Pelosi's aide came to her assistance, passing her a note alerting her to the slip-up she's made many times before
Shortly after calling into question President Trump's mental health on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe,' House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's own mental health came under scrutiny, as the 77-year-old California congresswoman referred to President Trump as "President Bush" and forgot what day of the week it is.
A reporter quickly helped her correct the gaffe, interjecting "Trump," but Pelosi appeared oblivious she slipped up.
An aide then emerged from the sidelines, passing Pelosi a note, notifying her she got the two presidents mixed up again.
Pelosi's confusion came just two hours after suggesting Trump was losing his mind. "I am concerned," she said on MSNBC, about Trump's "fitness for office."
"I think his family should be concerned about his health," Pelosi said. "The fact is that this is hopefully not reparable -- hes the president of the United States."
"You mean you hope it is reparable?" Joe Scarborough asked, apparently confused.
"Yeah, yeah," she replied.
Asked if she had advise for Trump, she said, "go to sleep, get some sleep. Bring yourself to a place where your synapses are working."
During her weekly press conference, Pelosi not only became confused over who is president, but also what day of the week it is.
"I spoke to the speaker a week and a couple days ago -- last Friday," she said. "What is today? Friday again?"
The demonRAT’s hate campaign began under Bush I. They’re just using same old speeches, they’re big on recycling.
I’ve been suffering from CRS for a while now. Though I’ve never gone into full blown “Old-Timers disease” like the minority leader shows signs of. And I’m not responsible to the nation to keep a level head
Memory loss is...........uh, yeah, ...............what were we talking about, now?.................
I sometimes have trouble with names of famous people I should remember. But I remember every single detail of the Clinton scandals from leading demonstrations in england where our flag was burned to tainted blood to sexual assaults to tax write offs for donating used under wear to Bobbi Ann Williams describing the inside of bill’s mom’s house to jobs for sex to the threatening of witnesses to obstruction of justice to his cocaine overdose.
That happens to me as well. I’ll see a movie or show on TV and say there’s old, uh, what’s her face!
I can still name every student in my elementary school class in alphabetical order, but just the other day I had a hard time remembering Janis Joplin and Jim Morrisson’s names............
Strom Thurmon redux. He left office as the only member of either house of Congress to reach the age of 100 while still in office.
There must be the equivalent of "clause V" for mentally incapacitated Representatives.
Someone with balls in the House must act on it!
Sounds like a TIA or ministroke- treatable if addresed immediately.
Not that I know of.
The House and Senate each have their own rules for expulsion and I can’t remember any for health reasons.
There was even a Dem who had himself brought in on a gurney from his hospital room so he could vote on some piece of crap legislation..................
I must have bacon on my mind as instead of “baton” I thought you said “pass the BACON!”
