At a Recent Event, Biden Was Looking For a Dead Congresswoman.

Yeah, that’s not good.

I know Biden’s known for the, uh…gaffes…but this one was a doozy.

Maegan Vazquez with CNN reports:

“President Joe Biden on Wednesday asked if a congresswoman who died last month was present at a White House food insecurity conference.

At the event, the White House’s first hunger conference since 1969, Biden took a moment during his remarks to credit a list of bipartisan elected officials. All of the officials he listed were behind a bill establishing Wednesday’s conference, and the late Indiana Republican Rep. Jackie Walorski was a co-sponsor.

“I want to thank all of you here for including bipartisan elected officials like Rep. (Jim) McGovern, Sen. (Mike) Braun, Sen. (Cory) Booker, Representative — Jackie, are you here? Where’s Jackie? I think she wasn’t going to be here — to help make this a reality,” Biden said…”

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

I’m sorry, but I don’t care where you are on the political spectrum. If you’re a Democrat and you’re telling yourself that doesn’t raise red flags, you are lying to yourself.

“I think she wasn’t going to be here…”
