President Biden gave a barn-burner State of the Union address last night, and the official Republican response was done by Senator Katie Britt, who filmed from her beige kitchen and spoke absolute nonsense. Apparently, Republicans are freaking out about how badly Sen. Britt did and how well Biden did. [The Daily Beast]

Sen 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.

Katie Britt supporting a rich, white rapist from her kitchen while scapegoating migrants and wearing a cross couldn’t be more on brand.

“Into the late hours of the night, Rolling Stone was inundated with messages from GOP operatives, right-leaning pollsters, conservative Capitol Hill staff and members of Trump’s campaign absolutely torching Katie Britt’s absurdly over-dramatic rebuttal.” https://t.co/X3kWJIvg8T

There is nothing going on behind the those brown eyes.ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BUT PURE GARBAGE.
For a woman to support the current GOP, they have to be absolutely soulless or possibly lobotomized.
Most of the crap she breathlessly spoke about were out right lies. Also, please tell me what the republicans plans are for helping people barely making ends meet, gas prices, childcare costs, choosing between food and meds? Pls tell me I would love to hear it.
Did she speak from her kitchen because the Senate isn’t allowing women in the building any more? Is she also barefoot & pregnant? Shoot, high school freshman could do better. Way to go, Alabama! You’re showing us, again, why you’re always ranked last in everything.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
Roll tide!
Ugh! On the one hand I LOVE how this made her look So Bad! On the other, I am right there with you, Beaniebean! Another stellar politician for Alabama. Grrr.
Um…er…isn’t her hubby an ex-pro football player or something? Yeah, they are an ever-so average and struggling American famblee…🙄🙄
Y’all have to watch this brilliant takedown of that lying ass woman.

Thank you for that link bluenailsbetty. Scorching!!🔥
These people are nuts! And if that same woman had gotten pregnant, they’d force her to carry the baby to term regardless of what she wanted and what was best for her.
Katie Britt – LOLZ 😆
We need more Katie Britt satires, here’s one. Illegal tacos are coming! She wore green so I hope there are green screen edits of this melodramatic mess..

OMG, that’s hilarious.
Bridgestone & Esther!! OMG, that older kid of hers is really going to get teased at school! Assuming, of course, she sends them to school. Probably not, because they have books other than the Bible.
Somedays the Internet is the enemy, and some days it’s all that’s keeping us sane.
For me, it was Katie Britt’s attempt at full melodrama clashing with what must be a rigorous dedication to Botox. The eeriness of her forehead completely not moving while trying to convey passion was something out of a dystopian sci-fi.
Total melodrama, Jais. Total melodrama. I felt like I was watching a f*cked up hybrid of Norma Desmond and every Lifetime movie villainess ever.
Her voice kept almost cracking into a crying fit, while I lost count of the number of times she just outright bared her teeth at us. After the first half, I turned the sound off and just watched her face, which was scary as hell.
Something tells me that as of this morning, she is not a “rising star” in the Republican party anymore.
She legit scared me with one of those facial transitions I thought she was going to eat us all.
Yo, didn’t Lifetime say they were moving away from these kinds of “danger when a woman blinks” movies ‘n stuff? 😂😂
So the GOPers and MAGA crowd is bigly mad at OfDonald’s rebuttal …YOU PICKED HER!!!
I haven’t liked Charlize since her obnoxious behavior towards Tia Mowry at the gym.
She’s an “I’m not like other girls”.
It was her use of tricks that really drove me nuts. She would intentionally falter and looked at the side, like she was trying to find her next word, but you could tell it was just a manipulating mannerism that was intended to come across as folksy. She was way over rehearsed and cheesy. A bad monologue from an intro to acting class.
Yes! It was so transparently fake. It was bad acting. The worst actress in the worst Hallmark movie looks like Meryl Streep by comparison.
If those immigrants are so freaking scary why did Alabama Barbie vote against the bipartisan border bill?
LBJ said that if you can get the lowest white person to look down on another class of people, they don’t see you picking their pockets.
This!
The entire Republican response to the speech last night was utterly shameful. THEY COULDN’T EVEN APPLAUD for ending political violence. They have NOTHING to offer America, while trying to obstruct everything that IS offered up. Vote them OUT, America~vote them ALL out. Stop contributing to their campaigns. Stop giving them your time & attention. Focus on what, truly, kind of world you want to leave for your Descendents. Demand that the media do their freaking JOBS by reporting the impartial truth, not lying by omission.
Gotta love it when Republicans desperately try for more women and POC voters. They always screw it up. Always. 🤣🙄
It was like watching the marriage of a bad high school play to a Sally Struthers’ trembling voice Feed the Children commercial (no offense to Sally Struthers).
That Katie Britt well-rehearsed speech was the most bizarre thing I have ever seen. She was placed in the kitchen, I suppose to appeal to the Republican Stepford wives, and mentioned making dinner. She spoke of her kids, again appealing to Republican mommies out there, not anyone that was interested in actual issues. The over-acting was so obviously practiced in front of a mirror to make her seem what she thought was convincing. If this is the best the Republican party can pull out of their asses, God help us.
I think it is no coincidence that during a period where trad wives are being proliferated on social media, the GOP picked their most trad wife-like politician to give the SOTU rebuttal. Which makes it all that more hilarious that she bombed and even conservatives were furious with her, lol. Further, it is just a reminder that the schtick doesn’t work outside of the carefully curated consumer-driven content that trad wife social media often aligns with.
I read she started off by making a comment about women thinking about how they’re going to ‘do it all.’ Like I don’t even know where to begin with that comment. So many, many things wrong with it. Shut up, Katie!
She was doing the official response in her kitchen. All she needed was to be wearing pearls with an apron and we’d officially be back in a ’50s sitcom.
I was like what is this trad wife, Betty Draper nonsense?! This is what the GOP thinks of women and where they should be?!
Betty Draper and Lucy Ricardo (the only 50’s housewife I will watch) would both scoff at this bitch. Remember Betty wanted an abortion, and Lucy married a Cuban guy.
Betty was a 1950s housewife, but I wouldn’t call her “trad” specifically because she was raised rich and didn’t ever really do her own housework or cooking. She was more of a trad socialite than trad wife. Lucy wasn’t trad at all. She was a housewife, but her husband was a night club entertainer, and they lived an urban lifestyle. She was never submissive.
Heh–Betty Draper was one mean hand with a shotgun, however…😉
I cannot wait for SNL’s take on Katie Britt….
SAME – lol! It looked like a damn anti-depressant commercial, with the vacillating moods, seriously. So insane, creepy, and bizarre.
This response was creepy and crazy. It was like Aunt Lydia on speed. Also she was so long winded and full of sh*t. What I found insulting is with all the damage they’ve done to women’s reproductive rights, but think they can say they’ll keep IVF legal, when the House just rejected a similar resolution, shows what lying hypocrites they are. Total pandering and insulting our intelligence . Going between fake smiles and tears. Can’t wait to see the SNL parody of this farce.
This really great response to Sen. Britt ( from a woman in AL who knows people who knows KB) was posted on TikTok : https://www.tiktok.com/@laurenpcrna/video/7344107884852120874
Of course she would be a Senator from Alabama; where the requirements for being elected are simply: white, ignorant, and Republican. Pathetic.
Speaking of sleepy-eyed hotties, I should have watched One Day wearing a bib bc Leo Woodall makes me almost drool, I’m ashamed to say! 😂 Too old for him but dayyum.
Loving this Zendaya look! I have not been crazy about a lot of the premiere looks they’ve had her in. She’s way too cool to just drape a sheer dress over her. I love this denim paired with futuristic top and choker look.
I love it as well. It feels like the closest look to who she really is (but that’s a total guess!).
Same! I can’t know, but I think of her as more unique and interesting than generic sexy.
A friend sent me this video and I half-watched it while multi-tasking. I thought it was a comedy sketch. Honestly. This is the best they’ve got? And it was filmed in her kitchen? What is this country coming to?
I’m dying over the look Biden gave when he caught sight of Margerine Tater Grease. Buzzfeed has a good round up in it 🙂😳😬😧🤢
Thanks to all of you for watching so that I don’t have to. I’ve stop watching the GOP rebuttal since the days of Bobby Gindal. The GOP — lord help us! This country musta done something real horrid in the past to be saddle with that dumpster fire..
Look on the bright side, guys: Britt can join Bobby Jindal, Marco Rubio, and Paul Ryan as the new “rising star” of the Republican party who crashes and burns in the response to the state of the union. Personally, my favourite is still Marco and his loooooooong sip of water while maintaining eye contact with the camera. Who do we think will play her on SNL?
Given Britt’s crazy eyes, I’d bet Kate McKinnon hands down…😂
The Republican Party has only destruction and suffering to offer this country. This woman is a pretty perfect representative. I am appalled and disgusted all the same…
KB’s manner of speaking struck me as so odd then I saw what others pointed out: it’s classic female fundie delivery. Think of the way Michelle Dugger speaks – that breathy, preachy, sing-songy voice. They’re all about playing that gentle, subservient female role.
All that was missing was a cross and having her in the kitchen. Oh wait…
Oh yeah. It’s telegraphing: I’m a woman, hence God made me genetically soft, emotional, nurturing, non-threatening – and all that crap.
Wow. That’s some spooky MAGA shit right there.
[*Complete with the cross necklace.*]
SNL (i.e. via Scarlett Johannson) mocked Britt’s speech– and it was glorious!
