My Heart Is Broken: Katie Britt Plays Victim, Launches Political Fundraiser After Being Exposed for Misleading State of the Union Rebuttal Speech
Britt has since launched a fundraiser, according to Raw Story, in which she said, Following my speech, the left-wing media didnt waste a second flooding the airwaves with despicable, disgusting messages about me. They attacked my character. They attacked my faith. They attacked my identity as a mother and a wife.
Britts pitch continues, according to Raw Story, My heart is broken. Not just for myself, but for my children, your children and the ENTIRE next generation of Americans. Why? Because I didnt prepare a 20-minute speech and stand up to Biden in front of millions of Americans for ME. I did it for them, for YOU and your children, Friend!
Roger Sollenberger, a senior political reporter for the Daily Beast, shared a screenshot of a fundraising email from Britt via X. The email states, according to the screenshot, I just gave the official Republican response to Joe Bidens State of the Union and the left is FREAKING OUT over my message, along with a button asking readers to rush a small donation to help Republicans win.

(40,246 posts)It is shameful, actually. They think it makes them Jesus-like. In reality, it makes them weak and pathetic along with revealing their true intentions
grifting.

Good luck with that.

She gets the overactor trophy for this rebuttal.
And the kissass award.
She should be naming names for those who advised her.

(1,539 posts)That's what happens to liars. You're a liar. Like you are in the next breath:
Nobody attacked you over that. They criticized you for being a liar, manipulator, bigot and fraud.

It's a low feeling. I shoulda started a GoFundMe, I felt so bad.

(81,605 posts)Youre the one who stuck your neck out after a big-ass speech that would be seen my multitudes, and you hoped to hitch your wagon to those audience numbers.
That you were a catastrophic fail - in public, on prime time TV, as the attachment to a presidential event, isnt anybodys fault but YOURS, girlfriend.
Dont know if she pushed or lobbied for it, or was selected by GOP higher-ups, plucked out of the crowd to showcase to a national audience cuz they thought she had the chops for future campaign possibilities. She flopped.
