Former White House aide turned CNN pundit Alyssa Farah Griffin called the staging for a response given by Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) to President Biden’s State of the Union address “bizarre.”
She said Britt is a “rising star” within the GOP and called her “an incredibly impressive person,” but she noted “the staging of this was bizarre” to her.
“Women can be both wives and mothers and also stateswomen,” she continued. “So to put her in a kitchen, not in front of a podium or in the Senate chamber where she was elected where she won a very hard fought race, I felt fell very flat and was confusing to some women watching it.”
Farah Griffin, who is also a co-host of ABC’s “The View,” called the content of Britt’s speech “great” but said “the staging was just very, very bizarre.”

Look, this Katie Britt address – breathy, theatrical, on the verge of tears – is completely weird, very coached and like a high school acting audition.
But you have to remember that these people know their base, and the base is going to *love* this.— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) March 8, 2024
There is no way that this Katie Britt address does not end up as part of the SNL cold open

Sen. Tommy Tuberville said he did not have concerns that his colleague, Sen. Katie Britt, delivered her unnatural State of the Union rebuttal in the kitchen since she was "picked as a housewife, not just a senator." https://t.co/ptJam1hi9e pic.twitter.com/PfS0A9fVVO

y’all I got a lot of traffic on posts mocking Britt’s SOTU response but note the issue isn’t that she’s dumb or inexperienced. She was student body president at Bama among other impressive achievements.
The issue is the GOP thinks that speech was what women want to hear. 1/2 https://t.co/37IfZXlck2
