President Joe Biden’s recent remarks about a nurse he once met named Pearl Nelson have been met with both praise and criticism from the political right. During a speech on affordable healthcare in Virginia Beach, the president praised the nursing profession and described how Nelson had “done things” he did not think she learned in nursing school. He recalled her whispering in his ear and leaning down to breathe on him to make sure there was a human connection.
The president’s remarks were met with praise from many on the left, who applauded his recognition of the importance of nurses and the hospitality they show to patients. However, many on the right have taken issue with his comments, claiming that they are an example of Biden’s tendency to make outlandish and exaggerated statements.

The president also came under fire from congressional Republicans for his claims at the State of the Union Address that the GOP wants to cut Social Security and Medicare. The party has denied these claims, and many conservatives have accused Biden of using this false narrative to push his own agenda.
In addition, some on the right have questioned the president’s decision to focus on a single nurse’s story while ignoring the hard work of other nurses and healthcare workers. They argue that Biden should have used his platform to recognize all of the nurses and healthcare workers who have worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic, rather than just one individual.
Overall, President Joe Biden’s remarks about Pearl Nelson have been met with mixed reactions from the political right. While some have praised him for recognizing the importance of nurses and healthcare workers, others have criticized him for making exaggerated statements and failing to recognize all of the hardworking nurses and healthcare workers. It remains to be seen how this story will play out in the coming weeks, but one thing is certain: President Biden’s remarks will continue to be a source of debate among conservatives.
