Fake News Network once again carries water for the Biden regime and criminal illegal aliens.
CNN refused to air a conservative group’s political ad blaming Joe Biden for the death of 22-year-old Laken Riley, who was killed by an illegal alien.
“I am told that CNN is refusing to air this. They ran out the clock on a pre-SOTU ad buy — then rejected it, calling several of its claims unsubstantiated. Fox and MNSBC aired it,” Fox News correspondent Guy Benson reported Friday.

Building America’s Future said that all the other major media networks, including Fox News, MSNBC, and Newsmax, accepted the ad.
“CNN and Joe Biden are in lockstep once again: they won’t even #sayhername,” the group’s advisor Phil Cox said in a statement to National Review.
“It is shameful that CNN is censoring the truth and trying to protect President Biden by refusing to air this ad,” Cox added. “The American people understand that Biden’s open borders agenda is responsible for the death of Laken Riley. Building America’s Future won’t be deterred when it comes to the important work of informing the public on how we are all less safe in Joe Biden’s America.”
The ad begins with a voiceover saying that Riley “should have been able to go on a run in broad daylight without being murdered by an illegal immigrant.”
“But Joe Biden promised not to deport illegal immigrants,” the voiceover adds, quoting the president’s own words. “Biden vowed not to detain illegal immigrants who cross the border.”
The video cuts to Biden arguing that local police should not turn over illegal aliens to federal authorities.
“So when Jose Ibarra was arrested in New York City for endangering a child, he was freed a second time. Ibarra went to Georgia, where he beat Laken Riley to death. How many more killers has Biden set free?” the ad asks.
The 60-second clip was part of a $700,000 television ad buy that aired nationally and in key battleground states, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin during Biden’s State of the Union address on Thursday.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) called on Biden during his address to say Riley’s name.
When confronted by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) to say Riley’s name during his address, Biden responded by calling her “Lincoln Riley.”

What Biden meant to say was “Laken Riley.”

“An innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal,” Biden said. “But how many…thousands of people are being killed by illegals? To her parents, I say my heart goes out to you, having lost children myself. I understand.”
