  2. They should’ve had her in an apron standing at the oven.

  3. I’ve been trying to figure out who Katie Britt was channeling … Shannon Doherty in Heathers.

  4. Biden pulled out the king of the hill meme by saying “I know you know how to read.”.

    If they could read they’d be very upset.

  5. I can only assume Katie Britt is now off to make some Totinos for her hungry guys

  6. Imagine being able to nominate Haley and win in a landslide and then just not doing that. Lol

  7. That response creeped me the fuck out. Stepford on steroids

  8. At least they’re cognizant enough to slam the brakes on banning IVF… for now. We’ll see how that holds up once Project 2025 gives them a taste of that unlimited power they crave.

  9. It’s kind of ironic – Katie Britt just aborted her political future before it came to term.

  10. That was bizarre enough that I will have trouble sleeping tonight.

  11. NPR doesn’t even care to comment on this bizarre response.

  12. The tone of her speech reminded me of a “save the animals“ commercial.

  14. I don’t know if I will be able to sleep after watching her. I just keep hearing her breathy whisper in my head.

  15. Let’s check in with her kids in about 10 years or so.

  16. Sarah Newlin character from True Blood could never be a real politician. Katie Britt: Hold on now…

  18. This lady just praying for Gilead. May the lord open, psychopath.

  19. What… the…. did someone hire a mentally Ill reality extra to deliver this??? I feel so….. confused

  21. Fox News is the most interesting watch after these. Just crazy how they are scared to show fill clips. They cut out right as Biden mentioned the numbers behind the border bill.

  23. Oh look, the GOP putting a woman forth to catch their own arrows.

  24. When everybody is calling out the response as fucked up, then you know it was bad.

  27. What the hell else is Pelosi gonna say? I mean, Biden did great but have people with better perspective on.

  28. Anyone notice she used the word “rape” more than “bill” or “tax” or “law”

  29. So clearly fake. Not one idea to contrast Biden’s policy points all fear mongering. What a scary shameless response.

  30. I was going to make popcorn for the response. Glad I didn’t. Wouldn’t have been worth it.

  31. Even the conservative subreddit is wholly embarrassed by that rebuttal. That was a surreal experience.

  33. That was the cringiest pile of pandering pablum I’ve ever seen. Just unreal.

  34. She sounded like all the trolls I see on the comments section. So cringe like she has no idea what’s actually going on

  35. That lady at the end was hilariously bad, her emotion seemed very forced and the crap she was saying just I couldn’t stop laughing.
