During an overseas trip in 2015, Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson, the White House physician, was intoxicated and banged on the hotel room door of a female employee, according to four sources familiar with the allegation.
Two sources who previously worked in the White House Medical Unit described the same incident, with one former staffer telling CNN that it was "definitely inappropriate, in the middle of the night," and that it made the woman uncomfortable.

(3,335 posts)If so, that report would either confirm or refute the accusations, so there shouldn't be any doubt one way or the other.
When I first heard the story on Rachal Maddow's show, they said that he was part of about 30 doctors and nurses that worked at the White House and were responsible for providing medical care for the president. I immediately thought what do 30 doctors and nurses do during the time when they are not providing medical care to the president. I guess we know now; they play a lot of drinking games to past the time.

(42,767 posts)Jackson is utterly unqualified for the VA Secretary's position.
But it's a bit strange that these stories about his behavior during the Obama administration are coming out now. Why were folks silent back in 2015 and earlier?
