Biden pronounces Laken Riley as 'Lincoln Riley' during speech.

During his State of the Union address, President Biden mentioned the death of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, who was killed by a Venezuelan man who entered the country without authorization. Biden referred to the accused man as an "illegal." The exchange occurred when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., shouted out Riley's name, and Biden used the opportunity to call on Republicans to pass a bipartisan border security bill. Biden expressed empathy for Riley's parents, having lost a child himself.
