Q What did you think?

THE PRESIDENT: I ​​thought she was a very talented woman. Me — I didn't really understand the connections he was making.

President Biden has been a national figure in American politics for over 50 years, and he didn't understand what Kathy Britt was up to. However, the president was much kinder to Senator Britt than many of his fellow Republicans

Kathy Britt was just plain creepy. She was a Stepford wife who watches too much Newsmax and needs to stop reading Trump's posts on Truth Social.

Britt's denial was so shocking that people are still talking about it Friday night. Republicans have a long history of crashing and burning in response to SOTU. Marco Rubio and Bobby Jindal may have surpassed Kathy Britt on the failure scale.

Britt really sold the Republican message to potential voters. He confused and creeped them out.

With the Republican Party now firmly under the control of a man who has no message, who has little interest in governing, the American people should learn to see more Republicans like Kathy Britt.
