Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) suggested Joe Biden should be added to Mount Rushmore.

During an appearance on “CBS Sunday Morning,” Pelosi called Biden “such a consequential president of the United States, a Mount Rushmore kind of president of the United States.”

“You have Teddy Roosevelt up there. And he’s wonderful. I don’t say take him down. But you can add Biden,” she added.

From the New York Post:

Biden was born in 1942 — about a year after Mount Rushmore was completed.

Pelosi’s extolling of Biden came as she defended her machinations during the recent Democratic mutiny against the president, who she claimed “was in a good place to make whatever decision – the top of his game” — at the time.

Biden was forced to abandon his reelection bid last month after months of debate over his mental and physical ability to govern — a crisis that was rapidly speeded up by his disastrous debate performance against GOP foe Donald Trump in June.

Per Fox News:

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.
