President Joe Biden tried to parse his words carefully after being asked point-blank as he came off Air Force One Friday about his use of the word “illegal” to describe the man charged in the death of a slain Georgia nursing student.
During the State of the Union address Thursday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., heckled Biden, prompting the president to react and refer to the alleged killer of 22-year-old Laken Riley as “an illegal.”
Upon stepping off Air Force One, Biden was asked by a reporter, “Do you regret using the word ‘illegal’ to describe immigrants last night, sir?”
“Well, I probably, uh, I don’t regret … it,” the president responded, “uh, technically he’s not supposed to be here.”
According to Mediaite, Biden received criticism from Democrats for using the word “illegal” rather than the preferred nomenclature: “asylum-seeker.”
