Joe Biden Calls Laken Riley 'Lincoln Riley' During Embarrassing State Of The Union Speech
Joe Biden stood in front of the nation and called Laken Riley "Lincoln Riley" not once, but twice during his highly-embarrassing State of the Union speech on Thursday evening.
The President of the United States couldn't remember - or at the very least not pronounce - the name of the Georgia nursing student who was murdered in February by an illegal immigrant named Jose Antonio Ibarra who Biden's policies let into the country. Instead, his mind wandered to Lincoln Riley, the name of the head football coach at USC. Lincoln Riley was still trending on X, formerly Twitter, as of Friday morning.
That is a thing that actually happened for the entire world to witness. It's worth noting the incredibly disrespectful wrong-name calling came while Biden was holding a button six inches from his face that read "Say Her Name Laken Riley."
"Lincoln — Lincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal," the President shouted.
Yes, 81-year-old men make mistakes and mispronounce words, but there is only one 81-year-old man who is the President of the United States at the moment, and this blunder was nothing short of gross.
After saying the dreaded ‘i’ word that his Democrat counterparts despise - "illegal" - the President continued to disrespect Laken Riley and her family.

Biden quickly got off the topic of an illegal immigrant murdering an America citizen by asking, "But how many thousands of people are being killed by legals?" He posed the question while still holding up the Laken Riley button.
The President's naivety and selfishness then kicked in as he went to his go-to story about how he's lost children so he understands what Riley's family must be going through.
"To her parents, I say, my heart goes out to you having lost children myself. I understand," Biden said, while yes, still holding the button.
Biden did not correct himself for botching Laken's name despite many in attendance shouting at him. He simply moved on to address why a bipartisan Senate bill should be stalled so illegal immigrants can continue to do whatever, whenever, and wherever in the United States.
