The backlash from Alabama Sen. Katie Britt's Republican response to President Joe Biden's State of the Union address is not going away. Even Turning Point USA's Charlie Kirk called out Britt's performance, saying, "So they decided, hey, let's go put Katie Britt in a kitchen and have her act as if she's a C-level replacement actress for a Netflix special," he said. Kirk noted that Republicans want to win over support from suburban women, but he needs to talk to his hero, Donald Trump, because he's doing it wrong, too. It is fun to watch them squirm, though, with each blunder.

"There's been a lot said in the last couple of days of how do we win over suburban women," Kirk said. "The Katie Britt attempt at her State of the Union response was well-intentioned."

"The intention was, of course, how do we win over suburban women who might be center-right in their policy beliefs, center-right in their philosophical disposition, but they keep on voting for Democrats," he continued. "So they decided, hey, let's go put Katie Britt in a kitchen and have her act as if she's a C-level replacement actress for a Netflix special. And it's amazing."

"If you look at Katie Britt, actually how she talks and how Katie Britt spoke on camera, it was a mockery," he said. "In fact, CNN, SNL made a mockery of the entire deal. "

"You want to talk about kitchen table issues?" Kirk asked. "Kitchen table issues is not Katie Britt fake acting where she doesn't even mention Trump's name. And again, there's a clip here that contrasts how she actually talks versus how she talked. And again, some people say I'm being too hard on her."

"This is not personal," he continued. "If this is Super Bowl. It's either you make the field goal or you don't. And she missed. And I want the best for her. She's got to stay in the party. Very nice and sweet person."

"If she would have spoke how she actually speaks as a human being, I think it would have been a home run," he said. "And by the way, if she were to fire the people around her that wrote her speech, she'd been completely different.

"You know, if Katie Britt just would have said," he added. "And by the way, when I talk to moms, they're wondering why so many kids have allergies and health issues, autism and diabetes. That would have that would at least piqued the curiosity of the demographic that you..."

Yes, she should blast anyone and everyone who set that nightmare of a response in motion. But mostly, she should put herself on blast for going full MAGA. She used to be normal:
