Republican Senator Katie Britt of Alabama delivered the GOP rebuttal to President Biden’s State of the Union address, sharply criticizing his handling of key issues.
Britt, a rising star within the GOP, ripped Biden for the border crisis she says he invited through executive actions rolling back Trump-era policies.
Biden’s speech was “the performance of a permanent politician who has actually been in office for longer than I’ve been alive,” Britt said.
She described brutalities faced by migrants and cited the death of a Georgia student allegedly killed by an undocumented immigrant.
Britt argued Biden’s failures extended to the economy amid high costs, and that his promotion of “Bidenomics” has left families struggling.
“The country we know and love seems to be slipping away, and it feels like the next generation will have fewer opportunities – and less freedoms – than we did. I worry my own children may not even get a shot at living their American Dreams,” she said.
“The American Dream has turned into a nightmare for so many families. The true, unvarnished State of our Union begins and ends with this: Our families are hurting. Our country can do better,” she said.
“President Biden inherited the most secure border of all-time. But minutes after taking office, he suspended all deportations, halted construction of the border wall, and announced a plan to give amnesty to millions. We know that President Biden didn’t just create this border crisis. He invited it with 94 executive actions in his first 100 days,” she said.
“President Biden’s border crisis is a disgrace. It’s despicable. And it’s almost entirely preventable,” she added, noting Riley. “President Biden finally said her name, but he refused to take responsibility for his own actions … but enough is enough.”
“Hardworking families are struggling to make ends meet today. And with soaring mortgage rates and sky-high childcare costs, they’re also struggling to plan for tomorrow. The American people are scraping by while the President proudly proclaims Bidenomics is working! Bless his heart. We know better,” she said.
She decried Democratic crime policies and calls to defund police, saying Biden has made the U.S. a “punchline” globally through chaotic foreign policy like the Afghanistan withdrawal.
In contrast, Britt advocated for secure borders, stable prices, safe streets, and a strong defense as pillars of a great nation.
“Where I’m from, your word is your bond. But for three years, this President has demonstrated that America’s word doesn’t mean what it used to. From abandoning allies in his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan … to desperately pushing another dangerous deal with Iran, President Biden has failed. We’ve become a nation in retreat. And the enemies of freedom see an opportunity,” she said.
“Right now, our Commander in Chief is not in command. The free world deserves better than a dithering and diminished leader. America deserves leaders who recognize that secure borders, stable prices, safe streets, and a strong defense are the cornerstones of a great nation,” she added.
She closed by framing the nation at a crossroads but optimistic the public could decide America’s path to brighter growth over decline.
“We all feel it. But here’s the good news: we people are still in the driver’s seat. We get to decide whether our future will grow brighter, or whether we settle for an America in decline,” she said. “Well, I know which choice our children deserve – and I know the choice the Republican Party is fighting for.”
