Former President Donald Trump on Saturday touted U.S. Sen. Katie Britt's (R-Montgomery) recent Republican response to President Joe Biden's State of the Union address. The SOTU rebuttal was heavily panned and even parodied by "Saturday Night Live."
While at a Vandalia, Ohio, campaign rally, Trump, the GOP nominee for the 2024 presidential race, first railed against Britt's 2022 senatorial opponent, former U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville), for telling voters to move on from the 2020 election.
"[M]o Brooks gets up and he says, 'Let's forget about the election. The election was fine ... we have to get on to the future.' He got booed," Trump recalled on Saturday before noting Brooks' polling numbers plummeted after saying that.
"And we have a very wonderful senator. I endorsed her the following morning ... Katie Britt. She was doing a good job," he added.
Trump then said Britt "did a very nice job" in her SOTU response, adding that "liberals didn't like it very much."
"Who liked the job she did the other night? I thought she did a very nice job. Liberals didn't like it very much, I guess, but I thought she did a very nice job. We have another senator now because people don't want to hear bullshit. They don't want to hear it."
Following her SOTU speech, Trump posted on his Truth Social account, "Katie Britt was a GREAT contrast to an Angry, and obviously very Disturbed, "President." She was compassionate and caring, especially concerning Women and Women's Issues. Her conversation on Migrant Crime was powerful and insightful. Great job Katie!"
