To his surprise, Greene stood there wearing a shirt and button featuring the name of the late Georgia college student Laken Riley, along with a red MAGA hat.
President Joe Biden mispronounced the name of jogger Laken Riley as « Lincoln, » at his State of the Union address, as he held up a pin with her name presented by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Biden got into multiple exchanges with Republican lawmakers during his speech, repeatedly criticizing his GOP presidential rival, Donald Trump.
However, as Biden started discussing a bill aimed at enhancing border security, which was thwarted by Republicans following Trump’s opposition, GOP lawmakers booed him. Greene, wearing a shirt featuring Laken Riley’s name, shouted at Biden, « Say her name. » « Lincoln, Lincoln Riley, » Biden said holding up the pin. « An innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal. »
Biden Does It Again
Biden didn’t even realize that he mispronounced Riley’s name and continued speaking. « But how many of thousands of people being killed by legals? To her parents I save my heart goes out to you having lost children myself, I understand, » he said.
More importantly, he flubbed the name of the Georgia nursing student, who tragically lost her life while jogging, on the very day the House approved the Laken Riley Act, which proposes that illegal migrants accused of theft upon entering the country should be placed under federal custody.
Greene presented the pin to Biden as he entered the House chamber to deliver his remarks.
As he approached the podium, someone called out to him, prompting him to glance in that direction.
