President Biden sparked outrage Saturday, as apologized in a new interview for using the word “illegal” to describe Laken Riley’s alleged killer during his State of the Union address.
However, the embattled commander-in-chief failed to apologize – or even acknowledge – that he butchered the murder victim’s name twice as “Lincoln Riley” during the same address.
“Today, President Trump honored Laken Riley, while Joe Biden apologized for calling the animal who murdered her an illegal,” tweeted Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-SC), who demanded during the address that Biden say Riley’s name.
“It’s despicable.”
Utah Sen. Mike Lee blasted Biden’s comments as too little too late .
“Biden’s word choice doesn’t change the fact that Laken Riley’s killer (1) entered the U.S. illegally, having been encouraged to do so by Biden’s open-border policies, & (2) later killed Laken Riley,” the Republican posted on social media.
“Regardless of what euphemisms Biden uses, he enabled Laken Riley’s murderer.”
The comment also outraged average voters on social media.
“He just lost my vote,” said an X user named @soulsurvivoraz
During an interview with MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart, Biden satisfied the Democratic Party’s far-left faction by expressing remorse for using the term “illegal” while describing Jose Antonio Ibarra, the killer of Riley, a Georgia nursing student.
“I shouldn’t have used illegal, it’s undocumented,” he said.
“And look, when I spoke about the difference between Trump and me, one of the things I talked about in the border was his, the way he talks about vermin, the way he talks about these people polluting the blood. I talked about what I’m not going to do. What I won’t do.
“I’m not going to treat any, any, any of these people with disrespect. Look, they built the country. The reason our economy is growing. We have to control the border and more orderly flow, but I don’t share his view at all,” continued Biden.
“Look, they built the country. The reason our economy is growing. We have to control the border and more orderly flow, but I don’t share his view at all,” continued Biden.
“So, you regret using that word?” Capehart asked.
“Yes,” Biden responded.
Biden’s semantics game Saturday sparked outrage among conservatives, who blasted the president for protecting criminals.
“Now Biden says illegals built our country and that he won’t disrespect the illegal who killed Laken Riley by calling him any names, says he should have said that he was undocumented instead of illegal,” music video director Robby Starbuck wrote on X. “Get ready to play this clip all year. Evil.”
“Joe Biden tells MSDNC that illegals ‘built this country,’ conservative political strategist Kingsley Wilson said. “Our elites’ disdain for the foundational Americans who ACTUALLY built this country knows no bounds.”
