President Joe Biden, while speaking at the White House Conference on Nutrition, Hunger, and Health on Wednesday, asked the audience where Rep. Jackie Walorski was — almost two months after the Indiana Republican congresswoman was killed in an automobile accident in Indiana in August.
Biden made the gaffe when he was calling out the bipartisan work that members of Congress have done, thanking Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind., Rep. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Walorski for their work.
“Jackie, you here?” Biden said. “Where’s Jackie? She must not be here.”
He then went on with his speech.
Walorski and two members of her staff died in the two-vehicle crash on Aug. 3 in Indiana. The Republican congresswoman had represented the state’s 2nd Congressional District since 2012.
On the day she died, Biden issued a statement through the White House press office saying that he and his wife Jill were “shocked and saddened” by the news.
