Never has such a ridiculous ruckus been made about someone’s kitchen than in Katie Britt’s State of the Union rebuttal Thursday night.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren streamed an Instagram Live video from her kitchen when she announced she was forming a presidential exploratory campaign in 2019. No one complained that it was demeaning toward women.

Other politicians have used kitchens and various rooms in their house to make campaign videos.

But when Britt used her kitchen table as the backdrop for the SOTU rebuttal, it was instantly mocked by gleeful Democrats and even some Republican pundits.

“Sitting in front of a kitchen done in shades of beige, with a couple of family photos, a faucet and a fruit bowl visible in the background, Katie Boyd Britt (R-Ala.) delivered the Republican Party’s rebuttal to President Biden’s State of the Union address Thursday night,” the sarcastic lead of the Washington Post story said.

Critics ridiculed her performance instantly on social media, calling her a Stepford Wife and calling on Saturday Night Live to portray her in a skit which no one watches anymore.

It was part of a vicious, choreographed, personal assault against Britt by her opponents and critics who belittled her kitchen decor, her expressions, and her sometimes overly dramatic tone.

It can be summed up in one word: sexist.

It was downright Palinesque.

“I do not understand the decision to put her in a “KITCHEN” for one of the most important speeches she’s ever given,” commentator Alyssa Farah Griffin wrote on X.

But if you really scratch the surface it wasn’t about how Britt or her kitchen looked but it’s what she represents: a successful, conservative Republican woman.

She represents everything the left hates. She’s anti-abortion, strike one. Christian, strike two. Supports gun rights, strike three.

Maybe she was over-coached and nervous during her rebuttal speech but there’s no reason to mock her like we’re in Junior High school.

Say what you will about Britt but she didn’t slur her words, shout at the audience, insult the Supreme Court or mispronounce Laken Riley’s name.

Britt, just 42 and a lawyer, is already an accomplished figure in the Republican Party. She’s the youngest woman ever elected to the U.S. Senate and the first woman from Alabama.

Her husband Wesley played tackle for the New England Patriots for four years.

Trump and his allies staunchly defended her speech and saw it as a first strike in the GOP’s outreach toward women who deserted Trump in 2020.

“Katie Britt was a GREAT contrast to an Angry, and obviously very Disturbed, ‘President,’” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “She was compassionate and caring, especially concerning Women and Women’s issues.”

The issues Britt focused on in her speech – border security, crime, and the economy – resonate with independent, suburban women.

The GOP hopes to use Britt and others to win back women voters in 2024, so look for more speeches like Britt’s in the coming weeks and months.
