    Default Biden Botches Laken Riley's name, and said, "An illegal"

    President Biden stunned listeners Thursday as he veered from his highly partisan State of the Union address script to call out Georgia nursing student Laken Riley’s murder last month by an illegal immigrant — erring twice by calling her “Lincoln.”Biden, 81, began his campaign-style speech by highlighting his best-polling positions — railing against former President Donald Trump on issues such as abortion, NATO and the Capitol riot — but was derailed by persistent Republican heckling, finally responding to their demands that he say Riley’s name hours after the House passed legislation in her honor to require migrants who commit certain crimes be sent to federal custody.The president then held up a pin bearing Riley’s name, which Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) had handed him on his way into the chamber, with Biden telling the congresswoman, “I know how to say her name.” “Lincoln — Lincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal,” Biden said, both botching her name and using a term considered politically incorrect by most Democratic officeholders.


    I could only watch the first 10 minutes or so of the State of the Union. I'll watch the rest later. The nonstop, no shame lying, an understanding that most people will take the lies at face value was annoying.

    It was me that rated your thread 1 star out of 5. It wasn't Axe. Also, I'm replying 50 minutes after you posted it. That's 48 minutes more than 2 minutes.

    Trump referred to his wife as "Mercedes."

    These claims are false, because they omit obvious context indicating that the former president was referring to a Mercedes Schlapp. Among other connections, Schlapp served in the Trump Administration as White House director of strategic communications.

    The American Conservative Union, which runs CPAC, is chaired by her husband, Matt Schlapp. At the beginning of the speech, Trump thanked both of them, looking to his far left as he did so:

    .
    .
    Because viral and comedic claims that Trump referred to his wife as Mercedes during Trump's 2024 CPAC speech omit the crucial context that he was referring to Mercedes Schlapp, the claim is "False."

    Right because an illegal had never entered the country before Biden and Trump would have built the wall and prevented it.

    He went Dark Brandon there and addressed Marjorie directly. He probably felt bad for Marjorie because she is trans.

    One side is condemning it and the other side is condoning it.

    lincoln.

    guess it's apparent that joe thought that "lincoln" was a male.

    ...a biological male, that is. it's 2024 so you have to be crystal clear about that kinda thing.

    By refusing to admit and acknowledge the root cause, you are condoning the murder.

    Laken Riley's attacker should have never been in the country to begin with. Then, when he was held in custody twice for committing crimes, he should have been detained and deported. Instead he was released both times. This woman was killed by left wing policy.

    By cheering on this lunacy, you are condoning whatever happens as a result.

    Not just condoning it but ACTIVELY FACILITATING it - see FLYING in illegals from their home country into the US.

    And what is it that right wingers condone by locking them out? Because that results in more human death than this.

    Unless you personally know Riley she is a stranger to you and her death is no different than the death of a child in Mexico.
