Because President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were not embarrassing our country enough as they attempt to stare down Russian President Vladimir Putin amid heightened tensions over Ukraine, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi threw her hat in the ring this week and offered her own humiliating gaffe.
