CNN reports:

The woman whose story Alabama Sen. Katie Britt appeared to have shared in the Republican response to the State of the Union as an example of President Joe Biden’s failed immigration policies told CNN she was trafficked before Biden’s presidency and said legislators lack empathy when using the issue of human trafficking for political purposes.

Britt, who used Jacinto’s story in the GOP response to the State of the Union Address, not only seems to have gotten facts wrong, but she also didn’t ask Jacinto permission… pic.twitter.com/2UohWXKhfi
