The freshman senator is considered a rising star in the party. But her speechs intense tonewith an over-the-top dramatic cadence that was delivered in a kitchenleft political operatives and observers struggling to make sense of it.
The performance was so bad that some Republicans watched the high-profile speech with a grimace. A GOP strategist told The Daily Beast that Britts delivery quickly became a gossip item Thursday night among operatives connected to Donald Trumpsomething that could have potential implications for her consideration as a vice presidential pick for the former president.
Everyones fucking losing it, this Republican said, requesting anonymity to discuss private conversations. Its one of our biggest disasters ever.
The setting of the kitchen tablemore so the kitchen than the tablefor Britts speech also left some seasoned Republican strategists confused.
Senator Katie Britt is a very impressive person. She ran a hell of race in [Alabama], Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former Trump White House communications adviser and Nikki Haley supporter posted on X. I do not understand the decision to put her in a KITCHEN for one of the most important speeches shes ever given.

Third, her facial expressions seem rehearsed. Smile, smile with concerned eyebrows, slight grimace but with adorable earnest eyes, etc.
Fourth, she is spewing nonsense breathlessly.

The kitchen is not the heart of that house.

(13,935 posts)Our kitchen is open to the main living area and is super busy. Everyone heads there.
One corner has an Italian Espresso machine and matching grinder on a large tray that also holds the tools, so it functions like a coffee bar. Another corner has the professional stand mixer, but does sport gleaming stainless trim. There are multiple large ceramic canisters with the most accessed kitchen ingredients, crystal bowls filled with fruit and tomatoes, baskets of onions and garlic, and a huge wooden cutting board sits waiting in the center with a professional knife set beside it. I have some open shelves full of cast iron cookware, bottles of vinegar and wines for cooking and drinking. Herbs are hung and drying much of the time. There is usually something on the stove or in the oven, and most days you would find a big stainless bowl with bread dough rising. I keep dirty dishes out of the way, but this kitchen is in constant use and a happy place. No way could I have all that essential stuff stowed away and have to constantly set it all up.
I also have beautiful mother of pearl back-splash reflecting rainbow colors, wood cabinetry, and black quartz counters with metallic specks so it looks like black lava. We live in Hawaii.

(6,101 posts)How does the GOP always find the worst people for the response? Sarah Huckleberry Sanders did a better job than this soap opera cry baby. I'm still remembering Marco 'deer in the headlights' Rubio and his water.
I think if I sent this to my friends and told them it was an awesome SNL sketch, none of them would doubt me.

Republicans pick the most insipid people to give their SOTU response, because their selection criteria are purely superficial qualities.

She opened with he so old, he been elected longer than I've been alive. Hey senator, you might want to have some experience before you go spouting off with those jacked up teeth and serial killer's clueless girlfriend smile.

(18,464 posts)Most people have a white veneer coating on there teeth to give an absurdly white smile.
This one seemed to have gotten a yellow veneer coating to make her look like a lower class - financially struggling - poor side of town -suburban mom.
Her contrived smile and about to burst into tears voice makes me vomit.
This woman is a total dud.
