Katie Britt’s best meme: The internet fuels chaos at Republican State of the Union address

If you didn’t hang around after Joe Biden’s State of the Union address last night, you missed the worst post-credits scene in history. Here’s the official Republican response, hosted by Katie Britt and broadcast live from her kitchen table. . As you can imagine, there was a huge reaction on the internet.

I had never heard of Katie Britt until yesterday, but as a woman named Britt, I feel a responsibility to denounce this harbinger of many Handmaid’s Tales to come. Katie Britt is a U.S. senator from Alabama and winner of the Republican Party’s Next Top Model award. That said, she was chosen to deliver the party’s 17-minute response to Biden’s State of the Union. (This was more of a list of promises Biden won’t keep than an update on what America is up to, but it makes me feel like I have no choice but to vote for Biden in November.) We all want to believe it’s gotten better.)

Katie Britt sits at her kitchen table like the mother from a peanut butter ad or a late-night infomercial for tax preparation software (numbers are too hard for my soft female brain!). He delivered a bizarre monologue about a number of words that literally took your breath away. opportunity. Serious question: Was Katie Britt a publicist before she became a politician? She has that vibe.

Katie Britt, who refuses to speak by her last name, called Biden “faced with what real families face around the kitchen table, just like this family.” He called him a “capricious and degenerate leader” who did not understand.Katie Britt said America’s “families are hurting” but didn’t specify exactly how The current administration’s policies are hurting families. But she rambled for several minutes about the border and violent immigration. This is strange because she is convinced that racist, misogynistic white men with guns are the greatest threat to public safety. But please go away, Queen.

Anyway, here are some of the internet’s best reactions to Katie Britt’s performance.
