Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., has been having an interesting week. After being raked over the coals in all corners of the news and entertainment sphere — including "The View" — for her bizarre "tradwife" response to President Biden's State of the Union address on Thursday, a journalist has pieced together that she took some creative liberties with a story she told during her speech, which she framed as a slam against the president although the event she described apparently took place years before he was in office, and didn't happen quite like she told it.
During her kitchen-side rebuttal, Britt recounted a trip to the Del Rio sector of the Texas border where she paints a picture of a conversation had with a person believed to be Karla Jacinto Romero, who was sex trafficked in Mexico — not the United States, as the senator suggested — from 2004 to 2008, twenty years before Biden became president, per CNBC's coverage of journalist Jonathan Katz's sleuthing.
