Republican ridiculed for introducing bill to police whether Biden takes drugs for debate
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) told Newsmax on Wednesday that he is introducing a "No Juicing Joe" bill, just one day before the CNN debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump is set to take place.
The legislation, in his own words, would compel Biden "to divulge, to report to the American people, every time he takes a mind-altering stimulant like he's gonna have to do before the debate. They're gonna have him juiced up and jacked up" — a reference to an ongoing baseless conspiracy theory being promoted by Trump and some of his allies that Biden is being given some type of stimulants before public appearances to maintain his focus and mask a mental deficiency.
Commenters on social media had a field day with this legislation from Ogles, a controversial first-term lawmaker who has been accused of falsifying much of his life story on the campaign trail, has faced investigation over discrepancies in his financial disclosures, and has suggested that the proper way to handle political unrest with the Palestinians is to "kill 'em all."

"Completely unserious politician!" wrote the account @mrhenderson95.
"Hey @RepOgles: Who raised you, you disrespectful little a--hole? Why don’t you just F--- All the Way Off," wrote the account @the_resistor.
"He is 10 Billion % wrong. When someone is on drugs there are all kinds of signs that they are so. I’ve never seen Joe Biden display any side effects of drugs. Maybe a tic-tac but that’s it," wrote the account @AreMond2.
"Still waiting for them to do something for all Americans instead of chasing unfounded crap," wrote the account @TheWarMonitor.
"So when Biden doesn’t actually take any drugs, then Ogles will just be on Newsmax whining about it every night," wrote the account @franklinisbored.
