GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson cursed out police as they body slammed him into the ground while the former emergency room doctor tried to assist a girl who was seizing at a Texas rodeo, newly released footage revealed.
‘You are a f***ing full-on d**k!’ the Texas Republican told an officer who slammed him to the ground. ‘You better recalculate motherf***er!’
Jackson, who cared for Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump in the White House, had stepped in to assist the teenage girl who was going through a medical episode.
The state trooper, identified as Officer Young, told Jackson multiple people had asked him to step aside while EMS took over. Jackson continued to shout at Young and was restrained by two other people as he stepped toward the trooper.
Jackson then threatened to call Gov. Greg Abbott about the incident.
‘I’m gonna call the governor tomorrow and I’m gonna talk to him about this s*** because this is f***in’ ridiculous,’ Jackson exclaimed. ‘F***in’ ridiculous.’
‘I asked you to get back and you did not get back,’ the officer said. Jackson later replied that he was ‘just trying to help’ and denied hearing anyone tell him to get back.
Jackson said in a series of tweets Monday night that he was glad the body camera footage had been made public and he would not apologize for his actions.
‘I’m glad the video is out. It shows the incompetence of the authorities and their complete disregard for the young girl in distress,’ he posted on X, formerly Twitter. ‘We have the best Sheriffs in the country here in the panhandle and north Texas. Unfortunately, the Sheriff in Carson County is not among them.
‘I will apologize for my language, but I will not apologize for getting upset & speaking my mind considering the circumstances.
‘If I had to do it again, I would still step up & act in a life-threatening situation. I will ALWAYS help someone in need. I WILL NOT apologize for that.’
‘I know you’re there to help, right? But I got EMS coming on scene,’ Young said to Jackson at one point. ‘I said, “Hey, we got a car coming.” Multiple people moved out the way. You came down on your knees and somebody was trying to put something in her mouth that didn’t need to be. We asked not to, right?’
He was referring to Jackson putting a gumball in the 15-year-old’s mouth as a way to elevate her blood sugar – which Jackson informed Young he did because she may have been hypoglycemic.
Young said the girl was anemic and Jackson told Young he did not have the medical knowledge to know that.
After the confrontation, bystanders can be heard asking who Jackson is. ‘Someone said he’s a senator,’ said one. Young did not appear to be familiar with Jackson.
Two bystanders, Chris and Jodi Jordan, told the Associated Press they were ‘appalled’ by the incident.
‘We were just appalled,’ said Chris Jordan, 48. ‘The slamming to the ground I didn’t understand whatsoever.’
Jackson was first elected in 2020 and is a staunch supporter of former President Trump.
It said the girl was seizing, if that was the case why would anyone put a gumball in the mouth where she could possibly choke? That didn’t make sense to me. And he’s a doctor? May God Bless
