Joe Biden Gives Tactful Response To Katie Britt's SOTU Rebuttal

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 “alittle 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.”

Many people on social media were impressed by the president’s discretion.
