White House fields multiple questions on why President Biden appeared to look for deceased congresswoman

President Biden had deceased Rep. Jackie Walorski "top of mind" Wednesday when he looked for her in the audience at an event addressing hunger in the U.S., according to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

Jean-Pierre fielded roughly 10 questions Wednesday about the president’s gaffe during the White House press briefing. Jean-Pierre told reporters 14 times that the president wasn’t confused about whether Walorski was alive and in the room, but he had her "top of mind" because he will be meeting with her family on Friday.

The Indiana congresswoman was killed in a car accident in August, which the White House noted in a statement at the time.

"The president was naming the congressional champions on this issue and was acknowledging her incredible work," Jean-Pierre said. "He had already planned to welcome the congresswoman's family to the White House. On Friday, there will be a bill signing in her honor this coming Friday. So, of course, she was on his mind. She was top of mind for the president."

Reporters weren’t satisfied with Jean-Pierre’s response.

Following questions about discussions between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia and pressing the White House on how it plans to respond to the suspected sabotage of two natural gas pipelines fueling Europe, reporters returned to the president’s confusion about whether the former Indiana congresswoman was still alive.

If Walorski, who died in a car accident last month, was at the top of the president’s mind, another reporter asked, why was he looking for her in the room?

"Again, I think people can understand. 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 that top of mind," Jean-Pierre said again.

Minutes later, a third reporter brought up the president’s slip, pushing Jean-Pierre to give an exasperated "Why one more time?" response.

Jean-Pierre said the reporter, who asked whether Biden misread his teleprompter or if he was confused, was "jumping to a lot of conclusions."

"I just answered the question. If I had, if that had been the case, I would have stated that," Jean-Pierre said. "I clearly have stated what you just laid out. What I have said is that she was on top of mind and that he is going to see her family in just two days time on Friday to honor her, to honor her work, to honor, to honor her legacy, if you will."

After explaining why Biden singled out some Republicans on Tuesday and demurring on whether the president is pushing for Congress to pass legislation addressing concerns about antitrust issues with Big Tech, Jean-Pierre took another question about Walorski.

A reporter said the "confusing part" was why Biden thought Walorski was "alive and in the room" if she was at "top of mind."

"I don't find that confusing," she said. "I mean, I think many people can speak to, sometimes, when you have someone top of mind, they are at top of mind. Exactly that. And it is also, if you put it into context, it's not like it happened without outside of context."

The reporter shot back that he has "John Lennon on top of mind just about every day. But I’m not looking around for him."

"When you sign a bill for John Lennon as president, then we can have this conversation," Jean-Pierre concluded before taking the next question.

"Top Of Mind" is a progressive new term for when you don't know what you're saying or doing and you carry on as if you do.. Kinda like "Loss Of Mind" but a bit over the Top of it, ya know? .. It's a politically correct phrase that most people haven't heard.. Prolly can't google it yet

This thread us about BIDEN, you dolt.

Temple, did you notice we were talking about Biden? ...Biden, not Trump .. Biden .. Trump hasn't been president for almost 2 years .. Now it's Biden
...Do you feel that every time we post about Biden that you need dig up something on Trump?
... You're free to carry on with your Trump/republican bashing threads.. You probably have well over 100 of them here .. Shit, start some more.. Don't keep trying to turn every thread into your insufferable Trump obsession
... Your man Biden is president...you should be happy.. Instead you still incessantly fixate on everything Trump... Everything has to be Trump Trump republicans Trump .. When you see any critisizing of Biden you should respond with glowing praise of the wonderful things he's said and done.. Instead you wanna change the subject to Trump

Does Trump know who Douglass was?

If anyone would know who or what Trump knows it'd be you... Did Trump call out that man's name from the podium and look for him in the audience? .. If not, then whatever point you hope to make is irrelevant
... Do you believe Biden is above criticism? .. You believe we should refrain from any critisizing of the bumbling shit he says and does? .. Does your critisizing of Trump somehow condone the bumbling of Biden in your mind? ..
... Again, this thread is about something Biden said/did ... You can carry on about Trump in one of your many other threads about him...or start yet another one
