Alabama Sen. Katie Britt is getting a lot of criticism for her bizarre delivery of the Republican rebuttal to Joe Biden’s State Of The Union address — but not from the president himself.
Britt’s performance was brutally mocked by observers online, who said Britt seemed happy and cheerful one moment and almost tearful and angry the next.
Biden’s reaction was slightly more tactful. After a reporter asked Biden if he saw Senator Britt’s rebuttal, the president admitted seeing “a little bit on TV.”
When the reporter asked the president’s thoughts, he said, “I thought she was a very talented woman, [but] I didn’t understand the connection she was making.”
Reporter: Did you see Senator Britt’s rebuttal?

Many people on social media were impressed by the president’s discretion.
This is how you do it. He gave them nothing to drive an outlandish story. https://t.co/oZqfV5fbED

Does Trump even have the capability of doing something this classy? Or saying anything nice about someone who disagrees with him? https://t.co/omCpdF5gg6

Biden’s response was very respectful & classy. He could have slammed Katie Britt’s acting skills. https://t.co/8YKHI0D7n3

MAGA & Fox News response to his comments, “Angry old man yells at Katie Britt, “Get out of my kitchen”. 😂😂 https://t.co/gl0m7QT2sE
