Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene confronted Joe Biden while he made his way to the podium in Congress tonight for the State of the Union address. Greene could be seen wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ red hat, and a matching red jacket.
Greene also appeared to be wearing a t-shirt underneath the jacket which read, “Say Her Name, Laken Riley.”
Biden could be seen greeting people, when Greene, who was in the second row staring at Biden, said “Say her name.”
Biden responded by saying, “Say her name?” Greene then replied, saying “Laken Riley.”
Greene is referencing a 22-year-old Georgia student who was recently murdered by an illegal immigrant. The man charged with her murder is Jose Ibarra, a 26-year-old Venezuelan citizen. The House of Representatives, today, passed the Laken Riley Act, which will require the detention of any migrant who committed burglary or theft.

Greene was also reportedly handing out Laken Riley memorial pins ahead of today’s State of the Union speech. The Independent reports on that,
Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene has been handing out Laken Riley pins ahead of the State of the Union even after the murdered student’s parents turned down an invite to attend.
The parents of Ms Riley declined an invitation from Rep Mike Collins, Republican of Georgia.
Ms Riley, 22, a nursing student, was allegedly murdered while jogging on the campus of the University of Georgia.
“I invited Laken Riley’s parents to the State of the Union address, but understandably, they have chosen to stay home as they grieve the loss of their daughter,” Mr Collins wrote on X. “Therefore, the seat reserved for my guest will remain vacant to honor Laken and all American victims of illegal alien crime. As Joe Biden attempts to paint a rosy picture of the crime-ridden country he has created, he will look up at an empty seat that memorializes those we’ve lost because of his open border policies.”
