Judy Barlow, chairman of the legislation and research committee of the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW), sat down with U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Mongomery) and talked about the current state of the Republican Party.
The two spoke about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, their participation in the Republican National Convention (RNC) and the selection of J.D. Vance as Trump’s running mate.
Barlow also asked Britt about social media and its impact on mental health. They discussed bipartisan bills being introduced, which Britt says Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has not allowed a vote on.
“We have come together, not as Democrats and Republicans, but truly as four concerned parents,” Britt said of the MOMS Act. “Because we just look first. Number one, we don’t have to ask anybody what it’s like to raise a kid, we are raising teenagers in this environment. Second, we just look at the data.”
Britt said the American people deserve better than Schumer’s tactics to divide parties.
“I went to the floor, and I was like, ‘This is Chuck Schumer’s summer of scare tactics and then he’s just going to move us into a fall of fear-mongering,” Britt added. “And that means that nothing gets accomplished for the American people.”
