Joe Biden is hosting a White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health today. It’s the first time in nearly 50 years, so it’s a pretty big deal.
Here’s hoping it was just hunger that led Biden to say this:
"Jackie are you here? Where's Jackie?"

Well, yes. Seeing as she was co-chair of the House Hunger Caucus, it’s indeed likely that Jackie Walorski was gonna be there. But her death kinda threw a wrench in her plans.
What makes this especially weird is that Biden issued a statement on Walorski’s death after it happened:

And the White House website noted that Walorski is no longer with us:

Does … does Joe Biden think “late” actually means that she’s just running a little late?
Imagine being the White House staffer who had to inform Biden – again – that Rep. Jackie Walorski died last month

Biden apparently unaware that Rep. Jackie Walorski passed away…even though the conference has a video honoring her memory https://t.co/LhWr3GrqWs

It's time for him to step down, it's elder abuse at this point.

But wait! There’s more:
I just learned that Joe Biden also, not even two weeks ago, signed a bill into law renaming a VA hospital after the late Rep. Walorski… https://t.co/cTmRLnJiNq
