While Biden was walking into the State of the Union address, the cameras pointed to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who was donning a t-shirt tonight that read “Say her name”.
Greene’s shirt was paying respect to 26-year-old Lanken Riley, a nursing student at Augusta University’s Athens, who was killed by an illegal immigrant.
During one moment, Biden and Greene locked eyes, and the lawmaker from Georgia handed Biden a pin that read Remember Lanken Riley.
Take a look:
Joe Biden has no excuse.

Midway through his speech, when Biden was talking about the immigration crisis, MTG spoke up, “What about Laken Riley?”
Biden responded to MTG by mispronouncing Lanken’s name by calling her “Lincoln Riley” and continued to say she “was innocent and killed by an illegal.”
Watch the moment it went down here:
