House Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke incoherently for nearly a minute during a Thursday speech which rivals the worst by Joe Biden.
Pelosi was asked about a bill targeting China over human rights abuses, but it’s hard to tell given her response to the question:

Apparently Pelosi was trying to say she preferred a similar bill authored by Rep. Jim McGovern, but then she started rambling, jumping from one topic to the next mid-sentence.
“We have a bill in the House. It’s the McGovern bill. It’s a stronger bill, uh, than the, uh, the — it is, it’s, a bill that we could have freestanding or a bill that is in the EAGLE Act, that is part of the, um, the, um, Mr. — Foreign Affairs Committee, Mr. Kendrick Meeks — no, Gregory Meeks’ bill,” she said. “Kendrick — we’re all very sad about losing Carrie Meek this week, so I referenced her son.”
Kendrick Meek hasn’t been a member of the US House since 2011, meaning she had him confused with Rep. Gregory Meeks, who currently chairs the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
“Granted, Pelosi wasn’t quite in the territory of forgetting the Declaration of Independence (“the thing,” as Biden might say) or stumbling over the concept of “citizen” while welcoming new citizens into the country, but there’s a pretty strong argument to be made that she was damn close,” reported Western Journal. “And the sad reality is that this isn’t the first time she’s shown signs of slipping.”
