A House Republican is claiming to have evidence President Joe Biden was “under the influence” during his State of the Union address.
Rep. Greg Murphy (R-N.C.) appeared on Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo’s show Thursday when he made the explosive claim.
“I’ll just be very plain and simple. I was at the State of the Union address and Joe Biden must have been jacked up on something that day,” Murphy said.
He continued, “I absolutely believe that from a medical viewpoint and have a good bit of knowledge that happened. He can’t stand and he can’t stand under the lights for that long and I don’t think he can keep a concept in his brain that long.”
The Republican lawmaker then tried to pivot to offering advice to former President Donald Trump about how to debate Biden, such as encouraging him to “act presidential.” He also claimed Biden will “falter” if he “doesn’t have things right in front of him telling him what to do.”

Bartiromo returned to the congressman’s explosive claim, asking, “What do you mean he was jacked up at the State of the Union?”
“I believe they gave him something to sustain the lights and sustain the vigor that he had. That was not Joe Biden. I was in there. He screamed for two hours,” Murphy explained.
He suggested, “Maybe we can talk offline and I’ll show something that proves that.”
“You’ll show me what?” the host asked.
Murphy responded, “I think I can have some evidence that shows that he was given something before that.”
“Wow, OK,” Bartiromo said, asking, “In terms of medicine?”
Murphy claimed Biden is being “manufactured” the Democrat Party to be President of the United States.”
The host wound down the segment by saying she wanted to follow up on his claim and insisted it is “really compelling.”
