'What the Hell Am I Watching': Republicans Torch Their Own SOTU Rebuttal

Katie Britt, the junior Republican senator from Alabama, delivered the GOP's rebuttal to President Joe Biden's address on Thursday. Her impassioned, breathless speech - delivered at times in an ASMR-esque whisper from what appeared to be her kitchen - ended up feeling more like a rejected audition tape for a supporting role on "Grey's Anatomy" than the hard-hitting political sparring favored by Biden's Republican critics

"What the hell am I watching right now?" a Trump adviser asked, mid-Britt remarks.

"Creepy," one of the Republican pollsters noted.

A lawyer working in the Trump orbit says the performance reminded them of public-access television, and a senior House congressional aide remarks that it was "cringe"-inducing to watch and likely destined to be turned into a "lame [Saturday Night Live] skit" this weekend.

"I'll give Biden this - he at least gave a better speech than Katie Britt," one national Republican consultant said bluntly.

Online, the reaction from conservative commentators was similar.

"I'm sure Katie Britt is a sweet mom and person, but this speech is not what we need," TPUSA Founder Charlie Kirk wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "Joe Biden just declared war on the American right and Katie Britt is talking like she's hosting a cooking show whispering about how Democrats ‘dont get it.'"

Podcast host Allie Beth Stuckey pleaded "never again" to her fellow Republicans: "I know y'all were going for the relatable mom speaking in her kitchen from her heart, but it didn't work. Just a straight, strong speech will do in the future. Thanks."

OMG that was cringe. I thought she was going to burst into tears at several points. And she's a rising star in the GOP? Their bar is set pretty low.
 
IOW, Republicans continue to "Republican"... they WANT to be losers. It's soooooo infuriating........

That SOTU response was maybe even more cringeworthy than Biden's horrific SOTU address itself, and THAT'S saying something...

All Republicans had to do to "win" was to have any normal person within their ranks provide a normal and sane response that hit on the issues of: Joe Biden's unsustainably high cost of living, Joe Biden's green new scam (make mention of the farmer protests in Europe and how Democrats want to implement those same destructive policies here in this nation), Joe Biden's high crime, a reminder of what Joe Biden did to legal citizens during the "pandemic" re: "get jabbed or get unemployed", and highlight the consequences of Joe Biden's migrant invasion (Laken Riley death). They should've had Donald Trump deliver it... or J.D. Vance... or ANYONE else who could've acted like a grown adult who wasn't constantly on the verge of fake tears.

But instead the Republican "powers that be" purposely chose a young girl who failed her high school drama class to deliver the speech in a very cringey manner because the "professionally Republican" are losers who love to lose. It's infuriating just how much the Uniparty absolutely despises We The People......

The Republiclowns are incompetent fools. They kicked out Madison Cawthorne and George Santos. They replaced their SoH. They're running
these inquiries like chickens with their heads cut off, using fraudulent Russian insiders and bullshit conspiracy theories.

I've never seen the Republiclown party in such disarray and I was a registered Republican for 40 years.

Republicans baffled by Katie Britt’s State of the Union response: ‘One of our biggest disasters’
The 42-year-old Alabama senator is a rising Republican star but her kitchen table speech did not land well even in her own party

Fri 8 Mar 2024 09.48 EST
Katie Britt’s Republican response to Joe Biden’s State of the Union address drew responses ranging from the baffled to the satirical to the appalled, even among fellow right-wingers.
“What the hell am I watching right now?” an unnamed Trump adviser told Rolling Stone.
“It’s one of our biggest disasters ever,” another unnamed Republican strategist told the Daily Beast.
Delivering the official State of the Union response can be a thankless task, as the former Lousiana governor Bobby Jindal and the Florida senator Marco Rubio, deliverers of previously panned speeches, would ruefully attest.

Nonetheless, the 42-year-old Alabama senator is a rising Republican star, widely respected on Capitol Hill and her selection to respond to Biden was a golden opportunity to introduce herself to the wider American electorate.
In his address Biden used his bully pulpit effectively, attacking Republicans in a fiery speech and inviting a strong response. But Britt’s speech, delivered with overt theatricality, oscillating in tone between the wholesome and the wholly horrific, did not land well even in her own party.
Charlie Kirk, founder of the far-right Turning Point USA youth group, said: “I’m sure Katie Britt is a sweet mom and person, but this speech is not what we need. Joe Biden just declared war on the American right and Katie Britt is talking like she’s hosting a cooking show, whispering about how Democrats ‘dont get it’.”

That pointed to widespread confusion over the setting for such a figure to give such an important speech: a kitchen.
As a Gallup poll showed 57% of American voters think the US would be better off if more women were in elected office, Alyssa Farah Griffin, a Trump aide turned never-Trumper, said: “Senator Katie Britt is a very impressive person … I do not understand the decision to put her in a KITCHEN for one of the most important speeches she’s ever given.”
Speaking to CNN, Griffin added: “The staging of this was bizarre to me. Women can be both wives and mothers and also stateswomen, so to put her in a kitchen, not at a podium or in the Senate chamber where she was elected after running a hard-fought race, I think fell very flat and was completely confusing to some women watching it.”

Allie Beth Stuckey, host of the Relatable podcast, which “analyses culture, news and politics from a biblical perspective”, said: “Ok, GOP. Never again. I know y’all were going for the relatable mom speaking in her kitchen from her heart, but it didn’t work. Just a straight, strong speech will do in the future. Thanks.”
Kirk asked followers if they liked the speech. Blue-ticked conservative verdicts included “Man, it was so disappointing”, “No, very babysitter-reading-a-bedtime story-like”, “way too dramatic”, and “the up and down emotion was bizarre”.
Among satirical responses, Tom Nichols, an anti-Trump conservative columnist, spoke for many when he said: “There is no way that this Katie Britt address does not end up as part of the Saturday Night Live cold open.”
Elsewhere, the gonzo filmmaker Tom Arnold said: “Katie Britt is so bad she couldn’t be in one of my movies.”

Julia Ioffe, Washington correspondent for Puck News, said: “Imagine you’re sleeping over at a friend’s house and you get up in the middle of the night to pee and you hear a weird sound so you follow it to the kitchen, where your friend’s mom is drunk, crying, and rambling about the national debt. Those are the vibes from Katie Britt right now.”
 
If I were a Psychiatrist- I would advise Katie to lie down on the sofa, and let's go ahead and get started with her therapy!

The most ironic thing she said, "Biden is out-of-touch with American families on table issues"!

I got news for her- SHE'S OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY!

There has to be something in the water down in Alabama- AND I THINK IT IS TRUMP'S PURPLE KOOL-AID!

OT, but was that a jeweled dog collar Santos was wearing? Kinky.

Cringe.


I feel like the Repub strategy in their SOTU responses is generally to comb their congressional caucus to put a minority face, or youngish attractive woman out there to offset whatever damage their angry white male base does to them.

I have two thoughts on the kitchen: First, that's where Republicans think all women belong and, second, as such, due to their gaffs with Roe v. Wade and IVF, they thought they could reach more women through the kitchen. I'm surprised they didn't have Katie breastfeeding a child while cooking stew for her husband for added effect.

I'd bet money this will show up on SNL tomorrow night. LOL

LOL on Arnold's response. Funny because it's true. :laugh:

That's a good point.

I also thought having an attractive smiling woman in the kitchen gave off the vibe of baking cookies and packing school lunches.

She had a choice and she made it. The best thing I can say about her is "Gee, she doesn't look 42." :)

I have no sympathy for these trumpers who talk about the US like it's Somalia. That's what little miss Debbie Downer was trying to put across and it's wrong and dishonest.

...or the Soviet Union. Agreed.

Agreed. I hope most Americans can see through the charade next November.

FWIW, Katie's seat is safe until 2028, which may be one reason why she took the offer to respond. Those up for election this year or in 2026 may have felt too vulnerable sticking their necks out with half-truths, crocodile tears and outright lies.

Agreed. The proverbial "Stay-at-home Mom". Fine for a citizen giving a response, not so much for a sitting US Senator. Her insincere performance was dooming.
