‘When You Get In The Arena, You Get Arrows’: Sen. Katie Britt Responds To Backlash From SOTU Response

/in , , , , , , /by

Republican Alabama Sen. Katie Britt responded Friday on Fox News to the “arrows” thrown at her after delivering the GOP’s response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address.

Britt appeared on “Hannity” to discuss her rebuttal Thursday evening to Biden’s SOTU, in which she called out Biden’s policies that have impacted the country’s economy, border and foreign affairs. However, following Britt’s speech, the Alabama senator received massive backlash from both Democrats and Republicans over her delivery, as some stated that it missed the mark among GOP voters.

“I hope you don’t read social media cause whenever you do anything big, like you did last night, it can be brutal. Welcome to my daily world. My advice is never read it,” Hannity stated.

Britt responded to the Fox host by stating that the backlash is “worth it” because she is “fighting” for the American people. The Alabama senator continued to note how “hard-working families” need to be fought for in D.C. and called out Biden for appearing “detached” from voters.

“You know, Sean, last night I called people to get into the arena and when you get in the arena, you get arrows. They get thrown at you, but it’s worth it when you’re fighting for the American people. When you’re fighting to make sure that hard-working families, just like you said in your last segment, that they are seen, that they have a voice for the things they’re concerned about — that they’re worried about — that we’re actually talking about them. Things that we talk about around our kitchen table Joe Biden seems to be detached from reality and somebody needs to bring him back and quick,” Britt responded. 

CNN panelist Alyssa Farah Griffin reacted to Britt’s speech Thursday evening, stating that it “fell flat” with women because the senator was placed in the kitchen. Likewise, Outkick columnist Mary Katharine Ham told Fox News anchors Friday that Britt’s response could have been “more effective” if she had taken down the “delivery about two notches.”

On social media many people responded to Britt’s speech in the same manner, calling out the senator’s missed opportunity with voters. Internet personality Collin Rugg slammed the speech as a “massive disaster” and questioned why the GOP didn’t decide to reach out to other “talent.”

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk stated in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter) that the speech was not what was needed and ripped her for talking like she is “hosting a cooking show.” Conservative commentator Ann Coulter additionally weighed in on Britt’s rebuttal, writing that the senator drenched “her speech in estrogen.”

TAKE ACTION: Media Matters attacks Hannity advertiser USAA whose base is military members

/in , , , , /by

Media Matters is targeting companies that advertise on Sean Hannity because of his conservative values.

Media Matters provides a list at the bottom of this article of companies that advertise and companies that stopped advertising.

USAA is one of seven companies and the largest company that has stopped advertising on Sean Hannity.  USAA tweeted the following:

“As a forty-one year member of USAA and proud member of a military family I am shocked that USAA would bow to the pressures of the extreme left.”  Proclaims David Caton, President of Florida Family Association.

USAA provides insurance and financial services to millions of active and retired military personnel as well as their families.

There is no doubt that the super majority of the millions of military families USAA serves believes in the public policies and social morals espoused by Sean Hannity.

USAA tweeted “Advertising on opinion shows is not in accordance with our policy and we’ve since corrected that.”  USAA must have just adopted that policy because USAA ads have appeared on Sean Hannity and numerous other opinion shows for years.

The fact is USAA caved to leftists who do not represent the values of the super majority of their members.  USAA’s decision goes against the core values of their membership base.

If USAA truly has a policy not to advertise on “opinion shows” then USAA must stop ALL advertising on CNN and MSNBC because their entire programming including news is opinion based and loaded with fake news.

Unlike many cable news programs, Sean Hannity routinely gives honor to military leaders, fallen heroes and military families in need.

Florida Family Association has prepared an email for you to send to urge USAA officials to continue advertising with Sean Hannity.

Look What Was Just Uncovered About Former Hannity Sponsor USAA

In a post on their website Newsbusters, Media Research Center reports:

A quick search of our recent recordings shows that USAA advertised routinely on cable news channels, so then you can wonder what their “policy” is? Do they somehow think Hardball is not an “opinion show”? Is Chris Cuomo yelling at Republicans on New Day a “news program”? Advertisers can’t just claim they’re not supporting wild partisan opinions and hope no one notices that their claims of a “policy” aren’t true when you watch TV.

Here’s video of a USAA ad on MSNBC’s Hardball With Chris Matthews on May 24.
