Katie Britt's hometown newspaper shreds her Rep response to the State of the Union last night

'MAGA failure Senator Katie Britt gets brutally shredded by her hometown newspaper for her deeply bizarre, roundly mocked response to President Biden's State of the Union address.
"Don’t adjust your television. What we saw wasn’t an AI deepfake. That was Katie Britt. That speech happened. But don’t call it real," begins the ruthless piece by columnist Kyle Whitmire.
The editorial appeared on AL.com, the website for the publisher of The Birmingham News and The Huntsville Times.
"The junior Senator from Alabama gave up being genuine a while back, and on Thursday night, her phoniness rose to the surface in full view of millions of Americans," Whitmire went on.
He explained that there is no single quote from Britt's disastrous speech that "can convey the strangeness of it" but said that "the mismatched emotions, the smiles in the wrong places, the jaw clenched when it shouldn’t have been" came together to create an "indescribable weirdness."
Whitmire went on to say that that it felt like "postmodernism, avant-garde performance art" or even "an involuntary behavioral science experiment."
"Katie Britt glitched out on national television and left millions of Americans asking what the heck they just watched," he wrote, perfectly encapsulating what many of us felt watching last night.
"All she had to do was look into the camera and read, but she tried to do more. Too much more," he went on, slamming the disturbing attempt to turn her into "America's mom."
Instead, wrote Whitmire, Britt ended up coming across as "the aunt who’s been spending too much time on Facebook, and if you don’t change the subject soon, she’s going to tell you about sex dungeons beneath the pizza parlor."
And it wasn't just the deeply off-putting delivery of the speech that felt wrong, it was the content itself, which Whitmire compared to something "written by ChatGPT."
Whitmire then pivoted to slamming Britt for whining about "illegal immigration and the border," observing that it was "as phony as her smile" because in reality she voted to kill the bipartisan border bill because Trump ordered her to.
He then by ripped into her for pretending to care about sex trafficking while supporting an avowed sexual predator for the presidency.
Whitmire then capped it all off with a simple question that crystalized just how fake Britt came across: "Was she ever real?
Incredibly well said!'
