In a stunning display of political gymnastics, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently declared that President Joe Biden should take a permanent place alongside the titans of American history—namely on Mount Rushmore. This proclamation followed another predictable media tour, where the California Democrat touted Biden as a “Mount Rushmore kind of president.” Apparently, in her world, the bar for such high honors has plummeted to levels not seen since Biden’s latest cognitive puzzle.
Pelosi, in a fit of creative historical revisionism, praised Biden as “such a consequential president,” suggesting that his visage be added to the granite faces of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. Yes, that’s the same Joe Biden whose significant achievements largely consist of numerous gaffes and an alarming penchant for forgetting where he is or what he’s doing. If anyone deserves a monument, it’s the president who keeps us guessing—after all, why shouldn’t he share real estate with some of the best and brightest?
Nancy Pelosi, after helping to lead a coup to remove cognitively compromised Joe Biden from the Democrat ticket, denies her role and declares:
“He was at the top of his game, a Mount Rushmore kind of President."

This revelation has not only left conservatives scratching their heads but also inspired a chorus of ridicule from online commentators. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, known for his sharp tongue, labeled Pelosi’s remark as “laughably ridiculous.” Given her past antics and the drunken claims that seem to accompany them, many are left wondering whether Pelosi was sipping on a little something stronger than your average cup of coffee during the interview. Because let’s be honest, the logical leap from the simple greatness of Theodore Roosevelt to recognizing Biden as a peer requires a strong imagination—or perhaps a strong cocktail.
As if trying to navigate a minefield of her own making, Pelosi has also attempted to deny her involvement in any whispers aimed at ousting Biden from the Democratic ticket. Of course, this comes after many in her party began questioning Biden’s viability, especially after a few lackluster debate performances. Despite growing pressure and whispers behind closed doors, she claimed not to have contacted anyone to influence Biden’s decision. The contradiction is rich, akin to a soap opera plot twist that leaves viewers baffled yet strangely amused.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris continues to be the chosen one among Democrats, with Pelosi among the proponents tapping the vice president as the ideal candidate for the party’s 2024 nomination. Harris has reportedly secured the necessary delegates, but there’s always the question of whether she can carry the weight—or simply continue the Biden legacy of confusion and chaos.
As for whether Pelosi’s proposal for Biden’s addition to Mount Rushmore holds any water, it’s safe to say that most Americans—especially conservatives—will treat it like a balloon tossed into the air: amusing at first, but ultimately floating away into the realm of absurdity. The best part? In a world rife with political hyperbole, Pelosi’s outlandish assertion might just add a new chapter to the ongoing satire that is American political discourse today.
