Previous to President Joe Biden addressing the nation in his State of the Union speech Thursday evening, the president was headed down the aisle towards the podium when he something stopped him in his tracks.
As he moved through the see of members of Congress begging for selfies, Biden turned and locked his eyes onto Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) who was decked out in all red gear bearing symbols and the name of former President Donald Trump. But, it was what happened next that is of note.
Greene handed Biden a button with the name of the now late 22-year-old Laken Riley, who was "allegedly" kidnapped and murdered by a criminal invader -- also know as an illegal alien -- in Georgia back in February. Greene followed up the gift to Biden with a request.
"Say her name, Mr. President," Greene said.
With that, Biden turned and continued his procession to begin delivering his speech.
