During his disastrous State of the Union address, Joe Biden made an attempt, but failed, to address Laken Riley’s tragic death. He repeatedly mispronounced her name as “Lincoln Riley.”
Furthermore, Biden downplayed the significance of her murder, even apologizing for referring to her murderer, accurately, as an “illegal.”
During a Get Out the Vote rally in Rome, Georgia, on Saturday night, President Trump spent time with the family and friends of Laken Riley.
Laken, a promising nursing student at the University of Georgia, was brutally murdered by Jose Antonio Ibarra, a criminal illegal alien, while she was on a campus jog.
Despite being invited to the SOTU by Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA), Laken’s family chose to decline the invitation.
Tonight Donald Trump met with Laken Riley’s family and consoled them.

They chose to join President Trump at his rally in Rome, where he comforted Laken’s family and friends.
During his speech, Trump spoke extensively about her, describing her as “the brightest light in every room.”
Watch:
In an interview with MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart, Biden expressed remorse for his use of the term “illegal” when referring to Laken’s murderer.
MSNBC host (PBS pundit) Jonathan Capehart gushes over Biden's speech, but presses him on calling Laken Riley's suspected killer an "illegal." Should have said "undocumented person," the president says.
