In his acknowledgment of Riley's tragic death, Biden referred to her killer as an "illegal," a choice of words that predictably ruffled feathers on the left. Unsurprisingly, Biden backtracked on his statement during a recent interview on MSNBC, essentially retracting his use of the term "illegal" and offering an apology for not opting for "undocumented" instead.
From Fox News:
"And I shouldn't have used illegal, I should've… It's undocumented. And look, when I spoke about the difference between Trump and me, one of the things I talked about on the border was his – the way he talks about vermin, the way he talks about these people polluting the blood. I talked about what I'm not going to do, what I won't do. I'm not going to treat any, any, any of these people with disrespect. Look, they built the country. The reason our economy is growing, we have to control the border and more orderly flow. But I don't share his view at all."
When asked if he regrets his word choice, Biden replied "yes."
As Biden kicks off his apology tour for Riley's killer, Trump was recently seen with Laken's grieving family, warmly embracing them and offering his sincerest apologies for what happened.
What a stark contrast, huh?
