Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi went on CNN following Joe Biden’s divisive State of the Union address to complain about his non-PC choice of language when referring to a murder suspect.
Biden brought up Laken Riley, incorrectly calling her “Lincoln,” and said she was “an innocent young woman killed by an illegal.”
Responding to Biden’s remarks, Pelosi told CNN viewers, “He should have said undocumented. It’s not a big thing, okay? We usually say undocumented, he said illegal.”
Most media outlets said Pelosi “slammed” or “scolded” Biden, but CNN ran with the headline, “Pelosi defends Biden’s use of the word ‘illegal’ to describe migrant.”
Technically, Pelosi should be more concerned that Biden said Riley “was killed by an illegal” when 29-year-old Venezuelan illegal migrant Diego Ibarra has yet to be convicted and is a suspect.
However, all current evidence does point to Ibarra being guilty, and it was recently discovered his brother is tied to a Venezuelan criminal gang causing violence in New York.
Pelosi was criticized online for being more upset about Biden’s use of the term “illegal” than the millions of illegals coming into the country and the thousands of American deaths at their hands.
CNN wanted Nancy Pelosi’s take on when I forced Joe Biden to SAY HER NAME.
Nancy Pelosi didn’t acknowledge Laken Riley, rather Nancy Pelosi was more concerned with Biden referring to her murderer as an “illegal” and not “undocumented.”
