Katie Britt, Republicans think Americans are stupid. 8 cartoons about State of Union response

Katie Britt showed what Republicans are

Alabama Sen. Katie Britt, like all Republicans, thinks Americans are stupid.

What other rationale could there be for her trying to pass off someone else’s 20-year-old sex trafficking story as an anecdote about the supposed effects of Joe Biden’s supposed weak border policies?

What’s even more weird than her bizarre act after the State of the Union however is that if anything this anecdote demonstrates how soulless Republican immigration extremism actually is.

Not about protecting kids. Ohioans will be hacked, swatted, if porn ID bill passes, adult industry veteran says

Why do Republicans think so many are so desperate to escape places like Mexico and Venezuela?

Democrats’ policies leave room for American charity, to enable women and children being sex trafficked by cartels to escape to a better life. Republican border extremism would doom many people like the woman whose story Britt abused for political gain to fates as bad or worse.

Katie Britt’s ridiculous, dishonest performance perfectly encapsulates the modern Republican party’s absolute soullessness. Republicans don’t care about the truth, or women, or children, or working families, or anyone. All they ever care about — their sole single priority — is tax cuts for the rich.
