Politics : Was Katie Britt's State of the Union response even worse than Marco Rubio's?

It negated everything. That's all anyone remembers. It didn't just negate his response, it negated his whole political future.

There's a vast difference between drinking water on stage when you're casually delivering hour long speeches, vs having to inhale a whole bottle of water five seconds into your formal address to the nation. He panicked.

It says more than any focused grouped words he's reading from the teleprompter could ever say. It says he's a choker. Trump's words.

Anyone who drinks water during a State of the Union response is not fit to be president.

Katie Britt’s Republican response to Joe Biden’s State of the Union address drew reactions ranging from the baffled to the satirical to the appalled, even among fellow rightwingers.

“What the hell am I watching right now?” an unnamed Trump adviser told Rolling Stone.

“It’s one of our biggest disasters ever,” another unnamed Republican strategist told the Daily Beast.

Charlie Kirk, founder of the far-right Turning Point USA youth group, said: “I’m sure Katie Britt is a sweet mom and person, but this speech is not what we need. 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’.”

That pointed to widespread confusion over the setting for such a figure to give such an important speech: a kitchen.

As a Gallup poll showed 57% of American voters think the US would be better off if more women were in elected office, Alyssa Farah Griffin, a Trump aide turned never-Trumper, said: “Senator Katie Britt is a very impressive person … I do not understand the decision to put her in a KITCHEN for one of the most important speeches she’s ever given.”

Speaking to CNN, Griffin added: “The staging of this was bizarre to me. Women can be both wives and mothers and also stateswomen, so to put her in a kitchen, not at a podium or in the Senate chamber where she was elected after running a hard-fought race, I think fell very flat and was completely confusing to some women watching it.”

Allie Beth Stuckey, host of the Relatable podcast, which “analyses culture, news and politics from a biblical perspective”, said: “Ok, GOP. Never again. I know y’all were going for the relatable mom speaking in her kitchen from her heart, but it didn’t work. Just a straight, strong speech will do in the future. Thanks.”

Kirk asked followers if they liked the speech. Blue-ticked conservative verdicts included “Man, it was so disappointing”, “No, very babysitter-reading-a-bedtime story-like”, “way too dramatic”, and “the up and down emotion was bizarre”.

Among satirical responses, Tom Nichols, an anti-Trump conservative columnist, spoke for many when he said: “There is no way that this Katie Britt address does not end up as part of the Saturday Night Live cold open.”

Elsewhere, the gonzo filmmaker Tom Arnold said: “Katie Britt is so bad she couldn’t be in one of my movies.”

Julia Ioffe, Washington correspondent for Puck News, said: “Imagine you’re sleeping over at a friend’s house and you get up in the middle of the night to pee and you hear a weird sound so you follow it to the kitchen, where your friend’s mom is drunk, crying, and rambling about the national debt. Those are the vibes from Katie Britt right now.”

From the other side of the political spectrum, however, the gun control advocate Shannon Watts highlighted a darker side to Britt’s performance, as expressed in a particularly lurid passage.

With wavering voice, the senator described meeting a migrant woman who she said described being “sex trafficked by the cartels starting at the age of 12” and who, Britt said, spoke of being repeatedly raped “on a mattress in a shoebox of a room”.

Watts said: “Senator Katie Britt says sexual assault is the worst thing that can happen to a woman while encouraging Americans to vote for a convicted sexual predator.”

wow, what a dumb bitch

There was nothing wrong, ill-considered, or awkward about what she said, the way she said it, and the fact she was in her kitchen. People of all stripes love to criticize others and most of them do it to draw attention to themselves. Especially pundits and politicians.

She was speaking from her heart and those things needed to be said and she spoke them well.

People who can't handle a little emotion would do well to get a transcript and read that. It might help them understand the content. Too many people judge books by their cover. Did anyone criticize her hair or the color of her dress? Stupid people abound in the political realm. I don't pay attention to them – should you?

I guess @KatieBrittforAL idolized a character named Ridgeway in the book "The Underground Railroad" in which the character Ridgeway was on a mission to capture runaway slaves so much that she named her son the same name. Maybe one day, her son will ask her why.

Katie named her son Ridgeway. The character Ridgeway in the book "Underground Railroad" is a sadist who enjoys inflicting pain on his victims. He believes in the righteousness of slavery. He takes great pride in his skill at capturing runaway slaves.

I recommend some college classes where you can learn about philosophy and logic.

   were so can learn
   where to can learn
   where so fan learn
   where so car learn

             ?

You think you scored by pointing out a typo?

You can't help yourself, can you? Dumb stuff comes out of you nonstop like you're a 12 year old. I recommend some college classes where so can learn about philosophy and logic.
