WATCH: Katie Britt Delivers Republican Rebuttal To Biden’s State Of The Union Speech

Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL), the youngest Republican woman ever elected to the U.S. Senate, delivered an energetic rebuttal on Thursday night to President Joe Biden’s highly criticized State of the Union address.

The Republican Party’s decision to have a vibrant Britt, 42, deliver the rebuttal was a stark contrast from watching the 81-year-old president yell throughout much of his speech.

“The true, unvarnished State of our Union begins and ends with this: Our families are hurting. Our country can do better,” Britt said, later adding: “Hardworking families are struggling to make ends meet today. And with soaring mortgage rates and sky-high childcare costs, they’re also struggling to plan for tomorrow. The American people are scraping by while the President proudly proclaims Bidenomics is working! Bless his heart. We know better.”

Britt hit Biden hard on the border crisis that he caused and the subsequent flood of illegal aliens that have poured onto America’s streets.

“President Biden inherited the most secure border of all-time,” Britt said. “But minutes after taking office, he suspended all deportations, halted construction of the border wall, and announced a plan to give amnesty to millions. We know that President Biden didn’t just create this border crisis. He invited it with 94 executive actions in his first 100 days. … President Biden’s border crisis is a disgrace. It’s despicable. And it’s almost entirely preventable.”

Britt said that Biden was “not in command,” a reference to his advanced age and the concerns that the majority of Americans say that they have about his mental fitness for office.

“The free world deserves better than a dithering and diminished leader,” she said. “America deserves leaders who recognize that secure borders, stable prices, safe streets, and a strong defense are the cornerstones of a great nation.”
