Biden searched out dead lawmaker because she was ‘top of mind’, White House claims

President Biden thought the late Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.) was alive Wednesday because she was “top of mind” for him as he prepares to meet her family Friday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed to the incredulity of the press corps.

The Biden administration’s regular briefing later devolved into chaos as reporters pressed Jean-Pierre to address the 79-year-old president’s mental health.

Biden made the gaffe earlier Wednesday at a nutrition event in Washington, saying, “Jackie — are you here? Where’s Jackie?” despite the fact that he publicly mourned Walorski’s death in a car crash last month — and even lowered the White House’s flags for two days in her memory.

Jean-Pierre gave almost identical answers when asked about the stunning remark by reporters from ABC, CNN, CBS and the Washington Post.

The questions grew increasingly pointed as the press secretary said nine times that Walorski was simply “top of mind” for Biden — without saying why the president thought she was alive.

Perhaps he thinks being pretend-POTUS means he can summon Democrats from the grave.

Top of mind or out of mind?

it may be necessary to first go out of your mind.

Possibly one of the dumbest press secretaries we’ve ever had, if not the dumbest. I think she may have realized something didn’t make sense, however, I’m not sure if she was bright enough to put it Together or was just reading a script someone gave her.

That's what I'm thinking. I think she has an idea that what she is saying sounds stupid, but she's trusting the script writers that she just needs to say it and it'll work.

Really, I have no respect for any democrat, But could ANYBODY spin this?

Eff’n Democrats and RINOs try everyday to make Americans believe in things that are obviously lies. Brandon was never bright, now he has dementia. Eff him. He’s always been a frickin’ pinko.

Anybody here see my old friend Jackie.
Can you tell me where she’s gone?

[healy61]

She reminds me of a very young actress in a 1930’s movie.

[miserare]

Yes. I called her the Black Shirley Temple when she first came on the scene.

I wonder if she can tap dance on the staircase?

Maybe I should dub her “Miss Bojangles”.

President Biden thought the late Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.) was alive Wednesday because she was "top of mind" for him [...]

Formulating it as though it were an established expression, attempting to imply that it is a "thing" that people forget that other people are already dead.

Yeah she’s dumb, but any PS would look bad trying to respond. Imagine if the infinitely more articulate Psaki was still PS, how would she handle it. I think she saw the handwriting on the wall for such moments which is why she split.

No words....except...this “leader” is making my ability to look at the future and feel good about it, very difficult. I’m so sick of and pained by and fearful of my federal gov’t.
