Bob Unruh wrote in a Sept. 4 WorldNetDaily article:
It’s been three years since a “politically motivated investigation” by the Joe Biden administration resulted in a reduced rank for Ronny Jackson, a former White House physician who held the rank of admiral.
Now he’s back at that rank, obliterating the Biden regime’s attempt to reduce his rank for all of his retirement to captain.
[…]There were anonymous claims he misbehaved while White House physician, and when a Department of Defense investigation failed to substantiate any offense, the Biden administration had the inspector general reissue the report with a different conclusion.
Jackson explained, “If I had retired and not gotten into politics, this investigation would have never gone anywhere. This was happening because I am a perceived threat to the Biden administration and because a few political appointees in the Department of Defense want to make a name for themselves.”
In fact, the claims against Jackson were quite substantiated. As a more credible media outlet reported about the Department of Defense inspector general’s investigation into Jackson:
The internal investigation concluded that Jackson made “sexual and denigrating” comments about a female subordinate, violated the policy on drinking alcohol on a presidential trip and took prescription-strength sleeping medication that prompted worries from his colleagues about his ability to provide proper medical care.
[…]After interviewing 78 witnesses and reviewing a host of White House documents, investigators concluded that Jackson, who achieved the rank of rear admiral, failed to treat his subordinates with dignity and respect. They also highlighted incidents of inappropriate behavior on at least two international presidential trips.
The report also said the investigation into Jackson “was limited in scope and unproductive” as Trump’s White House counsel insisted on being present at all interviews, which had a “potential chilling effect” on the probe.
Neither Unruh nor Jackson disputed any of those facts. Unruh went on to cheer in a related military matter:
Further, the military also has granted military honors to Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed protester at the January 6, 2021, events at the U.S. Capital, who was shot at point blank range and killed by a security officer there at the time.
[…]The Biden administration had denied that to her family.
But government watchdog Judicial Watch said a letter from Under Secretary of the Air Force Matthew Lohmeier extends an offer to allow the special funeral procedures to take place.
The letter said the circumstances of the situation were reviewed and Biden’s determination “was incorrect.”
Unruh did not state what was purportedly “incorrect” about the decision to deny military honors to a domestic terrorist.
