On August 3rd, 2022, 100 Percent Fed Up reported on the unfortunate news that Rep. Jackie Walorski and two of her staffers were killed in an automobile accident in Indiana.

Biden released a statement on her passing and announced that White House flags would fly at half-staff in her honor after she and two of her staffers were killed in a car crash in Indiana.

Yet today, Joe Biden was looking for Walorski during his remarks and specifically asked where she was – even after releasing the statement last month on her death.

“Jackie are you here? Where’s Jackie?”

-Joe Biden says about Rep. Jackie Walorski who died in a car accident a few months ago during the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health in D.C.

‘She must not be here,’ he concluded while thanking other lawmakers for the bipartisan effort to end hunger and food insecurity in the U.S. by 2030.

The video of the latest blunder went viral on Twitter.

Jennifer-Ruth Green  Running for Congress, U.S. House candidate, IN-01, posted on Twitter:

The latest blunder raises more questions about his mental acuity. Most voters told an Insider/Morning Consult poll last week that he is unfit to serve in public office.

The latest mishap has brought up previous questions regarding President Biden’s mental and physical fitness for office amid verbal gaffes and incidents – including falling off his bike and up the stairs.

Biden’s Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre repeatedly dismissed his gaffe, claiming the president was only calling out for Walorski because she is ‘at top of mind’ as her family prepares to visit the White House on Friday.

‘I think the American people out there who, you know, watch the briefing from time to time, maybe at this moment, will understand when someone is’ ‘at top of mind,’ Jean-Pierre said.

‘I don’t think it’s all that unusual to have someone top of mind, especially as there’s a big event – two big events – today and also Friday that is going to occur,’ she said. ‘And so he is going to see her family, they’re going to honor her, they’re going to celebrate her.’

During the event, the White House was scheduled to play a video tribute to Walorski.

Greg Price posted the exchange between a reporter and Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Twitter:

Reporter: “The confusing part is why, if she and the family is top of mind, does the president think that she’s living and in the room?”

KJP: “I don’t find that confusing.”

Reporter: “I have John Lennon top of mind just about every day but I’m not looking around for him.”

Reporter: “Sorry I have to do this but I’m compelled to ask you to go one more time back to the question of Rep. Walorski.” Jean-Pierre: “I’m not sure why? Why?”

Reporter: “The memory of her and history requires some clarity.”

Jean-Pierre: “You’re jumping to conclusions.”

Blake Masters, the U.S. Senate candidate in Arizona, posted on Twitter: 

The fact that the White House Press team won’t admit that Biden became confused and made a mistake here is really crazy.

Then again, Kamala says the border is secure, and Biden says inflation is 0%. The Democrats lie about everything because the truth is so bad for them.

Scalise Press Release –

WASHINGTON, D.C. — House Republican Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) released the following statement on the passing of Congresswoman Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.):

“I am devastated and saddened to learn about the tragic passing of my dear friend Jackie Walorksi and two of her staffers.
