Comedian Jimmy Kimmel took a shot at newly elected Republican Senator Katie Britt of Alabama during his hosting duties at the Oscars awards ceremony.

Without naming her, Kimmel compared Britt to Emma Stone’s role in a film playing an adult with a child’s brain, in reference to Britt delivering the GOP response to Biden’s State of Union address.

Britt has faced criticism for her comments in the response criticizing Biden’s leadership.

“Emma Stone is an Oscar nominee for a fifth time, right?” Kimmel said.

“You were so unbelievably great in ‘Poor Things,’” he added.

“Emma played an adult woman with the brain of a child, like the lady who gave the rebuttal to the State of the Union on Thursday night,” Kimmel said.

Actress Scarlett Johansson also parodied Britt on SNL, portraying her as a scary mom character.

“My name is Katie Britt and I have the honor of serving the great people of Alabama,” Johansson said on SNL. “But tonight I’ll be auditioning the part of scary mom and I’ll be performing an original monologue called ‘This Country is Hell.'”

“You see, I’m not just a senator. I’m a wife, a mother and the craziest [expletive] in the Target parking lot,” Johnasson said. “I’m worried about the future of our children. And this is why I’ve invited you into this strange, empty kitchen because Republicans want me to appeal to women voters and women love kitchens.”

While Britt has continued defending her stance, saying Biden needs to address the border crisis and parents who have lost children to fentanyl, her initial national exposure from the State of the Union response has led to comedic jabs at the new senator despite her lack of prior elected experience.

“You think about the parents whose children have died of fentanyl poisoning. Enough is enough, and the president needs to assume responsibility,” Britt said. “He knows how to do this. President Trump laid out a roadmap of how to secure our border and make our country safer, but he refuses to do so.”
