Yes, you read that right.
Nancy Pelosi thinks we should add Joe Biden to Mount Rushmore.
She says he was “such a consequential president” — up in the ranks of Washington, Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, and Lincoln.
See for yourself:
Welp… we have reached peak insanity.
Pelosi just said that Joe Biden is a “Mount Rushmore kind of President” and said that we should add him to the monument.
Someone needs to step in and take the vodka bottle away from Nancy. This is out of control. 😂pic.twitter.com/1qAwToFkDq

Even the reporter looks shocked!
Kristi Noem attempted to talk some sense into Pelosi on X:
Sorry Nancy, Mount Rushmore is not a place to celebrate someone who lied about his mental decline, willfully and knowingly endangered the lives of the American people, crushed American families, undermined the Constitution, and weakened our country at home and abroad.
Joe… pic.twitter.com/j99GNjuajt

Gov. Mike Huckabee also had a great response to Nancy:
Even CBS thought this was laughably ridiculous. Was Nancy sober when she said this? There has to be something to explain such a ludicrous suggestion. https://t.co/cFZBGwEynr

From Fox News:
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi mused Sunday morning that President Biden could be added to Mount Rushmore after choosing to step out of the 2024 race.
CBS journalist Lesley Stahl asked Pelosi about reports claiming she led efforts to remove Biden from the presidential ticket following his disastrous debate against former President Trump.
ADVERTISEMENTPelosi denied leading any charge to oust Biden and instead remarked how he was at “the top of his game” before making his decision to leave the race. She suggested the choice was worthy of Biden joining the presidents on Mount Rushmore.
“He was in a good place to make whatever decision – the top of his game,” Pelosi said. “Such a consequential President of the United States, a Mount Rushmore kind of President of the United States.”
Stahl asked, “Are you really saying that he belongs up there on Mount Rushmore? Lincoln and Joe Biden?”
“Well, you got Teddy Roosevelt up there, and he’s wonderful,” Pelosi clarified. “I don’t say take him down. But you can add Biden.”
The Washington Examiner added:
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) argued in a new interview that President Joe Biden is a “Mount Rushmore kind of president” and indicated his face should be included as part of the iconic monument.
The historic monument, located in South Dakota, features former U.S. Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. Pelosi argued that Biden has been “such a consequential president” when reflecting on his term.
“But you got Teddy Roosevelt up there, and he’s wonderful,” Pelosi said. “I don’t say take him down, but you can add Biden.”
ADVERTISEMENTPelosi’s suggestion has been widely rebuked online, with former Republican Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee calling it “laughably ridiculous.” He also questioned if the former House speaker was sober during her interview, as there had to have been “something to explain” her suggestion.
I know one president who might be up there among the ranks of Roosevelt…
And, it’s not Joe Biden.
🇺🇸 Should we add President Donald Trump to Mount Rushmore?
