TL;DR Summary

Republican Senator Katie Britt used a decades-old account of a young woman's sexual abuse in Mexico to criticize President Biden's border policies during her party's response to his State of the Union address. The victim's abuse occurred in Mexico from 2004 to 2008, not in the U.S. or during the Biden administration. Britt's spokesperson confirmed that she was referring to the Mexican woman's account, and the senator has made immigration a top issue. The Republican party has been using immigration as a focal point to criticize Biden's presidency, with former President Trump also blaming Biden for a recent murder.
