Senator Katie Britt, an Alabama Republican, was confronted on Fox News Sunday by host Shannon Bream regarding a statement she made during her widely criticized State of the Union rebuttal address on Thursday night.
Bream specifically asked Britt about the story she told about a sex-trafficking survivor and the implication that it happened on President Joe Biden’s watch.
When asked if she meant to imply if the story happened during Biden’s time in office, Britt replied, “No, Shannon. Look, I very specifically said, this is what President Biden did during his first 100 days. Minutes after coming into office, he stopped all deportations, halted construction of the border wall and said, ‘I’m going to give amnesty to millions.’ Those types of things act as a magnet to help more and more people here.”
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
