Some people are saying that Katie definitely has an advanced STD, and that it has affected her brain

The Twister world champion

The host of “Fox News Sunday,” Shannon Bream, asked Britt if she meant to “give the impression that this horrible story happened on President Biden’s watch.” Britt replied “no” before defensively explaining that she was speaking about the executive actions on the border that Biden took in his first 100 days as president.

They went so easy on her! Could have been much harsher! 'Craziest mommy in the target parking lot" has made me laugh so many times today!!

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Sen. Katie Boyd Britt (R-Ala.), who delivered the Republican rebuttal to President Biden’s State of the Union address, pushed back against criticisms that she falsely linked a harrowing account of a young woman’s sex trafficking to Biden’s immigration policies, even though the abuse happened nearly 20 years ago and in Mexico.

The host of “Fox News Sunday,” Shannon Bream, asked Britt if she meant to “give the impression that this horrible story happened on President Biden’s watch.”

As her communications director told The Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler, the anecdote was about Karla Jacinto Romero, who has testified before Congress about being forced to work in Mexican brothels from 2004 to 2008.

There is no indication in her story that drug cartels were involved, though Britt said that in the State of the Union response and has made a similar claim on at least one other occasion.

Romero was never trafficked to the United States; instead, she said many men who paid to have sex with her were “foreigners visiting my city looking to have sexual interactions with minors like me.”

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was asked Sunday about Britt’s remarks during an appearance on ABC News’s “This Week.”
