Not that this comes to a surprise to anyone here, but in the SOTU rebuttal by Senator Britt she straight-up told a lie that's honestly pretty audacious in how completely and totally she misrepresents it.

She told an anecdote where she portrayed it as her visiting an American woman from Texas who told her how she had been sex trafficked by cartels since she was a child. Britt goes on to imply that this happened
in
America and was the fault of Biden's immigration policy.
The reality when an independent journalist (god forbid the major media organizations could track this down - CNN only picking this up like a full 24 hours after that one journalist did the work, and when I checked a few hours ago
none of them had
) tracked down her story:
-
It happened during the George W Bush administration
-
It took place in Mexico
-
The victim was Mexican (this last point
shouldn't
matter but we all know to the GOP and their fear-mongering it does and that's why they framed it as if she was an American.)
