Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) sent out a self-pitying fundraising plea after her State of the Union rebuttal made her a national laughingstock.
...
"Following my speech, the left-wing media didn't waste a second flooding the airwaves with despicable, disgusting messages about me," the senator's fundraising pitch states. "They attacked my character. They attacked my faith. They attacked my identity as a mother and a wife."
"My heart is broken," she added. "Not just for myself, but for my children, your children and the ENTIRE next generation of Americans. Why? Because I didn't prepare a 20-minute speech and stand up to Biden in front of millions of Americans for ME. I did it for them, for YOU and your children, Friend!"
Britt then tried a rhetorical trick often used by Donald Trump and claimed the attacks were aimed at her, but she was instead absorbing blows meant for her supporters.
"Friend, they're not just laughing at me," reads her fundraising pitch. "They're laughing at every single American who dares to stand up to their radical agenda. Every patriot who fights to defend their American dream."
