Sen. Katie Britt attempts to clean up her misleading State of the Union response

Your virtue signaling is rejected. I vote for politicians not based on these things
1) how they look
2) how they talk


but rather what they actually will do. I believe Joe Biden wants to jack up my taxes
I believe Joe biden wants to appoint judges and justices who are hostile to honest citizens being armed
I believe Joe biden wants to balkanize America into warring ethnic and gender (or gender confused) groups
I believe Joe biden wants lots of illegals to flow into this country

now what he says means nothing to me
same with Trump. I look at how Trump's judges and Justices have voted and compare them to clinton and Obama/Biden

 

It was miss TEEN america….

 

An important detail!

 

gain, Ethical absence noted.

 

A bad night all around for the Trump Party.

Joe Biden State of the Union reviewed: "Unequivocal success"​

Britt backlash stokes GOP fears about losing women voters​

 

I would say that is shocking but nothing that piece of human filth can do shocks me anymore.

He could rape a teen in the middle of Times Square and likely not lose a single supporter.

 

Nothing was said about upsetting "you", so with that statement, your biased comment, it seems you are upset because you had no FACTS!
Nice try, once again.
Failure!!

 

The "fearmongers" are all the tRUMPIANs, those that follow "P01135809".
That is the platform they are trying to get votes on.
Maybe the "wall" should have been built somewhere else to keep out people like "P01135809" and his egomaniac ways.

 

What exactly did she get wrong?

Sen. Katie Britt has told her misleading anecdote about sex trafficking multiple times

WASHINGTON — Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., has come under fire in recent days over allegations that she misrepresented the story of a sex trafficking victim in the Republican response to the State of the Union last week.

An NBC News review of her remarks over the last year shows it’s an anecdote she’s used often to criticize the Biden administration’s border policies, though the victim she references was trafficked through Mexico roughly two decades ago.

During her response to the State of the Union, the freshman senator spoke about her visit to the U.S.-Mexico border in 2023 and told a graphic story involving rape and sex trafficking to criticize President Joe Biden’s border policies.

“When I first took office, I did something different. I traveled to the Del Rio sector of Texas, where I spoke to a woman who shared her story with me. She had been sex trafficked by the cartel at the age of 12. She told me not that she was raped every day, but how many times a day she was raped,” Britt said during her address on Thursday.

“We wouldn’t be ok with this happening in a Third World country. This is the United States of America, and it is past time, in my opinion, that we start acting like it,” she added.

She didn't say it happend under the Biden administration or where what did she get wrong. Maybe we SHOULD let it happen. The woman was NOT sex trafficked by cartels. Is being sex trafficked by the cartels worse in Mexico than what pours over the border? Cross border sex trafficking doesn't occur?
