Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) tried to diffuse her SOTU rebuttal disaster on Sunday, and it didn't go over properly.
Right here's how Britt defined deceptive the American folks along with her intercourse trafficking story on Fox Information Sunday:
BREEAM: So let's be clear, the story you're telling is just not one thing that may have occurred beneath the Biden administration, that exact particular person?
Britt: I – properly, I very – I stated very frankly, I spoke to a girl who instructed me that she was trafficked when she was 12 years outdated. So I didn't say teenager, I didn't say adolescent younger lady, an grownup lady, a girl who was trafficked when she was 12 years outdated. And so listening to her story, she's a sufferer's rights advocate – who's stating that what the drug cartels are doing is that they're simply taking advantage of ladies. And it's disgusting. And so I hope this brings some mild to it. And we are able to truly do one thing about human trafficking. And that's truly what the media decides to cowl.
