“One of our biggest disasters ever”: Republicans “f**king losing it” over Katie Britt SOTU response – By Tatyana Tandanpolie (Salon) / March 8, 2024
Republican delivered “campiest, creepiest SOTU response in history,” critics say
Sen. Katie Britt’s, R-Ala., official Republican response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address Thursday night turned heads — but not for any of the right reasons.
The freshman senator’s high-profile rebuttal was stern in its focus on immigration and the state of the economy — two key sticking points against the president — but had a bizarre delivery, according to The Daily Beast. Its dramatic cadence and beige-toned kitchen backdrop left political operatives and observers unsure of what to make of it.
Britt’s performance was so unnerving that some Republicans watched “with a grimace,” the Daily Beast reports. A GOP strategist even told the outlet that gossip about Britt’s delivery quickly circulated among operatives connected to Donald Trump, which could have an impact on her consideration as his running mate.
“Everyone’s f—king losing it,” the Republican, granted anonymity discuss private conversations, told the Daily Beast. “It’s one of our biggest disasters ever.”
