    Alabama GOP Sen. Katie Britt on Sunday responded to allegations that her response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address was misleading.

    The criticism centers on a story Britt told about a victim of human trafficking, which she implied happened during Biden’s tenure.

    [...]

    Shortly after the address, a viral social media post by journalist Jonathan Katz looked more closely at the story and noted that the trafficking did not happen during Biden’s presidency, or even in the United States; it happened during the administration of President George W. Bush, in Mexico.

    Doesn't matter if it's based on a lie, as long as it fits the narrative, right? That's today's Trump party for you.

    Not according to Charlie KKKirk. lol

    "But many people found Britt’s tone in her speech off-putting and forced — including some on the right, like commentator and staunch Trump supporter Charlie Kirk.

    “I’m sure Katie Britt is a sweet mom and person, but this speech is not what we need,” Kirk wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Joe Biden just declared war on the American right and Katie Britt is talking like she’s hosting a cooking show whispering about how Democrats ‘dont get it’.”

    Dems don't "lionize" Biden so try again.
    Republicans are the ones in deep, deep trouble and they know it.

    sure they do=they claim he's qualified to be president and that he has made America better. Republicans tend to be far less dependent on the government so we suffer less when the Talibiden are in control. When the GOP cuts off the milk to the public teats, those dependent on government tend to hurt

    You had direct evidence that the crime she was referring to happened when Biden was still in the Senate.

    But you managed to hear what you already are predisposed to hear.

    You'd vote for a criminal over a democrat.

    I so admire your moral rectitude.

    It makes me want to cry.

    Hyper-partisanship, as virulent zealotry, is no substitute for rational thinking.

    Lies are lies, and dogmatic credulity predicated upon party affiliation does not change that.


    The woman whose story Alabama Sen. Katie Britt appeared to have shared in the Republican response to the State of the Union as an example of President Joe Biden’s failed immigration policies told CNN she was trafficked before Biden’s presidency and said legislators lack empathy when using the issue of human trafficking for political purposes...

    “... I think she [Britt] should first take into account what really happens before telling a story of that magnitude,” Jacinto said...

    She also said that she was never trafficked in the United States, as Britt appeared to suggest. She was not trafficked by Mexican drug cartels, but by a pimp who operated as part of a family that entrapped vulnerable girls to force them into prostitution, she said.

    Jacinto said she was kept in captivity from 2004 to 2008, when President George W. Bush was in office and when Biden was a senator.

    Britt's message was in stark contrast to Joe Ritalin's cold angry rantings. Ritalin was forced to talk about a murdered woman by one of his illegal aliens. His anger got the best of him and he clearly said something he regretted. Anger and ego makes people say the darndest things. Biden is a puppet on the strings of the Privileged Class along with his wife. They sold their souls to get into the Oval Office.

    There are no saints in Washington. If we all were to vote for saints only we'd never have another president. Jimmy Carter was the last saint. People don't vote based on someone's personal life, they vote based on a candidates platform.

    LoL

    In your mind, there's no difference between 'not being a saint' and 'being a criminal'?

    That's right.

    There was a time when Conservatives cherished family values, respect, moral rectitude, law and order.

    Now they'll endorse a debauched criminal to further their political agenda.

    How many cases does Trump have to lose in court for the MAGA to understand that he's a criminal?

    Under trump, more free money (handouts) were given to private businesses and industries hurt by his trade wars than any other president before or after him.

    So I don’t know in what reality you people believe this “milk” was cut. Likely the same one where this was a good speech.
