Joe Biden’s worst State of the Union gaffe came after the actual address.

During the address, Biden was heckled by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R., Ga.) over the murder of Laken Riley, a University of Georgia nursing student who, while jogging on the campus of the University of Georgia, was allegedly killed by an illegal immigrant.

“Say her name!” Greene shouted from the hall. “Lincoln Riley,” Biden responded, “an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal.”

Within days, in a television interview, Biden found himself apologizing for using the term “illegal” instead of “undocumented.”

If you ever wonder why Biden has been unable to run a sensible immigration policy, consider that his activist base will not even let him talk about the issue without genuflecting to its arcane taboos.
