During an impromptu exchange at the State of the Union, President Joe Biden faced criticism from Rep. Nancy Pelosi for his choice of words when referring to an undocumented immigrant accused of killing a Georgia nursing student. The incident occurred while Biden was discussing immigration and GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene demanded that Biden say the name of the victim, Laken Riley.
Biden referred to the individual responsible for Riley's death as 'an illegal,' a term that Pelosi disagreed with. She expressed that Biden should have used the term 'undocumented' instead.
