Sen. Katie Britt.
  • Reviews were not kind to Sen. Katie Britt's first moment on the national stage.
  • She was tasked with the thankless job of delivering the GOP's response to Biden's State of the Union.
  • Her decision to deliver the speech in her family kitchen left some politicos scratching their heads.

It didn't take long for Sen. Katie Britt, an Alabama Republican, to begin receiving heat when she welcomed Americans into her kitchen for the Republican Party's official response to President Joe Biden's State of the Union address.

Even some Republicans, including conservative women in politics, panned the decision to feature Britt, a 42-year-old rising star, in the room of the house often associated with holding back women's advancement in society.
