Biden mistakenly calls out deceased congresswoman Jackie Walorski | USA TODAY

During the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health, Biden called on Indiana Rep. Jackie Walorski, who died in a car crash in August.

President Joe Biden appeared to call out the late former Rep. Jackie Walorski, R-Ind., who died in a car wreck in August, for being in attendance during a speech Wednesday at the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health.

Biden thanked "all of you here," singling out Walorski and other lawmakers, for their work on hunger as he spoke about his administration's efforts to end hunger in the U.S. by 2030.

"Jackie, are you here? Where's Jackie? I don't think – she was going to be here," Biden said. Walorski and two of her congressional staff members died in August during a head-on car collision in northern Indiana. She was 58.

She'll probably be voting for Biden in 2024.

[avrr]

He has been shaking hands with people who aren't there for awhile now.

[donnacon]

Ladies and Gents, that's the President of the US.

[protochris]

joe is simply calling out for the same people who elected him.

[Michael-yliq]

How can people not be screaming that this guy has no business being in charge?

[deplorablefederalist]

IMAGINE IF TRUMP DID THIS….THE MEDIA WOULD BE GOING NUTS DEMANDING A COGNITIVE EXAM.

He/his staff literally released a statement several months ago where supposedly he was so sad about her passing and was thankful for the time he worked with her. Just goes to show that everything for him is carefully written and scripted, and he has no clue what's really going on.

[starshine]

“Jackie…are YOU here? Where’s Jackie? I think she wasn’t going to be here.” There’s no “mistakenly” about that. He asked her if she was here….like to speak up if she was. A person doesn’t just forget that someone died…especially when the White House claims they are going to have a special event planned for her and her family since she died. He DEFINITELY didn’t remember that she had died….which is something huge to forget.

The White House press secretary makes this much worse trying to save the situation.

[sharpenflat]

I have never heard 1 complete sentence uttered by this man. It is no wonder why Hunter is so messed up.

[Lorenzoselas]

Everything about this man is mistaken…

[Reverend_Brown]

Biden ... I would like to thank Abraham Lincoln... where’s Abe.... Abe are you here ?

[tallymay]

It was NOT a mistake, its dementia. Her family was there today, I can't imagine how they must of felt!

[TigerTone]

Are you fit for the job?
Biden: "Just watch me"

Well, that didn't take long

[mrme]

This is why you should never order your President through the mail.

[Halle-]

Wow !!! Smh. He is an embarrassment to our Country. RIP Jackie 💕

[angieporter]

There is nothing that can be said to explain this one away.

He was looking for and calling for someone who has died.

[tomblasko]

So he’s graduated from “Let’s go Brandon” to “Where is Jackie?”

[Samman]

Where is SNL on Biden? Endless gaffe materials. comm' on man!

[patriotvol]

He is particularly fond of the deceased because so many voted for him
