"Republicans Criticize Katie Britt's Outdated Sex Trafficking Story in State of the Union Rebuttal"
TL;DR Summary
Republican Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama is facing criticism for using a 20-year-old sex trafficking story to attack President Joe Biden's border policy during her rebuttal to his State of the Union address. Britt referenced a conversation with a survivor of sex trafficking, implying it was a result of Biden's border policies, but the woman, Karla Jacinto Romero, was trafficked in Mexico from 2004 to 2008 and publicly shared her story in the past. Despite the spokesperson's insistence that Britt's story was accurate, the incident has been called out as misinformation.
