Republicans should be mortified. In fact, by all accounts, they are.
Rolling Stone featured an entire article quoting Republican reactions to Alabama Sen. Katie Britt’s embarrassing response to the president’s State of the Union speech. Describing the speech as “feeling more like a rejected audition tape for a supporting role on ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’” delivered from a kitchen in Alabama, the magazine recounted being “inundated, sometimes completely unprompted, with messages from longtime GOP operatives, right-leaning pollsters, conservative Capitol Hill staff, MAGA lawyers, and even some senior members of Trump’s own 2024 campaign absolutely torching Britt’s absurdly overdramatic rebuttal.”
As Charlie Kirk tweeted, “Joe Biden just declared war on the American right and Katie Britt is talking like she’s hosting a cooking show whispering about how Democrats ‘don’t get it.’ ”
In fact, it was Republicans who didn’t get it. They remained glued to their chairs as the president called on his audience to stand up for a procedure that allows American women to choose life — to stand up for reproductive freedom and IVF, in response to the justices from Katie Britt’s home state.
It was Joe Biden who looked straight at the justices from the United States Supreme Court and warned them of the political power that women will exercise in the next election. “With all due respect, justices, women are not without electoral and political power,” he said. “You’re about to find out just how much they have.”
