Nancy Pelosi has decided that President Joe Biden deserves an upgrade from his current station in political purgatory to a more lofty position—Mount Rushmore. Yes, that Mount Rushmore, where the faces of past presidents like Lincoln and Washington tell tales of leadership and resolve. According to Pelosi, Biden’s record of accomplishment—whatever those might be in the eyes of her party—warrants his image being carved into granite alongside America’s most revered leaders. One can’t help but wonder if she’s been sipping on Biden’s infamous ice cream concoctions a little too liberally.
During a CBS News interview, Pelosi painted an almost surreal portrait of Biden as a vital figure in American history, suggesting he merits placement next to monumental presidents. The chutzpah it takes to claim Biden is on par with Lincoln reaches epic proportions. Viewers might have observed CBS host Lesley Stahl’s disbelief as she ventured to clarify whether Pelosi really thinks Biden deserves such an honor. The spectacle of politicians trying to float one another’s egos is not new. Still, this exchange takes it to new dizzying heights, reminding everyone why it’s hard to keep a straight face during political discussions.

Pelosi’s claim that Biden is a “consequential president” is particularly amusing considering the current state of affairs under his administration. Between rising inflation, a staggering border crisis, and a perception of weakness on the world stage, those accomplishments seem a bit like magic tricks gone awry. Nevertheless, Pelosi held firm to her views as she boldly suggested that Biden could just squeeze in alongside Teddy Roosevelt without removing anyone else—because nothing says “we’re in control” like adding a new face to the Mount Rushmore roster on a whim.
In the same breath, she denounced any suggestion that she might have pressured Biden on his candidacy for the 2024 elections. Apparently, despite the swirling reports of private conversations where she advised him about his polling and potential risks to the Democratic Party, she insists she is merely a bystander in Biden’s race to the bottom of public approval ratings. Claiming she didn’t call anyone to persuade him to step aside only adds to the hilarity. It’s almost like watching a game of political charades where the biggest clue is conveniently ignored.
Despite all the chaos around Biden’s potential withdrawal from the race, Pelosi maintained her position that whatever the president decides is perfectly fine with her. This enigmatic stance leaves many wondering whether there’s a master plan or just a chaotic gamble in the absence of solid leadership from the White House. It is hard to ignore the cognitive dissonance in a political landscape where bold proclamations about great leaders happen while current leadership faces skepticism from both sides of the aisle. If this keeps up, the next suggestion might be a cabinet position for Biden at the local ice cream parlor instead of added sculptures—the way things are going, at least that’s a job he might actually manage to keep.
