“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg is defending President Joe Biden as reporters are asking about an unfortunate blunder.
On Thursday, the talk show’s panelists discussed reporters’ decision to press White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about why the president was looking for the late Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.) at a White House event.
“Yesterday, the White House addressed a gaffe from President Biden at a conference on hunger, nutrition, and health where he asked for a representative who died in a car accident last month,” Goldberg said.
The show then played a montage of reporters asking Jean-Pierre about the gaffe.
“You know, my gosh. Come on. You can’t go after him for not giving aid to Florida, or not tackling the infrastructure. He’s giving aid to Ukraine. So you can’t go after him for that. But you can go after him for forgetting that someone has passed,” Goldberg said, taking aim at the media.
She went on, “And she passed last month, not like a hundred years ago, OK? Cause we dealt with that as well where we have people say that person who died 100 years ago did a great job.”

Co-host Joy Behar chimed in, “Well, remember Trump thought Frederick Douglass was still alive.”
Meanwhile, Sara Haines suggested Biden may have experienced a “brain fart.”
It is not exactly clear where Goldberg was going with her comment about Walorski’s death being a month ago, as opposed to 100 years ago.
