After a State of the Union rebuttal that even some in her own party felt embarrassed by, Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) is trying to use that backlash to her advantage, writing in a fundraising email Tuesday that her “heart is broken” for those she said she was speaking on behalf of.
“Following my speech, the far-left media didn’t waste a second flooding the airwaves with despicable, disgusting messages about me,” the email read. “They attacked my character.
They attacked my faith. They attacked my identity as a mother and a wife.”
Britt’s stunted delivery earned mockery from The Daily Show, Saturday Night Live, and even Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel. On Fox News, one host took a different view, insisting Britt did a “great job” and was “natural.” But that wasn’t enough to prevent her from writing that her “heart is broken.”
By allowing other women to make different decisions than she would. Allowing trans people to exist destroys her identity as a woman because other women might be different or have different experiences. Allowing others to get an abortion destroys her identity as a mother because if they made a different choice and thought it was right for them… how can she ever know if her own decision was right? Or maybe she was never afforded a choice and so seeks to deprive others of what she was denied.
I admit it seems you looked harder into her speech. I just hear Republican word salad and her shrugging off criticism as an affront to her identity.
It is terrible how these people view the actions of others as infringing on their own lifestyle. If they just thought less about what others do; they would be much happier themselves.
