After initially coming to his defense on Sunday, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) appeared to throw Joe Biden under the bus during an interview Tuesday, acknowledging that concerns over his cognitive function are “legitimate.”
“Again, I think it’s a legitimate question to say, is this an episode or is this a condition?” Pelosi told MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell.

In the same interview, Pelosi also argued that both former President Donald Trump and Biden should take cognitive tests to the American people’s satisfaction.
“Both candidates owe whatever test you want to put them to in terms of their mental acuity and their health,” she insisted.

Biden’s debate failure was so total and complete due to his diminished cognitive function that top Democrats and establishment media outlets like the New York Times promptly called for Biden to step aside for a younger, more spry candidate to face off against Trump.
