Sen. Katie Britt's rebuttal at the State of the Union was so bad that Republican leaders are criticizing her. Worse, it wasn't Senator Britt's real voice.
What is Katie Britt's real voice?
No, it wasn't. Katie Britt voice. The freshman senator from Alabama doesn't usually sound like that.
Katie Britt's rebuttal was this:
Katie Britt looks like a Stepford senator as Republicans continue to guess incorrectly on rebuttal issues. Under his administration, he has become unreachable, making life worse for families and making our communities less safe. ” pic.twitter.com/h0zyykz58t

Here's what Britt said in a video posted just before the rebuttal:

Republicans are repeating the same mistake with their SOTU rebuttal.under donald playing cardsRepublicans are trying to get people to look like the demographic they want to reach without considering whether that person is experienced and able to deliver an effective message to the public without turning into an SNL skit and ruining their career. Choose the person you think is there.
Britt's behavior was so bad that Senate Republicans are posting text quotes instead of video clips.

Here is the Republican response to Bullitt. rolling stone:
„What the hell am I watching right now?“ asked Britt, a Trump adviser.
One Republican pollster called it „creepy.“
A lawyer working for the Trump campaign said the performance reminded him of public television, and a senior House of Representatives aide said it was „disgusting“ to watch and was probably destined to be „uncool.“ (Saturday Night Live) said there will be a skit this weekend.
And when I say Republican „dorkness“ in the quote above, I mean it's so funny that it defines pop culture.
Either she was nervous or Britt decided to use that voice herself. Either way, this is not her real voice and is a disaster that Republicans are trying to clean up.
