‘Where’s Jackie?’: Biden asks dead Indiana rep to identify herself in crowd

 

President Biden asked for the late Rep. Jackie Walorski to identify herself at a Washington event Wednesday, forgetting that the Indiana Republican died in a car crash last month.

Biden made the embarrassing error while thanking bipartisan members of Congress at a nutrition event near the White House.

“I want to thank all of you here, including bipartisan elected officials like Representative [Jim] McGovern, Senator [Mike] Braun, Senator [Cory] Booker, 

Representative Jackie — are you here? Where’s Jackie? — I think she was going to be here,” the president said.

No, give him a break on this one. There are hundreds of rep's in Congress. She's not a major leader or a cabinet member. He could've been told in passing a month ago and just forgotten like any of us could've.
