President Biden’s State of the Union address did not sit well with many Republicans and they did not fail to express themselves.
Senator Katie Britt of Alabama did not shy away from giving her opinion, as she gave ominous warnings about illegal immigration.
“Our commander in chief is not in command,” Ms. Britt said. “The free world deserves better than a dithering and diminished leader.”
She spoke in grim detail about a child victim of sex trafficking by drug cartels and the recent killing of a Georgia nursing student in which a Venezuelan migrant has been charged.
“That could’ve been my daughter,” Ms. Britt said. “It could’ve been yours.”
“Under his administration, families are worse off — our communities are less safe, and our country is less secure,” she said. “I just wish he understood what real families are facing around kitchen tables just like this one.”
Mr. Trump praised her speech.
“Katie Britt was a GREAT contrast to an Angry, and obviously very Disturbed, ‘President,’” he wrote on his social media site. “She was compassionate and caring, especially concerning Women and Women’s Issues. Her conversation on Migrant Crime was powerful and insightful. Great job Katie!”
Ms. Britt won her first public office in 2022, becoming the first female senator elected in Alabama and the youngest Republican woman elected to the chamber.
Ms. Britt repeatedly brought up families and her children in her speech.
“The country we know and love seems to be slipping away — it feels like the next generation will have fewer opportunities and less freedom than we did,” she said. “I worry my own children may not even get a shot at living their American dreams.”
