Ronny Jackson report vindicates past concerns over Cabinet nomination, Jon Tester says

A senator who helped scuttle the 2018 nomination of Ronny Jackson to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs says a new report offering extensive details of unprofessional conduct by the former White House physician and now Texas congressman shows why he deserved to be rejected for the Cabinet post.

“I don’t want to re-litigate what happened three years ago, but the truth is, if you read that report, that’s exactly why we did what we did when we did it,” Sen. Jon Tester, a Montana Democrat, told the Washington Examiner on Wednesday after the release of an inspector general report that found that during his time as the top White House physician, now-Rep. Ronny Jackson drank on the job and made inappropriate comments to staffers.
