Alabama Senator Katie Britt has called on President Biden to address the crisis at the border following his State of the Union address. In a recent appearance on Senator Ted Cruz’s podcast, Britt expressed her amusement at being portrayed by actress Scarlett Johansson on “Saturday Night Live” after delivering the Republican rebuttal to President Biden’s speech. Britt praised the casting selection, stating, “How awesome is that? I actually was pretty pumped about that.” Cruz added that at least Britt got someone “hot” to play her, jokingly expressing his jealousy as “SNL” has never had Tom Cruise play him.
Johansson’s portrayal of Britt in the “SNL” skit was satirical, with the actress delivering a monologue titled “This Country is Hell.” Some critics found Britt’s rebuttal to be “cringe-inducing,” particularly her remarks on immigration policies. In her response, Britt criticized President Biden for suspending deportations, halting construction of the border wall, and proposing amnesty for millions of undocumented immigrants. She argued that Biden’s actions had invited the current border crisis.
Britt, who is seen as a rising star within the Republican Party, has been rumored as a potential vice presidential running mate for former President Donald Trump in the upcoming general election. However, there has been no official confirmation or comment from her office regarding these rumors.
