Topic: Laken Riley

President Joe Biden expressed regret during an MSNBC interview for using the word "illegal" to describe the suspect in the Laken Riley murder case, preferring the term "undocumented." The hosts analyze the backlash from both the political right and some media commentators who view the walk-back as a sign of weakness and catering to activists.

During the State of the Union, President Biden mispronounced the name of Laken Riley, an innocent woman killed by an illegal immigrant, calling her "Lincoln." Biden blamed Donald Trump for the failure of a bipartisan border bill, while Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene heckled him from the floor. Critics argue Biden already possesses the executive authority to close the border without new legislation.
