House Speaker Mike Johnson tore into President Joe Biden for being an “embarrassment” after the president seemingly apologized to Laken Riley’s accused killer instead of to the slain student’s family.
“The president is cowering to his base and showing deference to a man who deserves none. This man is an illegal immigrant who brutally murdered Laken Riley. President Biden should be apologizing to Laken’s family. What an embarrassment,” Johnson wrote on X on Sunday, responding to Biden’s interview with MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart that aired Saturday.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., urged Biden to condemn Riley’s killing by “an illegal” during an off-script moment in his State of the Union speech on Thursday.
