Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) shared his thoughts on President Joe Biden’s upcoming debate with Donald Trump during an interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo on Tuesday. Burlison speculated that Biden might be “jacked” up on something like Mountain Dew for the debate, drawing a comparison to how elderly dementia patients can sometimes experience moments of clarity.
Bartiromo referenced comments made by GOP congressman Ronny Jackson, suggesting Biden could be undergoing medication adjustments ahead of the debate during his week-long stay at Camp David.
“Yeah, you know, elderly individuals or those with dementia can have moments where they exhibit clarity and energy throughout the day,” Burlison responded, with some hesitation.
He continued, “I believe Trump’s team shouldn’t underestimate Biden and his team’s preparation. Whether they’re boosting him with Mountain Dew or some other method, similar to how he showed considerable energy during this year’s State of the Union address for about an hour or so.”
“And I that I think that we should, Trump’s team should not underestimate Joe Biden and his team’s ability to, you know, whether they’re going to, jack him up on Mountain Dew or whatever it is that it took, the state of the Union this year, he had a lot of energy for about an hour – an hour or an hour and a half,” concluded the Republican congressman.
