President Biden said he regret using the term "illegal" in his State of the Union address to refer to the illegal immigrant who "allegedly" murdered Georgia nursing student Laken Riley. Biden expressed contrition in an interview with Jonathan Capehart on MSNBC that aired on Saturday.
"I'm not going to treat any, any, any of these people with disrespect," Biden told Capehart. "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."
CAPEHART: During your response to [Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s] heckling of you, you used the word ‘illegal’ when talking about the man who allegedly killed Laken Riley.
BIDEN: An undocumented person. I shouldn't have used illegal, it’s undocumented. And look, when I spoke about the difference between Trump and me, one of the things I talked about in 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.
CAPEHART: So, you regret using that word?
BIDEN: Yes.
