Both picks were bound to be inflammatory:

Perry’s phone was seized by the FBI as part of its Jan. 6 probe, while Jackson has faced allegations of drinking on duty and harassing staff when he was the White House physician.

Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.), a Democratic member of the panel, sent Johnson a letter earlier this week urging him to reverse the appointments.

    Rep. Ami Bera (D-Calif.) said he will give Jackson “the benefit of the doubt, because I know him very well”

    It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.

    This is the guy who was drunk at work handing out pills left and right and lied obviously about the health of Trump to curry favor.

    And this Dem isn’t going to object to him viewing and making decisions about top secret information because they’re fucking buddies! 🤦

        The one single Dem who knows full well how awful Ronnie Jackson is and doesn’t have any party whip pressure but STILL lets him off the hook because of cronyism?

        Yeah, let’s blame that guy and others for their dereliction of duty when it comes to opposing this absolutely absurd appointment.
