“Look, I very specifically said this is what President Biden did during his first 100 days. Minutes after coming into office, he stopped all deportations. He halted construction of the border wall. And he said, ‘I am going to give amnesty to millions,’ those types of things. Act as a magnet to have more and more people here. I then said in his first 100 days he had 94 executive actions. And those executive actions didn’t just, create the crisis. They invited it.
“I then contrasted it with my first 100 days. Shannon, I went to the border three times in my first 100 days in office, and when I was there, I asked for the real, unvarnished truth. I wanted to sit down. I asked the Border Patrol agents. I asked the people there. I asked the victims, previous victims of drug cartels, tell me what it’s like. Tell me what we need to do. Tell me what we need to know
“I very clearly said I spoke to a woman who told me about when she was trafficked when she was 12. So I didn’t say, a teenager. I didn’t say, a young woman, a grown woman, a woman when she was trafficked when she was 12. And so listening to her story, she is a victims’ rights advocate who is telling … this is what drug cartels are doing. This is how they’re profiting off of women. And it is disgusting.” – Sen. Katie Britt.
Katie Britt on Fox News Sunday (and not in the kitchen!) is asked about her misleading tale about sexual assault in her SOTU rebuttal. She claims not plausibly that she didn’t meant to smear Biden by falsely implying an assault that happened 20 years ago happened under his watch. pic.twitter.com/KpPWSewZlS

SHANNON BREAM: To be clear, the story you relayed is not something that happened during the Biden administration?
