TL;DR Summary

Sex trafficking victim Karla Jacinto Romero criticized Republican senator Katie Britt for distorting her story for political gain in a State of the Union rebuttal speech. Britt's speech implied that Jacinto Romero was trafficked in the United States during Biden’s presidency, when in fact she was trafficked in Mexico during George W Bush’s presidency. Jacinto Romero also clarified that she met Britt at an event at the border, not in a one-on-one meeting as the speech suggested. Britt defended her speech on Fox News, while a spokesperson claimed she was "100% correct," blaming Biden for empowering cartels and migrants making dangerous border crossings.
