The exchange between U.S. Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene and Biden sunk the Democrat’s coming out party for a cognitively challenged president
The moment at Thursday’s State of the Union address that summed up President Joe Biden’s disastrous and dangerous tenure came with the name of a Georgia college student reportedly murdered by an illegal immigrant — a name Biden characteristically butchered.
The exchange in which U.S. Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene prodded Biden to say Laken Riley’s name sunk the Democrat’s coming-out party for a cognitively challenged president who withered under the heat of his most profound policy failure.
“Say her name,” Greene demanded from the House chamber. The Georgia Republican had handed the president a “Say Her Name” pin as he entered the hall.
Biden seemed to read from the pin as he mistakenly responded, “Lincoln Riley.” Corporate media outlets have dutifully corrected his mispronunciation, one of many mixups and verbal slurs through what could prove to be Biden’s last SOTU speech.
“Lincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal,” he said, clearly deviating from the teleprompter script. Biden’s handlers must have swallowed their tongues as the Democrat Party figurehead used a term that is factual but forbidden by identity politics extremists. It certainly was a departure from the latest massaged descriptor for illegal immigrants Biden has been trying out: newcomers.
Biden said his “heart goes out to” Laken Riley’s parents, mourning the senseless loss of their 22-year-old daughter, a nursing student who was killed while running on campus. Police suspect her murderer is a 26-year-old man from Venezuela who is in the country illegally.
Hours before, the U.S. House passed the Laken Riley Act on a vote of 251 to 170, a mark of bipartisanship that signals just how much political trouble Democrats are in for creating the border disaster. The bill would require detention for illegal aliens who have committed non-violent crimes such as theft.
“Innocent Americans from Laken Riley in Georgia to the 14-year-old rape victim of an illegal immigrant in our home state of Louisiana,” Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Wednesday, according to The Hill. “They’ve all been victimized by those whom the Biden administration has released into our country. He is releasing them into your state.
