☆ Sen. Katie Britt denies misleading and widely criticized sex trafficking anecdote in Biden's State of the Union rebuttal
  + stars: | 2024-03-10 | by ( Rebecca Picciotto | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Since delivering the GOP rebuttal to Biden's State of the Union address on Thursday, Britt has faced severe criticism. Britt argued that in her rebuttal she made clear that the woman had experienced sex trafficking years earlier during her childhood, not under the Biden administration. In her rebuttal, Britt references "a woman" who "had been sex trafficked by the cartels starting at the age of 12." During the speech, she did not clarify that the crime happened decades ago and that the woman was no longer being sex trafficked. The victim, Karla Jacinto Romero, experienced sex trafficking from 2004 to 2008 in Mexico.

☆ Biden rebutter Sen. Britt blasted for recycling 20-year-old sex traffic story to attack border policy
  + stars: | 2024-03-09 | by ( Rebecca Picciotto | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Republican Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama is under fire for using what appears to be a sex trafficking victim's experience from the early 2000s to condemn President Joe Biden's current border policy. Britt seemingly attempted to present the anecdote as a damning example of Biden's border management. "President Biden's border policies are a disgrace. Britt's implication that Jacinto Romero divulged her experiences privately is not borne out by publicly available information. Though sex trafficking has taken place in the U.S. under the Biden administration, Jacinto Romero's sex-trafficking story is not an example of it.

“This is the United States of America, and it is past time, in my opinion, that we start acting like it,” Ms. Britt said. “President Biden’s border policies are a disgrace.”As a rhetorical device, it would be hard conjure up a more powerful and resonant example. In a video released shortly after that trip, Ms. Britt discussed Ms. Jacinto’s experiences. “I thought it was very strange.”She said she preferred to keep politics out of the question of human trafficking. “The work I do is not a game.”A spokesman for Ms. Britt, Sean Ross, stood behind her speech.

☆ Anecdote from Sen. Katie Britt’s criticism of Biden’s border policies appears to be from before he was president
  + stars: | 2024-03-09 | by ( Samantha Waldenberg | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
But the story she seemed to describe didn’t take place during Biden’s time as president or vice president, nor did it happen in the United States. I traveled to the Del Rio sector of Texas, where I spoke to a woman who shared her story with me. She had been sex trafficked by the cartels starting at age 12. Jacinto Romero has shared her story publicly, including in a 2015 hearing on sex trafficking held by the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Global Human Rights. Along that journey, children, women, and men are being subjected to gut-wrenching, heartbreaking horrors in our own backyard,” spokesperson Sean Ross said.

☆ Britt Faces Accusations of Misleading on Border in State of the Union Response
  + stars: | 2024-03-09 | by ( Ken Bensinger | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
In her rebuttal to President Biden’s State of the Union speech Thursday night, Senator Katie Britt, Republican of Alabama, told a story about a Mexican woman who was a victim of sex trafficking at the age of 12, laying blame at the feet of the current administration. “President Biden’s border policies are a disgrace,” she said. Although Ms. Britt did not name the victim in her speech, she has previously shared the story of a woman who appears to be the same individual based on congressional testimony, news releases and news reports. In 2023, Ms. Jacinto participated in an event near the Texas border with Mexico that was also attended by three senators, including Ms. Britt. In a video released shortly after that trip, Ms. Britt discussed Ms. Jacinto’s experiences.
