Katie Britt’s Big Lie

Much of the attention surrounding Sen. Katie Britt’s State Of The Union rebuttal has been focused on her jarring and off-putting delivery, but for the sake of our democracy and country, something else really big was missed.

The centerpiece of Britt’s rebuttal was a lie.

Britt said:

When I first took office, I did something different. I traveled to the Del Rio sector of Texas, where I spoke to a woman who shared her story with me. She had been sex trafficked by the cartels starting at age 12. She told me not just that she was raped every day, but how many times a day she was raped.

The cartels put her on a mattress in a shoebox of a room, and they sent men through that door, over and over again, for hours and hours on end.

We wouldn’t be OK with this happening in a third-world country. This is the United States of America, and it’s past time we start acting like it.

Britt took office in January 2023, so she heavily implies that the sex trafficking story she told happened during the Biden administration.

It did not.

Did it happen during the Trump administration?

No.

It had to have been the Obama administration, right?

Keep going.

It happened during the George W. Bush administration.

Independent journalist and author Jonathan M. Katz did all the research and heavy lifting. To reward his work, I strongly encourage you to watch it at its original source.

The horrific sex trafficking story is true. It happened to Karla Jacinto Romero in Mexico from 2004-2008.

Romero is an activist, so it is very possible that she told the story to Britt but not in the timeframe that Britt implied.

Sen. Britt has been running around telling this story for more than a year, and it is revealing that she left out specifics and details.

The Alabama senator implies that the story happened during the Biden administration in the United States today, but it didn’t.

Britt’s office claimed that the story she told was 100% true, but her spokesman provided no details and would not answer if the person she met was Romero. Britt’s office responded with a classic non-denial denial.

The fact that it took an independent journalist and not one of the highly paid celebrity journalists at The New York Times or Washington Post to uncover this is an indictment of big media itself, but let’s dig deeper into why Britt and her party are using this tactic below.
