Pelosi Barely Able To Walk In Latest Public Appearance

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared to move with some difficulty to a waiting van in a video clip posted online Thursday.

Pelosi, 84, recently fell and broke her hip during an overseas trip late last year while in Luxembourg with other members of Congress. The incident required hip replacement surgery and left her hospitalized at a U.S. military base in Germany for a period before returning home.

While her staff claimed then — and continues to claim — that she is recovering well, the video once again raised questions among a growing number of Americans concerned about the advanced age of their representatives and reignited talk of imposing term or age limits for all members of Congress.

Pelosi’s video is going viral around the same time reports surfaced this week that former Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) fell again walking down a short flight of stairs leaving the Senate chamber on his way to lunch.

Some users online compared the deteriorating physical abilities of Pelosi and McConnell to that of the late Sen. Diane Feinstein, who literally remained in office until her dying day despite the fact that her mental capacity had deteriorated to a point where she was thought to be nearly incapacitated.

“Congress and the senate have become senior living facilities,” former Missouri Secretary of State candidate Valentina Gomez wrote on X.
