You call it "“pathetic" for saying her name wrong, but for someone who wrote her name wrong and autographing it makes it all better?

Internet Abuzz Over Donald Trump's Autograph On Laken Riley Pic

Donald Trump met with the parents of Laken Riley, the college student found dead near the University of Georgia last month, before Saturday’s rally ― and a photo of their encounter definitely attracted internet eyeballs on Tuesday.

Riley died after Jose Ibarra, a 26-year-old Venezuelan citizen who immigration authorities say unlawfully crossed into the United States in 2022, allegedly killed her.

Authorities said Riley’s skull was disfigured and that she died from blunt force trauma. As a result, Ibarra has been charged with multiple crimes, including malice murder, felony murder and false imprisonment.

Because Riley’s alleged killer was in the country illegally, many right-wingers have turned her death into a cause célèbre.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) castigated President Joe Biden at the State of the Union, telling him to “say her name.”

The president did, though it sounded like he was saying, “Lincoln Riley” instead.

Riley’s mother, Allyson Phillips, was upset at Biden’s verbal blunder, calling it “pathetic,“ according to the New York Post.
