CHARLESTON, S.C. — Presidential candidate Nikki Haley has long called for politicians to take mental competency tests as a transparency measure to show they are capable of handling the demanding job of being president.
In her presidential announcement speech, Haley declared: "In the America I see, the permanent politician will finally retire. We'll have term limits for Congress and mandatory mental competency tests for politicians over 75 years old."
Today, after glaring revelations about Joe Biden's memory and acuity, Haley re-upped her call for Joe Biden to take a mental competency test and be transparent with the American people.
"Joe Biden can't remember major events in his life, like when he was vice president or when his son died," Nikki Haley said. "That is sad, but it will be even sadder if we have a person in the White House who is not mentally up to the most important job in the world. Joe Biden should take a mental competency test immediately, and it should be shared with the public."
