Maddow calls out glaring contradiction in Katie Britt’s GOP response | State of the Union

Rachel Maddow reacts to Sen. Katie Britt’s comments about the border during her Republican response to President Biden’s State of the Union. “She was one of the Senators who was involved in the negotiations to create a border bill. She helped create the bill. And then voted against it when Trump called on Republicans to pull the plug on the bill that they themselves negotiated,” Maddow explains.

I feel sad for Senator Langford . It seems to me that he put his heart & soul into a really good bill only to have it fail b/c his party is a collection of spineless whips.

Wow, did everyone see Lankford nod in agreement and say, "that's true.?" Absolutely stunning.

[frankingram]

Was waiting for Britt to end her speech with: "AND LIVE FROM NY IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE!!!!"

[georgebeech]

And here all this time I thought The Stepford Wife was a story and Barbie was a toy.

How do you vote against a bill you helped write? This is just mind boggling.

Senator Britt co-wrote the border bill that passed the Senate, but she voted against it! Why? Donnie said to. Amazing.

[MyCentsYall]

Lankford face says it all. He looks furious!

[javiersoberal]

The only thing missing from Katie Britt's performance was her finishing with, "Rhett, Rhett!! Wherever shall I go? Whatever shall I do?"

[mariamurdock]

Wow. Her kitchen speech was the most dystopian unhinged thing I’ve ever heard. 😮

[Opinionsrnotfacts]

Katie who makes $205, 000 per year complained that she and her husband sit around the kitchen table worrying about money - seriously!!??!

I’m an Oklahoman and this is the first, and only, time I’ve been proud of Sen. Lankford.

The Senate's passing of the $95B foreign aid bill is a significant development. It'll be interesting to see the impact and allocation of these funds
And we still have such insecurities to tackle

[chrisjames]

Senator Lankford knows his party is a dead end.

[niclewis]

Republican Senator Lankford mouthed "it's true" when President Biden spoke on the Border.

[FreshtexBlackman]

Look at the deceitful Mike Johnson shaking his head in disagreement as if he didn't know better.

[SooziinCa]

Thank you Ms Maddow !You are my hero & a true inspiration ! Especially now, in this whacky political time!!

[kerwynbrat]

Who the heck is her drama coach. They really need to be fired.

[marcus]

Britt lost any right to complain about the border when she voted against what appeared to be an effective bill that she helped craft. Her credibility vanished when she did that.

[elizabethbrauer]

I have to THANK KATIE for providing the world with this rich dramatic and comedic material. I laughed, I cried. You were magnificent. Bravo Katie!! 🤯

[karenhuff]

Seems to be GOP's M.O. Make threats against anyone who disagrees with their dear leader.
