Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi mused Sunday morning that President Biden could be added to Mount Rushmore after choosing to step out of the 2024 race.
CBS journalist Lesley Stahl asked Pelosi, D-Calif., about reports claiming she led efforts to remove Biden from the presidential ticket following his disastrous debate against former President Trump.
Pelosi denied leading any charge to oust Biden and instead remarked how he was at “the top of his game” before making his decision to leave the race. She suggested the choice was worthy of Biden joining the presidents on Mount Rushmore.
“He was in a good place to make whatever decision – the top of his game,” Pelosi said. “Such a consequential president of the United States, a Mount Rushmore kind of president of the United States.”
Stahl asked, “Are you really saying that he belongs up there on Mount Rushmore? Lincoln and Joe Biden?”
“Well, you got Teddy Roosevelt up there, and he’s wonderful,” Pelosi clarified. “I don’t say take him down. But you can add Biden.”
Nancy Pelosi now wants Joe Biden to be enshrined on Mount Rushmore.
When will she come back to reality?

Pelosi also reemphasized that she wasn’t part of any pressure to get Biden to leave the race.
“No, I wasn’t the leader of any pressure [campaign],” Pelosi told CBS. “Let me say things that I didn’t do: I didn’t call one person. I did not call one person. I could always say to him, ‘I never called anybody.'”
In the days leading up to Biden deciding not to run again, multiple reports emerged suggesting Pelosi pressured him to step down out of concern he would lose against Trump.
However, Pelosi continued to publicly voice her support for the president, adding it was his decision to make despite Biden insisting he would run again.
“It’s up to the president to decide if he is going to run,” Pelosi told MSNBC at the time. “We’re all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short. The, I think, overwhelming support of the caucus, it’s not for me to say. I’m not the head of the caucus anymore, but he’s beloved, he is respected, and people want him to make that decision. Not me.”
Biden is already on Mt. Rushmore! Its actually bird sh*t, but you get the idea! Have they dedicated that Pelosi Memorial Outhouse in SF yet?
A Pelosi Memorial Outhouse that’s great we need to build one in every State, Just use pieces of old lumber, Sounds wonderful to me.
Nancy Pelosi lives to tell lies always has and as far as putting Biden onl Mount Rushmore that is a complete idiotic statement if anything he belongs under it not on it
Oh Pigalosi, tome and tome again eveytime you open your mouth you spill forth shit garbage. How dare you. Biden belongs in the trash can. That is all he is and was good for. You might want to loosen your bra straps, you obviously have a lack of oxygen to the brain.
Whoa Nancy, you are behind the politically correct times. There are libtards trying to remove the faces from Mount Rushmore because it is a symbol of country’s racism. Wait, maybe she just admitted Biden is a racist. If those faces represent racism, then Biden does belong up there.
