"Katie" Britt's Estrogen-Laden Response to the SOTU

Who picks the Republican to give the response to State of the Union addresses?

In the last nine responses to a State of the Union address (one “Address to Congress”) Republicans have chosen a woman or minority. This year, it was a tearful Sen. Katie Britt, literally sitting at a kitchen table, presumably because a nursery school wasn’t available.

The last white male to give the response was Mitch Daniels in 2012. Coincidentally, it was the last decent one.

You sure know your voters, GOP!

This would be like Democrats refusing to give any jobs to women or minorities, as opposed to what they actually do, which is give all jobs to women and minorities.

WE’RE NOT THE PARTY OF IDENTITY POLITICS, YOU UTTER IMBECILES.

The GOP cannot learn. They keep hauling out someone who checks a demographic box the Republicans are having trouble with, who proceeds to soak the speech in personal biography instead of substance. 

For added cringe, Sen. “Katie” Britt decided to drench her speech in estrogen. Children, kitchen table, more children, worried moms, we support IVF because family familyness, need to get dinner on the kitchen table….All this delivered in an overwrought manner that will be used to teach students in the first week of Acting class what “overacting” is.

(And once you became a senator, Katie, you should’ve become “Kate.” We don’t have senators “Billy,” “Timmy” and “Mikey.”)

Substantively, it was Casey DeSantis crossed with Nikki Haley, delivered by a whimpering woman.

For the love of God, quit it already with the kitchens, dining room tables, fireplaces, living rooms, sofas, or anything else warm, fuzzy and cozy. It’s politics, for crying out loud. Normal people want politicians working to make their lives better, not emoting with us — least of all with the completely unbelievable story about her “sitting around the kitchen table” trying to figure out how her family can ever get by on her $174,000 base salary, PLUS premium health care for her whole family, PLUS a gigantic pension (which no longer exists anywhere in America except for teachers).

Doesn’t her husband have a job, too? If he’s a soy-boy house husband, that’s another reason she should not be the face of the GOP. Or any American family.
