Nancy Pelosi suggests Joe Biden's name for Mount Rushmore, netizens react: ‘They’re going nuts’
Nancy Pelosi suggested adding Joe Biden to the Mount Rushmore. It seems like an apology for making the president opt out of the presidential run.
According to the former House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, US President Joe Biden should be added to Mount Rushmore as an honour. In a clip released by CBS, Pelosi suggested adding Biden to the faces carved at Mount Rushmore as he is such a “consequential president.” The praise from her came after she defended herself about the recent Democratic mutiny against the president.

Pelosi suggests a place for Biden at the Mount Rushmore
In a clip from the CBS Sunday Morning Show, Pelosi was heard recommending Biden to be added to the faces at Mount Rushmore as he is “such a consequential president of the United States, a Mount Rushmore kind of president.” When asked about whether the 81-year-old is worthy of the honour, she said, “You have Teddy Roosevelt up there. And he’s wonderful. I don’t say take him down. But you can add Biden,” as reported by The New York Post. Along with Roosevelt, the rock upholds mugs of former Presidents including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. Interestingly, Biden was born a year after the carvings at Rushmore were completed in 1942.
The paise from Pelosi came after rumours claimed she pulled the strings behind the curtains to orchestrate Biden opting out of the presidential run. After the debate between Biden and Donald Trump, Pelosi supported Biden however then started to declare publicly that he needed to decide about re-elections. Some of her close friends in Congress who second the need for Biden to step down included, Reps. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.)

Pelosi denied allegations of orchestrating mutiny against Biden
On the CBS show on Sunday, Pelosi denied all allegations of being part of the Democratic mutiny which forced Biden to opt out of the upcoming elections. She said, “No, I wasn’t the leader of any pressure [campaign]. Let me say things that I didn’t do: I didn’t call one person. I did not call one person. I could always say to him, ‘I never called anybody.’ ”
When asked if she felt that Biden had to withdraw from the presidential run for the future of the Democratic Party, she said, “No. My whole point was whatever he decides, but we have to have a more aggressive campaign.” She claimed to have faith in the president and his decisions for the country.
The 46th president of the US was reported to be furious with Pelosi for her purported role in the revolt. However when asked about Biden’s mood towards her after the revolt she said, “He knows that I love him very much.” She also stressed the fact that she “never shared any conversations with the president of the United States publicly.”
