignite.
The Daily Caller sought comment from O’Connor and his attorneys but received no response. Silence often speaks louder than words, but it leaves the story one-sided. O’Connor’s side remains untold, a gap that weakens the narrative.
Jackson’s decision not to fire O’Connor, despite his authority, raises eyebrows. He called it “an exercise in futility,” a phrase that smells of resignation. If the allegations are true, his inaction allowed a toxic environment to fester.
A Call for Accountability
The lack of specific dates or named victims hampers Jackson’s claims. Without these, the accusations float in a haze of ambiguity, easy to dismiss as partisan noise. Still, the mere suggestion of misconduct demands scrutiny.
Jackson’s military background frames O’Connor’s alleged behavior as a betrayal of duty. For an Army colonel to act like a “12-year-old boy,” as Jackson put it, mocks the honor of service. The White House deserves better.
These allegations, if substantiated, expose a troubling culture under Biden’s watch. Jackson’s claims may be politically charged, but they remind us that power can’t shield bad behavior forever. Actions, as always, have consequences.
