Journalist Jonathan Katz fact checked Katie Britt’s horrific rape story from her over-the-top rebuttal.
Despite all the drama, it turns out to be a story that happened 20 years ago - and not in the U.S. but in Mexico. It’s a story that was recounted in Congressional testimony in 2015.
Katie #Britt lied when she blamed this on Joe #Biden’s border policies and when she said it happened in the U.S. #SOTU

So Katie Britt, after hiding how fancy her kitchen was so she could claim to have worries, laid out an excellent case we should make it easier for women who’ve been sex trafficked to get amnesty in the US, and ALSO noted migration has been a problem for a decade?

#not@deborahh@mstdn.ca SubZero refrigerators are VERY expensive, high end, prestige appliances. Common in very high end homes, as in Beverly Hills type homes.

@GottaLaff yep! Also, about those decades…context 💋🍷😷

Always lying, those good Republican Christians in DC. It’s all they’ve got left… lies.
@KatM@mastodon.social @NataliaArmyOf1@mstdn.social @GottaLaff@mastodon.social it’s because they got nuthin’ else to offer
@jda@social.sdf.org
I have to respectfully disagree with you, it’s not so much that Republicans have nuthin’ else to offer, it’s more that what they have to offer most voters don’t want. So they offer tax cuts but don’t mention those cuts are for the wealthy, they offer family values when their policies deprive women of bodily autonomy & access to IVF, they offer fear about crime but refuse to support red flag laws & background checks for gun buyers and they offer right to work laws instead of supporting livable minimum wages, family leave and child care.
@KatM@mastodon.social @NataliaArmyOf1@mstdn.social @GottaLaff@mastodon.social@CivilityFan@sfba.social Which makes both of you right. @jda@social.sdf.org @KatM@mastodon.social @NataliaArmyOf1@mstdn.social

Why do people never verify their examples?Do they really think no-one will check?
Have they never heard of the internet?
🤯
@Penultimate@twit.social Because by the time they’re debunked, the meme is out there and repeated 24/7. The fact checks are not as effective.
