Ronny Jackson is a U.S. Congressman from Texas. He was also the White House doctor and Trump’s nominee to run the VA, a nomination that he withdrew from after revelations of his years of abuse of alcohol and the hostile work environment he created for his suborndinates.
In one incident he got drunk while on an overseas trip and began banging on a woman’s door in the middle of the night saying ‘I need you,’ something witnessed by four people. The Secret Service intervened, pulling him away. He made sexual and degrading comments to women. He bullied his staff.
The Inspector General’s office found evidence that he acted inappropriately with staff and was drunk on overseas trips. Nonetheless, in spite of this he was elected to Congress.
