‘Am I Speaking English?’: Nancy Pelosi Snaps At Reporter Asking About Biden Fitness

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) snapped at an ABC News reporter questioning the top Democrat about President Joe Biden’s capability to be the party’s 2024 nominee.

Walking the halls of Congress, Pelosi sarcastically asked the reporter, Rachel Scott, if she was “speaking English,” trying her best to get Scott to stop asking her about the president.

“I’m not having any discussions with you, or anyone else, about what I talk to the president about, with all due respect,” Pelosi told Scott. “I’m not going to be making any comments today, in the hallway, about the fate of our nation, okay?”

Scott pressed Pelosi further, asking, “Are you concerned whether or not he can win in November?”

Pelosi said she thought Democrats could win in November and tried to shake the reporter before Scott asked if she believed Biden should be the party’s nominee.

“Am I speaking English to you?” a visibly frustrated Pelosi asked Scott. I’m not going to be making any statements about any of that right now in the hallway.”

Concerns over Biden’s capability to be the Democrats’ nominee have mounted since his poor debate performance against former President Donald Trump. Those concerns were only amplified during a short ABC News interview that aired on Friday.

With the legacy media no longer turning a blind eye to the signs of Biden’s deterioration, numerous congressional Democrats have publicly spoken out and are calling for Biden to drop out as nominee. Notably, though, no congressional Democrat has called for Biden to step down as president.

As Democrats scramble, Biden has been adamant that he’s staying in the race, even saying during the ABC News interview that he would only drop out if the “Lord Almighty” told him to.
