You can tell how much Republicans hate you by how easily they lie to you. It's despicable and shameless and designed with one goal in mind place their rightwing drones into a constant state of Fear & Anger.
Katie Britt started off her State of the Union response by claiming Senator isn't here job,
My name is Katie Britt, and I have the honor of serving the people of the great state of Alabama in the United States Senate. However, that’s not the job that matters most. I’m a proud wife and mom of two school-aged kids.
Love that Joker! |
But, Britt's horrific creepy lie-fest was punctuated with one of the most brazen lies of omission yet tried by a Republican. First though, Britt's weird breathy voice is a "virtue signal" to the Fascist Fundamentalists that she's a docile Tradwife, as this "Fundie Baby Voice" has been adopted by evangelical and female TikTok influencers and is immediately recognized by the faithful.
And much has been made of Britt's attempts to go from happy warrior, to tearful mother, to assertive but not angry woman, all while Republicans told her to smile more during her empty Kitchen response. Britt’s Kitchen was as empty and bereft as she is of morals, ethics, and principles.
But, Britt told a tale of woman subjected to horrific sexual violence from the time she was child.
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 cartels starting at age 12. She told me not just that she was raped every day, but how many times a day she was raped.
We wouldn’t be OK with this happening in a third-world country. This is the United States of America, and it’s past time we start acting like it.
President Biden’s border crisis is a disgrace. It’s despicable. And it’s almost entirely preventable.
Now, I am in no way discounting this women's tale of violence and trauma or saying the story is untrue but, Britt's Lie is in telling this story as though it's a direct result of President Biden's border policies. It isn't.
The woman in question, Karla Jacinto Romero, is an incredibly brave activist who has told her story of subjugation and sexual abuse for decades now. Former AP report Jonathan Katz uncovered this and I recommend watching his video essay detailing the fundamental dishonesty in Britt's recounting of the incident. I suppose in an irony of ironies despicable liar Katie Britt didn't even "SAY HER NAME" during this shameless co-option of Karla's trauma.
