W.H. Spox Olivia Dalton: Biden Didn’t Apologize for Calling Laken Riley’s Illegal Alien Killer an ‘Illegal’

Reporter: “In his interview with Jonathan Capehart, President Biden apologized for calling Laken Riley killer an illegal. Does — does he feel like he needs to apologize to illegal immigrants for calling them what they are, for using the term illegal?”
DALTON: “First of all, I want to be really clear about something. The president absolutely did not apologize. There was no apology anywhere in that conversation. He did not apologize. He used a different word. I think, what’s — what’s — what we should be really clear about is the facts. So in addition to the fact that, you know, the president did not apologize, I want to make another thing clear. The president spoke directly to this in the State of the Union address, not four nights ago, when he spoke passionately about knowing what it means to lose a child and extended his deep grief and condolences to Laken Riley’s family in — in front of the entire country, in the — in the House chamber. And beyond that, I think it’s unconscionable that there are some people who are playing politics with this young woman’s tragic murder. And particularly at a time, when let’s not forget, House Republicans are standing in the way of a bipartisan border security agreement, that is the toughest bill we have ever seen in history, and they’re doing so because Donald Trump feels that the American people’s safety is less important than his personal politics. That’s the fact.”
