Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is being blasted on social media for her comments regarding President Joe Biden’s age.
On Monday, she sat down with Evan Smith, a journalist at the Atlantic, to discuss the future of democracy, when she made the claim that Biden’s age was not a problem because he is younger than she is.
“He is absolutely a magnificent leader,” Pelosi said, “He is younger than I am . . . so I don’t know what the problem is.”
Twitter users, however, were quick to point out that this was not the rousing defense of Biden that Pelosi thought it was, and that there were several problems with her logic.
First, there is the fact that Biden is not that much younger than Pelosi. Pelosi is 82 and Biden is 80, which is hardly an age difference, and for all intents and purposes, they are basically the same age.
One Twitter user pointed out that comparing Biden to Pelosi in terms of youth was setting the bar rather low, as Pelosi herself seemed to be showing signs of age. “Someone needs to tell @SpeakerPelosi that this is NOT the winning point she thinks it is,” he wrote. “She also seems somewhat impaired in looks, voice & mannerisms.
Another Twitter user went even further than that and said, “Watch this without sound and tell me she doesn’t look absolutely Insane.”
