Biden’s impromptu remarks, which were spurred by a conversation with Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, provided one of the most uncomfortable moments of the evening.
Biden’s use of the term “illegal” to describe to individuals who have entered the country unlawfully was an example of the use of antiquated vocabulary that is frequently chosen by Republicans but has been abandoned by Democrats and campaigners for social justice for a considerable amount of time.
The conversation took place during a segment of Vice President Joe Biden’s comments, during which he was asking Congress to enact a border security bill that was supported by both parties. However, House Republicans chose to reject the package at the insistence of former President Donald Trump.
When Greene, who was wearing a T-shirt that read “Say Her Name,” called out Riley’s name over the microphone, Biden was prompted to break from the script. Greene was wearing the shirt over the microphone. After then, he brought about a brief silence, which was then followed by the presentation of a button that included the name of the victim.

“Lincoln Riley,” Biden commented, giving the impression that he was mispronouncing the victim’s first name, “an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal – that’s right.” “In the name of Lincoln Riley, what is the total number of thousands of people who have been slain by illegal immigrants?
Next, Biden addressed the parents of the victim, saying, “My heart goes out to you, having lost children myself.” Biden addressed the parents of the victim. To do this, Biden directed his words at the parents of the children. It is not a mystery to me.”
According to the federal authorities, the death of Riley, a nursing student who was 22 years old, was apparently caused by a person who entered the country without authorization on February 22 in Athens, Georgia. Riley was a student at the University of Georgia.
Invoking Riley’s passing, Vice President Biden asked Republicans to give their approval to the legislation that would bolster border security for the United States.
“We can fight about fixing the border, or we can fix it,” the politician said. “We have two options.” “I’m ready to fix it.”
