Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest?

 We’re used to epic and blatant lies from Donald Trump. That said, a new GOP contestant, one Senator Katie Britt, has entered the arena. We’re fairly used to the other party “rebuttal” to the State of the Union address having become little more than a smear campaign of the sitting POTUS and his adherents. Ms. Britt, however, managed to achieve a new nadir with a myriad of outright falsehoods and even time travel anecdotes. What follows details just one.

        Her story of the young Mexican woman who was trafficked went so far off the rails as to be in another time zone. Let’s take the lies serially:

First, she attempted to place the majority of the blame for the events she was about to chronicle on the Biden administration.

Fact: They happened twenty years ago, in 2004, three presidents ago and a Republican one, at that.

Second, she implied that the scenario played itself out in America and Mexico.

Fact: It all happened in Mexico

Finally, she attempted to link the events with the Mexican drug cartels, some admittedly horrid persons, and then in a bizarro world lapse of logic, imply that somehow this, too, was somehow linked to Biden policies, twenty years after the fact.  

Fact: while I would never defend Mexican narco-terrorists, this one wasn’t on them, either.  

Added to the GOP’s Taylor Green/Boebert duo, Ms.Britt is yet another national embarrassment masquerading as a dedicated legislator.
