Joe Biden Delivers Third and Possibly Final State of the Union Address; Botches Name of Migrant-Murdered ‘Lincoln’ Riley in Trump-Bashing Speech
By New York Post. President Biden stunned listeners Thursday as he veered from his highly partisan State of the Union address script to call out Georgia nursing student Laken Riley’s murder last month by an illegal immigrant — erring twice by calling her “Lincoln.”
Biden, 81, began his campaign-style speech by highlighting his best-polling positions — railing against former President Donald Trump on issues such as abortion, NATO and the Capitol riot — but was derailed by persistent Republican heckling, finally responding to their demands that he say Riley’s name hours after the House passed legislation in her honor to require migrants who commit certain crimes be sent to federal custody.
The president then held up a pin bearing Riley’s name, which Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) had handed him on his way into the chamber, with Biden telling the congresswoman, “I know how to say her name.”
“Lincoln — Lincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal,” Biden said, both botching her name and using a term considered politically incorrect by most Democratic officeholders.
“That’s right, but how many of the thousands of people being killed by illegals —” he began as Greene interrupted him with continued heckling over his border policies.
The president did not correct himself after botching Rliey’s name before adding: “To her parents, I say my heart goes out to you. Having lost children myself, I understand.” (Read more from “Biden Botches Name of Migrant-Murdered ‘Lincoln’ Riley in Trump-Bashing State of the Union Speech” HERE)

Joe Biden Delivers Third and Possibly Final State of the Union Address
By Breitbart. . .Biden has finally finished this travesty of a partisan hit job speech. Even Jake Tapper on CNN says he has “never heard” a State of the Union with so many partisan attacks on the president’s leading political opponent.
Talking points from Katie Britt team on how to praise her rebuttal (which has yet to be delivered):
– Calling her "America's mom"
– Comparing her to Reagan – his Berlin speech + Shining City on a Hill
– Contrasting her with Biden on age and "relatability"https://t.co/JrdhAkoRsF— Jonathan Swan (@jonathanvswan) March 8, 2024
. . .Biden is leading the charge for gun control. More extreme partisanship from Biden. He’s also now attacking “my predecessor” again repeatedly. This is amazing to watch a president yell at his predecessor and general election opponent this year in an election year State of the Union address.
Biden then calls for an “assault weapons ban” and then lies by claiming “none of this violates the Second Amendment.” . . .
Now, Biden is lying claiming the Lankford immigration and foreign aid plan would have helped solve the border crisis. These lies draw a seriously harsh response from the Republicans in the chamber who boo him, derailing the president off his planned remarks.
Biden is straight up lying now about Republicans on Social Security, falsely claiming that the GOP wants to cut Social Security. Trump has made clear that he wants to protect Social Security. (Read more from “Joe Biden Delivers Third and Possibly Final State of the Union Address” HERE)
