14. Pelosi was the one who actually caused Biden to step down with a nationally televised interview.

>> I never said anything about Pelosi.

Exactly. And that's why I asked you about her. You want to blame these three guys, but they were not the big actors here.

>> Why does it matter to you?

Truth matters, always.

Pelosi was far more causative than Tapper, Clooney and Stewart. (It's fine to be angry at them, for all three can be d*cks.)

But, Biden was finished after this ...

Top Democrats Nancy Pelosi and House Rep. Jim Clyburn said it is fair to raise concerns about President Joe Biden’s fitness after he stumbled through his first debate with former President Donald Trump.
Pelosi and Clyburn are some of the first high-profile Democrats to publicly validate recent anxieties about the president’s ability to wage a winning campaign against Trump.
Rep. Lloyd Doggett was the first Democrat to officially call on Biden to withdraw from the presidential race.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, of California, and House Rep. Jim Clyburn, of South Carolina, both Democrats, said Tuesday it is fair to raise concerns about President Joe Biden’s fitness after he stumbled through his first debate with former President Donald Trump on Thursday.

“I think it’s a legitimate question to say, ‘Is this an episode or is this a condition?’” Pelosi said in an MSNBC interview, noting that the question should be asked of both Biden and Trump.

In a separate MSNBC interview shortly after, Clyburn echoed that it is reasonable to wonder whether Biden’s debate performance is a signal of a larger medical issue: “I’ll have to wait on the experts in medicine to give their opinion, because I’m not a doctor, so I have no idea the extent to which all of this may have occurred.”
