After a State of the Union rebuttal that even some in her own party felt embarrassed by, Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) is trying to use that backlash to her advantage, writing in a fundraising email Tuesday that her “heart is broken” for those she said she was speaking on behalf of.

“Following my speech, the far-left media didn’t waste a second flooding the airwaves with despicable, disgusting messages about me,” the email read. “They attacked my character.

They attacked my faith. They attacked my identity as a mother and a wife.”

Britt’s stunted delivery earned mockery from The Daily Show, Saturday Night Live, and even Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel. On Fox News, one host took a different view, insisting Britt did a “great job” and was “natural.” But that wasn’t enough to prevent her from writing that her “heart is broken.”

The dishonest leftist media coming from the person who made up a story about a sex traffic victim. When all else fails throw in the "I'm being persecuted" card.

They attacked my faith. They attacked my identity as a mother and a wife.

You did that to yourself dumbass.

Further showing her poor character, along with not getting her facts straight and blaming things on the wrong people. Totally someone else's fault though...

They even said "Get back in the kitchen" - wait no, that was our own side.

I am pissed off by her "Redcoat claims to be patriot" crap.

How do you attack the "mother and wife" identity of a person? Do you bring her on Maury and he takes out his paper and reads:

You are not the mother. Crowd goes 😮

[-] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

By allowing other women to make different decisions than she would. Allowing trans people to exist destroys her identity as a woman because other women might be different or have different experiences. Allowing others to get an abortion destroys her identity as a mother because if they made a different choice and thought it was right for them... how can she ever know if her own decision was right? Or maybe she was never afforded a choice and so seeks to deprive others of what she was denied.

I admit it seems you looked harder into her speech. I just hear Republican word salad and her shrugging off criticism as an affront to her identity.

It is terrible how these people view the actions of others as infringing on their own lifestyle. If they just thought less about what others do; they would be much happier themselves.

Well, maybe her kids tried to go on the Jerry Springer show with her,

[-] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

They had their fingers crossed the whole time.

I do want to point out that the King of Trash TV passed away last year. It's not my favorite genre but Springer did pioneer it.
