On April 23, 2018, the U.S. Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs postponed a hearing on his nomination after current and former employees on the White House medical staff accused Jackson of creating a hostile work environment, excessively drinking on the job, and improperly dispensing medication. Senator Jon Tester told CNN on April 24 that Jackson was known as "the candy man" inside the White House, according to around 20 people who brought these concerns to the Veterans' Affairs Senate Committee. He would allegedly hand out Ambien, Provigil, and other prescription drugs "like they were candy".
When the attack on Jackson began there were rumors Jackson was passing out drugs in the White house and on Air Force One flights during the Obama administration.
Since Jackson was Obamas' physician he should have only been prescribing drugs for Obama.
If true who was Jackson giving drugs to in the White House and on Air Force One other than Obama? The crew? White House staff? Members of the media?
Isolation of White House Medical Unit Hid Ronny Jackson From Scrutiny
I think Ronnie got the Kavanaugh treatment by dims who didn’t want him to be the Secretary of the VA. Imo. I can’t prove it though. There is supposed to be a DOD investigation into this. I haven’t heard anything about it and wonder how it’s going.
Stop being so NAIVE! Makes us look not ready for primetime.
...rumors...

They went after Dr. Jackson like a rabid pack of wolves when he gave DJT a clean bill of health and praised his stamina.
It was a smear tactic.
“Passed out pills”?
Like the privileged were able to get small, short term scripts for documented conditions from the company house doc? And this took place during nomination hearings?
Yeah, right, I believe progs and their biological megaphones./s
IIRC, POTUS even tweeted about this attack on Jackson.
Seriously, that crap was a hit job by Tester, with zero proof from anyone. Simply people said. Stop bringing up old crap that no value just to cause issues. That stuff belongs on HuffPost or some other liberal site, not here.
Right...
