Republican Katie Britt recently used the story of a sex trafficking victim to criticize President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address. Despite facing backlash for inaccuracies in her comparison, she defended her claims in a Fox News interview. The woman in question, Karla Jacinto Romero, was raped repeatedly in a sex trafficking operation in Mexico during the Bush administration. Britt emphasized the need to address human trafficking, claiming it has increased under Biden’s presidency. The senator’s rebuttal speech, delivered from her kitchen, was criticized for its setting and delivery. Scarlett Johansson mocked the speech on Saturday Night Live, highlighting the discrepancies in the sex-trafficking story. Despite the criticism, former President Donald Trump praised Britt for her remarks on migrant crime. The controversy surrounding Britt’s response to Biden’s speech has sparked debate within the Republican party.
