Progressive Democrats are furious at President Joe Biden for accurately describing the man suspected of murdering 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley.
Biden addressed Riley’s death during his State of the Union address Thursday evening after he was heckled by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R., Ga.) and misstated her name in the process.
“Lincoln (sic) Riley, an innocent young women who was killed by an illegal, that’s right,” Biden said while holding up a pin with her name on it. “To her parents I say, my heart goes out to you having lost children myself, I understand,” he added.
Progressive lawmakers led by Representative Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) objected

So the man who murdered Laken Riley wasn’t an illegal? It wasn’t wrong for him to murder her? It wasn’t an incendiary act? These people just can’t allow themselves to believe that these illegals are causing harm to Americans. Until it happens to them.

No no, the Progressives are right. Biden shouldn't have called him illegal. He should've called him an ignorant ungrateful flea-bitten illegal peasant! That would've been a little closer to the mark.

Good Grief poster #1. He's a newcomer. Didn't you know? That's the new politically correct name for those who enter our country illegally. Won't be long now to call someone illegal will be a hate crime and armed jack-booted thugs from the FBI will kick your door down at 2a.m. and arrest you. /s

The latest partisan political description used by Biden and the globalist Democrats when referring to illegal aliens is that they are “newcomers”!

The speech was aimed solely at the party’s faltering base. The Laken ("Lincoln") Riley's section was not in the planned speech. It was adlibbed after verbal provocation. He was under stress. Meaning he said what he actually thought. And the progressive wing knows it. Anything to the contrary of "illegal" is gaslightting by himself and his handlers.

The Left treats "illegal" like using the wrong pronoun for xir. They are trying to neutralize the criminality of the people invading the US through the use of redefined 1984 Doublespeak. Their fury is entertaining.
Let's just call them Criminal Immigrants, OK? As soon as they step across the border without proper credentials, they are criminals.

A murdered girl versus a word.
Which inspired the most outrage?

Almost no one has commented on Joe calling her by the name of the USC head football coach. Can't he get ANYTHING right?

Illegal alien is a phrase approved by the SCOTUS defining people who are in this country indefinitely in violation of immigration law. If you find it incendiary and wrong, then this is not your country. To simply don’t belong here.

They are no longer illegals. They are newcomers according to the current administration. However, when the Trump administration returns to the White House, they will be future deportees.

How about "invader?" I think that's accurate.

He just had to throw in again that he has lost children too. That is so beside the point, this girl was MURDERED by someone here only because of Biden' s negligence, incompetence and sheer evil.

The social justice wing of the Democratic party has spoken. They believe Laken Reily should never have been jogging in the first place. It's unsafe! What to do? What to do? Don't blame the criminal! That leaves taking away public safety which they are OK with. Thieves have rights too! Even 'Newcomers'. Don't dare call them illegals.

Don't know what is wrong with these liberal snowflakes. This individual is an illegal alien criminal and that is that. Sometimes, you have to call the kettle black, and that is it. No offense to black people.

It is obvious that Biden is a racist. The Dems should immediately demand that the Speaker press impeachment charges. No one is above the law.

The Obama/biden regime have turned more Americans away from their side....everyone knows what happened...and trying to change the narrative by the fake news isn't working.....Americans know what happened and the illegal alien murdered a beautiful young woman because he was in America because of the biden border mess.....so Obama/biden are to blame for her death....

Q. What's the difference between an illegal alien and E.T.?
A. E.T. learned English, and wanted to go home.
