Alabama Sen. Katie Britt on Sunday acknowledged that the graphic anecdote she employed to criticize President Joe Biden’s border policies didn’t occur during his presidency.
I like this kind of news because it gets her on the record for lying. Too often in this modern world GOP politicians just keep lying until journalists give up on asking. She has admitted to lying.
The thing that’s frustrating is her response that she didn’t lie, which is technically true. But she refuses to say that she was intentionally misleading.
No it doesn’t. If she says a lie and someone else proves she’s lying, then she’s on the record for lying.
Why on Earth should it be important for journalists to get an admission? Did she change her ways? Are journalists going to stop publishing what she says? Is she going to be shunned from public life?
