ENTERPRISE — In her speech to the Republican Women of Coffee County, U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) blasted the dangerous and radical agenda of the Biden-Harris administration and articulated the momentous choice facing Americans in November.
Britt began with a nod to her own roots in Enterprise, saying, "It is wonderful to see so many friends, so many familiar faces, so many people who have invested in me."
She then shifted to the crisis facing America, stating, "We know that the country we know and love is slipping away right in front of us. … We…face tremendous challenges in our nation right now… They stem from the Biden-Harris agenda."
Britt warned that the "radical policies" of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris "will only be worse and more radical if Vice President Harris somehow becomes the president of this country," calling Harris "left of Bernie Sanders."
Britt called out Harris' failure as "border czar," noting that Harris has only been to the border once, while Britt has visited several times. She criticized the hypocrisy of Democrats for building "three walls around the Democratic National Convention" but opposing walls for the Southern border. Britt slammed the Biden-Harris administration for refusing to stop the flow of fentanyl from China, calling the killer drug "the leading cause of death between the ages of 18 and 45 in this country."
Britt traced America's diminished stature on the global stage to the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal and noted that Harris was "the last person in the room with Joe Biden before he made that decision."
"That shows you the type of leadership that she would project or lack thereof," she added.
Britt called out Biden and Harris for undermining Israel and for refusing to cut off funds to Iran, thereby enabling Hamas.
"There is a reason we had no new wars when [Trump] was the president," she said. "And on the other hand, we've seen under Biden-Harris, the world literally catch on fire."
In response to a question about financial aid to Ukraine, Britt explained that she supported the $95 billion National Security Supplemental in April because it banned China-controlled TikTok, supported Israel and Taiwan, and reinvested in "American deterrence and American military…capabilities."
U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) said he opposed the supplemental because it included "9 billion" for Hamas-controlled Gaza, did nothing to "close the border and fix the economy," and sent "billions of dollars to one of the most corrupt countries in the world," referencing Ukraine.
Britt called China "our greatest adversary," not just in military strength, but in "coming after our children," via TikTok. She revealed that in the first 2.6 minutes, a child is a new user on TikTok, "they are delivered an algorithm about suicide."
She noted, "Last year alone, the CDC said our kids are not on social media apps for minutes. They're on there for 4.6 hours a day… One in three high school young women last year said she actually considered death by suicide. And then 9% of our high school population…actually attempted death by suicide."
Britt excoriated the inflationary economic policies of Biden and Harris, especially the "partisan Green New Deal" or the "Inflation Reduction Act." She described America's $35 trillion national debt as "not just fiscally irresponsible" but "morally irresponsible." Britt called to "unleash American energy" rather than outsourcing it to "our adversaries."
"Our Christian conservative values are the pillars of our nation," said Britt.
She spoke about her introduction of the pro-life, pro-mother MOMS Act (More Opportunities for Moms to Succeed) and the leftist smear campaign engendered by it. Britt denounced the radical abortion agenda of the left, saying, "We're one of eight nations that allow you to take the life of a child the moment before a child is born. There are seven states in the District of Columbia that allow you to do that right now."
Britt framed retaking both the White House and the Senate as critical to stopping the Democrats from federalizing elections via HR1, packing the Supreme Court, codifying radical abortion agendas, and irreversibly entrenching national power. She praised the Alabamians joining the "strike force" to get out the vote in Pennsylvania ahead of November.
Britt promised, "On day one of a Republican presidency and Senate majority with Republicans, we are going to get to work…the time is now, and everybody across this country is ready and eager for change." She said that Democrats talking about "change and hope" have forgotten that "out of the last 16 years they've been in charge 12," and that "Kamala Harris is actually serving right now."
"The change that we need is obviously putting Donald Trump and J.D. Vance in the White House and actually getting to work, because under Biden-Harris…things will just get worse," she urged.
Britt asked for prayers, saying, "We need them, and we can feel them, and please keep them coming."
