Former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tried and failed to defend Joe Biden‘s mental acuity following his disastrous debate performance.
Pelosi slurred her words and rambled incoherently during a Sunday interview on CNN‘s “State of the Union” with co-host Dana Bash when asked if Biden should step aside amid voter concerns he is not mentally fit to serve as president.
“This is an opportunity for Joe Biden to go out there and show he has the stamina and the rest,” Pelosi said.
“And, by the way, while the press — and, for some reason, they don’t — there are health care professionals who think that Trump has dementia, that his connection — his thoughts do not go together, not only that he just lies; he doesn’t even know the truth.”

“So, if we’re just talking about mental acuity, let’s be fair about it,” she continued.
“I don’t think Tom Friedman thinks that Donald Trump should be president of the United States.”
“And while he may be saying we’re enablers, we see Joe Biden up close. We know how attuned he is to the issues, how informed he is.”
“When I debate with him about legislation — and not debate, but discuss it with him. He’s right there,” she concluded.
“So in any case, it was a bad night. Let’s not sugarcoat that. It was a bad night. It was a great presidency.”
Pelosi’s rambling became so erratic at one point that many started to question her own mental fitness.
