Greg Gutfeld suggests GOP should nominate dead leaders after Nancy Pelosi declares reelection plans at 83
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Greg Gutfeld fired off at Speaker Nancy Pelosi's age on 'Gutfeld!' after she went on to announce her plans of running for reelection in 2024.
With Pelosi, Gutfeld decided to attack the Democratic Party as the age issue continues to be a problem, especially with President Joe Biden, which has been a serious concern for many Conservatives.
The late-night show host also took in the opinions of his guests, including 'Fox & Friends' host Janice Dean, for the night as he suggested dead leaders run for the 2024 Presidential Election.
Greg Gutfeld wants the dead to run for president
On September 8, Nancy Pelosi made the announcement of running for reelection for the third time as the Speaker, which was not well-received by either the Democrats or the Republicans.
The 83-year-old took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce her decision, stating, "Now more than ever our City needs us to advance San Francisco values and further our recovery."
She added, "Our country needs America to show the world that our flag is still there, with liberty and justice for ALL. That is why I am running for reelection."
Now more than ever our City needs us to advance San Francisco values and further our recovery. Our country needs America to show the world that our flag is still there, with liberty and justice for ALL. That is why I am running for reelection — and respectfully ask for your vote.…

Greg Gutfeld was among many to express concern as Pelosi would be 88 by the end of her term if she were to win the election.
"83-year-old Nancy Pelosi, currently alive, since we are taping this," said Gutfeld sarcastically starting his news segment, and he continued, "Posted on X today that she will run for reelection in 2024."
He then went on to attack the other older and elected Democrats and suggested that the GOP should take inspiration from them.
"If she and people like [Dianne] Feinstein, [John] Fetterman, [Mitch] McConnell, and Biden are what we have running the country, and they can't even pull together one working brain cell, then Republicans should go even older."
The screen displayed the pictures of former Republican leaders who have been long dead like George H W, Abraham Lincoln, and Ronald Reagan.
"Nominate the leaders we love who are dead," said Gutfeld with a comic deadpan face, adding, "Why not? What's the difference between them and the current slate of politicians we got? They may be dead but they are great!"
Janice Dean wants the elders to take a break
Greg Gutfeld, who looked pretty bummed about Nancy Pelosi's decision, asked Janice Dean, the meteorologist, "Why not elect dead people?" with a serious face.
To which she replied, "It doesn't matter if you are Republican or Democrat," continuing, "Elderly people need to ride off into the sunset."
As the audience applauded, she added, "Right? I mean I would! She's got lots of money, a freezer full of that expensive ice cream and she likes to get her hair done. Just have a nice rest of your life. Why do you want to go back into that?"
