Video shows Rep. Ronny Jackson getting handcuffed, cursing at cops | USA TODAY

Jackson said in a post Monday night on X, formerly Twitter, that he is "glad the video is out," which he contended showed "the incompetence of the authorities and their complete disregard for the young girl in distress." While he apologized for using profanity, he doubled down on the behavior deemed by law enforcement to be aggressive.

"I will not apologize for getting upset & speaking my mind considering the circumstances," Jackson posted. "If I had to do it again, I would still step up & act in a life-threatening situation. I will ALWAYS help someone in need. I WILL NOT apologize."
