In response, Mr. Biden did, in fact, say her name, albeit botching the pronunciation so it sounded more like “Lincoln Riley.” The president referred to her as “an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal — that’s right.”

…

The president’s off-script use of the term “illegal” drew immediate pushback from progressives. “No human being is illegal,” Representative Delia Ramirez, Democrat of Illinois, posted on social media shortly after he uttered the word.

@AlexanderMiller I want to give others an opportunity to weigh in before I finalize. Are you thinking that the use of illegal is the gaffe? Or saying Lincoln instead of laken?

@DismalScientist Both count

@traders any disagreement on this?

@DismalScientist "illegals" was definitely a gaffe

Does this include news coverage from conservative outlets like Fox News?

@Dynd I am open to other opinions on the resolution criteria, but my inclination is that I would count this as long as Biden legitimately misspoke (so it was not a media creation).
