Joe Biden attempted to address the murder of Laken Riley by an illegal immigrant for the first time during his State of the Union address 40 minutes into the speech. However, the 81-year-old could not get the nursing student’s name correct — twice referring to her as “Lincoln.”
Responding to Republican lawmakers who have for weeks attacked Biden for failing to address the murder of Laken Riley, Biden briefly ditched the text of his speech to acknowledge her death.
The Democrat held up a pin with Laken Riley’s name on it, which was given to him by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA); he entered the House chamber, claiming: “I know how to say her name!” He then described her as “Lincoln — Lincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal, that’s right.”
“But how many thousands of people being killed by illegals?” he added incoherently.
Former Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi upbraided Biden for referring to Riley’s alleged murderer as an “illegal” after the address, telling CNN the President “should have said undocumented.”
