CAPEHART: “I noticed the look of surprise on your face when you walked into the chamber and you saw Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, it was priceless. You feigned shock at seeing her. But during your response to her heckling of you, you used the word ‘illegal’ when talking about the man who allegedly killed Laken Riley.”
Biden: “Undocumented person. I should not have used ‘illegal,’ it’s ‘undocumented.’ And, look, when I spoke about the difference between Trump and me, one of things I talked about on the border is the way he talks about vermin and the way he talks about these people polluting the blood. I talked about what I will not do. What I won’t do, I will not treat any of these people with disrespect. Look, they built the country. They’re the reason our economy is growing. We have to control the border and more orderly flow, but I don’t share his view at all.”
CAPEHART: “So you regret using that word?”
Biden: “Yes.”
