Republican Alabama Sen. Katie Britt pulled no punches as she delivered her party's rebuttal to President Biden's State of the Union address Thursday night, ripping him for his "despicable" job handling the border crisis, as well as his promotion of "Bidenomics" amid the rising consumer costs plaguing American families.
A rising star within the GOP, the 42-year-old Britt's selection to deliver the rebuttal last week was met with widespread praise — even from some Democrats — as she continues to build a national profile despite never holding elected office prior to her election in the 2022 midterms.
Britt began her remarks with a reference to Biden's age and his decades as a career politician, blasting his speech as "the performance of a permanent politician who has actually been in office for longer than I've been alive."
"The country we know and love seems to be slipping away, and it feels like the next generation will have fewer opportunities – and less freedoms – than we did. I worry my own children may not even get a shot at living their American Dreams," Britt said.
"The American Dream has turned into a nightmare for so many families. The true, unvarnished State of our Union begins and ends with this: Our families are hurting. Our country can do better," she said.
Britt then sought to pick apart Biden's policies, starting with the ongoing crisis at the southern border that's seen a historic number of migrants cross into the U.S. She specifically called out his diversion from former President Donald Trump's border policies.
"President Biden inherited the most secure border of all-time. But minutes after taking office, he suspended all deportations, halted construction of the border wall, and announced a plan to give amnesty to millions...

Really? In listened to it and it was another Bobby Jindall moment. Why did they pick her for the rebuttal? Who picked her? If I hear the RNC or Ronna McRomeny has anything to do with this I’ll be livid!!! They should have picked Kari Lake or the woman that shredded Lez Cheney in Wyoming Harriet Hageman
Even Marjorie Taylor Greene would have been better and for a man they could have used Josh Hawley
I liked what she had to say, just not the over dramatized style of delivery. But as I was watching I wondered if they picked her and her style to appeal to women more than men.

$$$$$$$$$$
This. The whole point was to appeal to women, esp suburban women.
The democrats have declared war on women, and we need people like Britt to be public about it
Sounded too mommish.
MTG should have given it.
She is ALREADY a US Senator. She was elected in 2022.
As someone on another thread stated, we at FR are NOT the target audience. She made it quite clear that she was talking directly to the moms of America, a demographic that is a growing problem for Republicans.
She sounded like one of those ASPCA ads.
Bless Your Heart has many meaning in the south...just saying...
My apology...thanks for bringing me up to date.
The speech was talking to women.

Britt is a rising star in the RNC; you must be kidding?
The women, the homemakers, the soccer moms she was speaking to are pretty much asleep by 11pm. And I’m sure the west coasters are laughing at the pathetic, whining voice of a privileged, pretty, young white girl lecturing to them. She was practically crying. It was cringe-worthy.
The tone-deaf, stupid party.
*As someone on another thread stated, we at FR are NOT the target audience*
We can get too full of ourselves. The rats are worse.
*We are on the brink of a civil war and the Republicans roll out Mary Poppins in her kitchen.*
That’s what I was thinking but it’s above our pay grade. I guess it’s now up to the pundits.
Actually one of them is a thumb, but I think three of them are giving Biden the f you sign.
“Terminally stupid”
