CNN and MSNBC couldn't find any airtime to mention President Biden's jarring gaffe in which he thought a dead congresswoman was alive but previously obsessed over the unintentional nickname then-President Trump gave to Apple CEO Tim Cook.
At the White House's Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health, Biden searched the crowd on Wednesday for Rep. Jackie Walorski, R-Ind. "Jackie, are you here? Where's Jackie? She must not be here," Biden looked around before continuing his speech.
Walorski died in a car accident in early August along with two staffers, which Biden himself acknowledged in a statement released after her passing. She had been a legislative champion of a bipartisan bill that tackles nutrition and hunger. A video tribute honoring her memory played at Wednesday's event.
