With her Republican rebuttal to President Joe Biden's State of the Union address on Thursday, Britt became a target for fact-checkers and late-night comedians.
AdvertisementWhile describing the devastating circumstances of the woman's case, Britt seemed to imply that it took place under Biden's administration.
President Biden's border policies are a disgrace," Britt said.
The catch is that the case Britt referred to happened in Mexico during the second George W. Bush administration.
"The story Senator Britt told was 100% correct," Ross told the Post, arguing that Biden's policies have "empowered the cartels" to victimize more people "than ever before."
