Alabama Senator Katie Britt slammed President Joe Biden on border security, calling him a “dithering and diminished leader” in her response to the State of the Union.
But, it was her own emotional and indignant speech that was widely mocked as “dramatic,” “creepy,” and “insincere” online.
Ms Britt, who at 42 is the youngest Republican woman to serve in the US Senate, was chosen to deliver the opposition party’s rebuttal speech to the president’s address.
Ms Britt sat at her kitchen table as she eviscerated Mr Biden on a wide range of issues, including the conflicts in the Middle East, the economy, and the “American dream” becoming a “nightmare”.
But her main focus, as it is for many Republicans, was the US’s southern border with Mexico.
