Katie Britt was the scariest Woman I've seen in a kitchen since CARRIE !!

[Iseerightthruyou]

That was the most disingenuous thing I have ever seen. Katie Britt came across as fake, and desperate.

[ZiggyBoon]

SNL’s take: We see you, we hear you …. we smell you.

[Wordsalad]

Politics aside, that was very painful to watch. Had to shut it off after a couple of minutes. Who thought it was a good idea for her to deliver that speech the way she did? That is not how normal humans talk.

[Virtual-Media]

Creepy, disturbing and cringeworthy..

[neilh]

If she is the future of the Republican Party they are in bigger trouble than people thought. Pathetic sums it up.

[EH]

OMG… those 3 commentators’ faces were priceless! You couldn’t script it better!! 🤣🤣🤣😨😨😨

[troycaldwell]

"Our children are dying." Smile and giggle.... That was serial killerish

[bethlott]

She would be laughed out of a local theater group. So sad.

[patjohnson]

How to destroy your career in 30 seconds - she should write a book on it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[gordieparenteau]

She looked and sounded like a psychotic serial killer making a hostage video.

[tejaswoman]

Bobby Jindal must feel so relieved at no longer being the worst GOP rebuttal.

[danimack]

And the GOP sacrificed her like a spring lamb

[introneurotic]

Please let this be an SNL skit. Please let this be an SNL skit. Please let this be an SNL skit.

[dublinjazz]

She was smiling at the MOST inappropriate moments, or maybe it was a grimace. Whatever it was, it was god-awful.

[cleverusername]

Getting roasted by Academy Award nominee Scarlett Johansson is going to be the highlight and greatest achievement of Katie Britt's political career

[manbtm]

It was an absolute embarrassment and hilarious at the same time, the three people I was with were rolling over laughing, the scary thing is, this is the Republican party and their message. Help this country, If this bunch gets reelected into office, we are in huge trouble.

[mr.v]

Dems and Reps were 100% united for the first time in years right after the SOTU speech.
Both thought this was the worst reply ever given.

[albalala]

This speech could literally be dropped into an episode of The Handmaid's Tale, and nobody would know she wasn't an actual character in the story. She's even wearing the green dress!

[stannetaprospere]

I know we keep making jokes that it's like the handmaid's tales happening for real. But that was actually terrifying. That is a speech Serena Joy would make, complete with her expressions, her creepy condescending smile and everything.
I'm sorry America, good luck.
