“Because here is real danger in what Katie Britt did. And I want to take a moment and sit in the danger and talk about the fact that she weaponized someone's story, not to actually get something done, not to make someone's life better, but to score political points. It's just about the ugliest thing you can do in American politics.” — Alicia Menendez, on MSNBC’s The Weekend.
Maybe #KatieBritt should look closer to home for sex criminals…
“An Alabama politico who worked on multiple GOP campaigns and led a local Young Republicans chapter is accused of sexually torturing and murdering another man. Kyle Hayden Lewter, 36, was charged with killing Derek Franklin Walls, 54, during a ‘physical alteration’ last Thursday in Madison County.”
"I have watched the rebuttal 4 times now, looking for one plan to improve what she complained about. How about some ideas to improve things. President Biden laid out specific plans for the future; ie, Expanding Affordable care Act. Tax credits for first time home owners, a Border Bill penned by a Conservative Republican Senator, Sen Lankford, increasing Corporate Taxes and more. But I did not hear anything except self made problems by Senator Britt."
So Katie Britt is a liar—you can say it, New York Times.
The Alabama senator used a story about sex trafficking to criticize the Biden administration’s border policies. But the events appear to have occurred in Mexico years ago.
Heather Cox Richardson on the Republican rebuttal to Biden last night, delivered by Alabama’s Katie Britt:
“The fact that the Republicans had a female senator give what could be the most important speech of her life in a kitchen seemed to tell its own, more powerful, story.”
Doesn’t address personhood—“#Alabama lawmakers pass bill aimed at resuming #IVF treatment, but experts say it will take more to protect fertility services”
