As Biden was talking about the border bill, Marjorie Taylor Greene yelled Laken Riley and say her name, so President Biden did, and he said that she was murdered by an illegal and his heart went out to her parents.
And then he moved on, while Marjorie Taylor Greene and her MAGA hat were shut up.
The Republicans grumbled especially as Biden called them out for blocking the bipartisan border security bill, but if they were trying to upstage or humiliate Biden, they failed. Biden didn’t look too old to be president. He looked like a president who was in command and headed for a second term.
