Did MTG just break Joe Biden?
In a heated moment during Biden’s State of the Union, Marjorie Taylor Greene called out “Laken Riley!” sparking a mix of cheers and uproar from other members of Congress — and, forcing Biden off-script.
Biden held up a button that MTG had given him just prior to beginning his State of the Union with the 22-year-old college student’s name on it, who was brutally attacked and murdered by an illegal immigrant last month.
“Lincoln Riley,” Biden mispronounced her name, before going on to admit, “an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal. That’s right. But how many thousands of people of people being killed by illegals?”
Oops.
Looks like Biden’s drugs are wearing off for the night…
Watch the moment for yourself here:
🚨MASK SLIPS: With hard drugs wearing off fast Joe Biden has a truly shocking moment of honesty & lucidity.
After MTG screams Laken Riley’s name Biden goes off prompter, rattled and admits:
“THOUSANDS of Americans are being Killed by ILLEGALS.”
Joe knows.
He doesn’t care. pic.twitter.com/P6T0RBDQtS

Politico reported on Biden’s off-prompter moment:
President Biden was interrupted by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who was shouting “Laken Riley,” the name of the Georgia medical student allegedly murdered by an undocumented immigrant.
Biden pulled out a pin that Greene had appeared to hand him when he entered the chamber that had Riley’s name on it.
He said that he understood what it was like to lose a child, having lost a daughter and a son himself. “Laken Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal,” Biden said, mispronouncing her first name.
“To her parents, I say my heart goes out to you.”
This clip is quickly going viral on social media, with users pointing out how Biden didn’t even get Laken Riley’s name right…
According to Joe Biden, this is who just got killed by an illegal in Georgia. He doesn't care, he doesn't know.
It's Laken Riley, not Lincoln, Joe. pic.twitter.com/8qke7dTxYi

Earlier this evening Biden told MTG “I know how to say the name” when confronted by her and handed a button with Laken Riley’s name on it.
MTG: "Laken Riley. Say her name."
BIDEN: "I know how to say her name."
Then turns his back and waddles away.
They’re not even pretending to care anymore. They hate you.

Per Newsweek:
President Joe Biden had a seven-word response to Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who confronted the president about the death of Laken Riley as he walked down the House chamber to deliver the State of the Union.
“I know how to say the name,” Biden told Greene, who handed him a button that included the 22-year-old Georgia student’s name.
No you don’t, Joe.
No, you don’t.
Biden had exactly one name to get right tonight and he blew it
