Liberal media pundits criticized President Biden after he used the word 'illegal' to describe the person who allegedly murdered Laken Riley and argued that language mattered.
President Biden faced swift backlash from Democrats and liberal media pundits after he used the term 'illegal' to describe the suspect in the Laken Riley murder during his State of the Union address. After facing criticism from Democrats, the president back-tracked and told MSNBC's Jonathan Capehart in an interview airing Saturday that he regretted using the term for Laken Riley's alleged killer, who is an illegal immigrant.
Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student from Georgia, was allegedly killed by Jose Antonio Ibarra, who illegally entered the United States in 2022. In the days after his address, members of the media argued that people were not illegal. 'He really annoyed Democrats with the way that he spoke about immigration because he used the word ‘illegals’ to describe people. We normally don't use that word because people are not illegal. Their actions might be illegal.
