CNN panel spars over Biden’s use of ‘illegal’ in State of Union
==========
A panel of pundits on CNN’s “State of the Union” argued over President Biden’s use of “illegal” in his address to Congress. Biden referred to the case of Laken Riley, a Georgia student who was killed by a Venezuelan migrant who entered the country illegally. Pundits had mixed feelings about Biden's use of the term 'illegal' and his subsequent retraction. Republican strategist Scott Jennings criticized Biden for changing his language under pressure from the left flank. Former White House communications director Kate Bedingfield defended Biden, emphasizing the importance of language and accusing Jennings of disingenuous remarks. Bedingfield also suggested that migrants contribute to the U.S. economy, to which Jennings responded by questioning if migrants are responsible for murders.
