Katie Britt’s Big Fail Shows Why GOP Cannot Connect

Karen Tumulty: “How Britt was presented to a national audience… says a lot about why the GOP struggles to connect with suburban women. Her breathy, overwrought delivery would have embarrassed any self-respecting high school drama club.”

“And the setting sent another message that was not helpful at a moment when Republicans are trying to shake their image as a party that wants to send women backward in time.”

Said GOP pollster Christine Matthews on X: “Not sure whose genius idea it was to put a U.S. Senator in the kitchen to deliver the response to the State of the Union. In the panel work I have done with swing women since 2014 we have tested ads like this — i.e. women talking health care in the kitchen — and it just sets women voters off.”
