A House Republican is claiming to have evidence President Joe Biden was ā€œunder the influenceā€ 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.

ā€œI’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,ā€ Murphy said.

He continued, ā€œI 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.ā€

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 ā€œact presidential.ā€ He also claimed Biden will ā€œfalterā€ if he ā€œdoesn’t have things right in front of him telling him what to do.ā€

Watch the video below:

Bartiromo returned to the congressman’s explosive claim, asking, ā€œWhat do you mean he was jacked up at the State of the Union?ā€

ā€œI 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,ā€ Murphy explained.

He suggested, ā€œMaybe we can talk offline and I’ll show something that proves that.ā€

ā€œYou’ll show me what?ā€ the host asked.

Murphy responded, ā€œI think I can have some evidence that shows that he was given something before that.ā€

ā€œWow, OK,ā€ Bartiromo said, asking, ā€œIn terms of medicine?ā€

Murphy claimed Biden is being ā€œmanufacturedā€ the Democrat Party to be President of the United States.ā€

The host wound down the segment by saying she wanted to follow up on his claim and insisted it is ā€œreally compelling.ā€
