Rising Republican star Katie Britt shreds Biden on border, rising costs in SOTU rebuttal

Alabama Sen. Katie Britt slammed President Biden as a “dithering and diminished leader” — and lashed out at his handling of the migrant crisis in a no-holds-barred GOP rebuttal to the State of the Union address.

Britt, a first-term senator viewed as a rising star in the Republican Party, sat at her kitchen table as she warned of a dismal future for America if Biden is elected for a second term.

The country we know and love seems to be slipping away, and it feels like the next generation will have fewer opportunities – and less freedoms than we did. I worry my own children may not even get a shot at living their American Dreams, Britt said. 5 Senator Katie Britt delivers the Republican response to Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on March 7, 2024.

The 42-year-old mom-of-two, who has made immigration a top issue, also ripped Biden on his border policy, calling it a disgrace that has led to record numbers of migrants pouring into the US. 5 Britt then sought to pick apart Biden’s policies, starting with the ongoing crisis at the southern border that’s seen a historic number of migrants cross into the US.

Mr. President, enough is enough. Innocent Americans are dying and you only have yourself to blame. Fulfill your oath of office, Britt said. Reverse your policies and this crisis and stop the suffering.
