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.
Biden had issued a statement upon her death, saying that both he and first lady Dr. Jill Biden were "shocked and saddened" by her passing. The White House also flew flags at half-staff in honor of her death. "Well, all right everybody, please join me in thanking Sens. Booker and Braun, Chairman McGovern and the late Jackie Walorski for her extraordinary leadership to make this possible. We would not be here without them," she said.Jean-Pierre bristled at reporters on Wednesday when they repeatedly inquired about Biden's comments at the conference.
She denied that the President was confused or that there was something mistakenly on the teleprompter.
