delivered the Republican rebuttal to Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on Thursday, in which she blasted the president’s economic and immigration policies., including by many members of her own party. Now questions are being raised about whether Britt intentionally distorted one of her most salient anecdotes.
The story implied that the events took place under Biden’s watch and in the United States, since the 42-year-old senator entered office in Jan. 2023.After watching Britt’s speech, Katz said, “I immediately had questions. Who was this woman? How did meet her? How did she get her to tell her this story?”
For the first three months of their relationship, she recalled, her abuser treated her well, but he eventually “forced me to work the streets for his own gain. For years and years I was coerced, intimidated, threatened, beaten, robbed of my children, and emotionally and sexually violated time and time again.”
Still, he said, if Britt was indeed referring to Romero in her State of the Union rebuttal, her telling of the facts was “fundamentally dishonest. It goes beyond misleading.”
