'My Heart Is Broken': Katie Britt Plays Victim, Launches Political Fundraiser [View all]

‘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 didn’t 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.”

Britt’s 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 didn’t 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 Biden’s 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.”
