The Internet Is Absolutely Losing It Over The Republican Rebuttal To The State Of The Union, And There Are SO Many Jokes About It
She gave *quite* the performance.
Republicans had a chance to offer a rebuttal to President Joe Biden's State of the Union speech last night, and they took this opportunity to introduce a first-term senator.
Introducing Katie Britt from Alabama.
The 42-year-old senator delivered a 17-minute rebuttal to Biden's speech straight from the kitchen table.
