Rep. Pramila Jayapal Drops Perfect Response For Fox Reporter's Biden 'Decline' Talk

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) declined to answer a Fox News correspondent’s question about President Joe Biden’s well-being by hitting back with an inquiry of her own on Capitol Hill.

“Do you think it was OK to have Trump in cognitive decline for his entire four years?” said Jayapal before she promptly walked into an elevator.

Donald Trump’s cognition has also been questioned as the former president was reportedly unable to “keep a thought straight” in a meeting with CEOs, had “severe memory issues” during an interview with an author and publicly misnamed his former doctor.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus chair — who shared her Biden reelection concerns as his support dropped among Arab Americans in November — took to social media Monday to declare that the “foundation of our democracy” is at stake in 2024 before taking aim at the media.
