Hours After Joe Flubs Laken Riley’s Name – Her Mother Rains Down Perfect Karma on Joe

The calls were for Joe Biden to, “Say her name.” And when it came time for him to deliver for the young American allegedly killed by an illegal immigrant, he committed his latest gaffe before all the world.

Biden couldn’t correctly utter the name of Laken Riley, the 22-year-old Georgia nursing student killed last month. He tried to go off script and deliver an emphatic shout-out, but flubbed by calling her “Lincoln Riley.”

His weak-minded attempt to pacify critics calling him out for his illegal immigration policies and not protecting Americans was met with a sharp response from Riley’s mother. Biden has publicly ignored Riley’s death while defending his efforts to keep more illegal immigrants flowing into the country.

After his gaffe seen around the world, Biden was slammed by the slain girl’s mother. She had enough of Biden’s half-hearted response to a challenge to say Riley’s name.

From Fox News:
“Biden does not even KNOW my child’s name – it’s pathetic! If you are going to say her name (even when forced to do so) at least say the right name!” Laken’s mother, Allyson Phillips, wrote on Facebook in response after someone noted Biden called her “Lincoln” and said he was trying to “minimize” her murder by invoking his son Beau’s death from cancer.

The unscripted attempt to say Laken’s name was prompted by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) shouting at Biden, “Say her name!” while he was babbling about the border crisis.

Biden retorted, “Lincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal. That’s right. But how many thousands of people are being killed by legals?”

He couldn’t stand to simply pause and reflect on this young American’s death. In his typical selfish, angry response he just had to turn it into something that promoted his leftist position on illegal immigration.

Biden’s political pandering to the left over the border crisis has reached a breaking point for many Americans. Republicans are stepping up efforts to fight Biden on the issue, and even introduced the Laken Riley Act in the House this week.

Riley, from Augusta, Georgia, was found dead on the University of Georgia campus on Feb. 22. Her roommate reported to authorities she had not returned home from her morning run and a Venezuelan migrant in the country illegally was arrested in connection to her murder. He had previously been arrested and released.

The Laken Riley Act would force the federal government to “take into custody aliens who have been charged in the United States with theft, and for other purposes.” It was passed by all voting Republicans and a few Democrats while most Democrats opposed the legislation, calling it “un-American.”

Former President Donald Trump, the GOP assumptive nominee in the 2024 presidential election, said it is all-American to stop the border crisis. His trip to the border late last month highlighted his dedication to stopping crimes against Americans, and he has spoken to Riley’s parents.

“A beautiful 22-year-old nursing student from Georgia was barbarically attacked,” Trump said. ” The parents are devastated, and they’re incredible people.”

Trump called out Biden for his border policies that have allowed more than 7 million illegal immigrants to pour into the U.S. under the incumbent’s administration.

“This is a Joe Biden invasion. A Biden invasion,” Trump said. “I call him crooked Joe… the most incompetent president we’ve ever had.”

Key Takeaways:

  • The mother of Laken Riley slammed Biden as “pathetic” for getting her name wrong.
  • Biden flubbed the murdered woman’s name while defending his immigration policies.
  • The gaffe seen around the world happened during Biden’s State of the Union speech.
