LOADINGERROR LOADING. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) found her name trending on social media on Thursday night, but perhaps not for reasons she may have wanted.. Britt delivered the Republican rebuttal to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address from her kitchen with theatrical flourishes, such as taking a deep, dramatic breath after using the word “breathtaking.”.

In one short stretch, her tone shifted from happy and nearly laughing to nearly tearful and then angry:. a snippet from Katie Britt’s overly dramatic rebuttal. i will say that she is the best Alabama senator. pic.twitter.com/9Fm8h4yUA8. — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) March 8, 2024. If the speech was theatrical, plenty of people were ready to play critic ― and many of them panned the unusual approach:. This is some *deeply* weird shit. Can these MAGA people not even pretend to be normal for a few minutes on television? https://t.co/agz3YHesdz. — Dan Cluchey (@dancluchey) March 8, 2024. Advertisement.

Look, this Katie Britt address – breathy, theatrical, on the verge of tears – is completely weird, very coached and like a high school acting audition. But you have to remember that these people know their base, and the base is going to *love* this.. — Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) March 8, 2024. Sen.

Brooklyn & Rideway deserve answers. pic.twitter.com/iq107sGa8a. — Casey (she/her) (@MamaSissieSays) March 8, 2024. Seems like republicans thought just ‘put the young one in the kitchen & it’ll all be fine.’ It’s not fine. She’s sweaty nervous & over-acting. Also lying a bit. https://t.co/QX3kdhSwfq. — Jennifer Schulze (@NewsJennifer) March 8, 2024.

Looking forward to this weekends SNL. — Maile (@MailePRMedia) March 8, 2024. Nothing says Republican party more than the fact that they had a female Senator give this speech while placed in the kitchen. https://t.co/gh6BKxKVn8. — Bob Geiger (@GeigerNews) March 8, 2024. Katie Britt sounds like a Stepford Senator as Republicans keep their streak going of guessing wrong with their rebuttal talking points, “President Biden just doesn’t get it. He’s out of touch under his administration, families are worse off our communities are less safe.” pic.twitter.com/h0zyykz58t. — Sarah Reese Jones (@PoliticusSarah) March 8, 2024. Kate Britt representing the GOP response with the biggest overacting job I’ve ever seen.
