“So listen, Katie Britt is definitely a rising star among Republicans. I think it was a smart choice. She's an incredibly impressive person. She ran a smart race in Alabama. But I have to say that this presentation was strange to me: a woman can be a wife, a mother, and a politician,” Griffin said.

“So to have her in the kitchen, rather than in front of a podium or in the Senate chamber where she was hard-fought elected, I think was very out of line and confusing to some women watching. It was an opportunity. I think her focus on the border and the economy is what Republicans wanted to hear. The substance of what she said was great. The direction was very, very strange.”

Britt, a former president and CEO of the Alabama Business Council, defeated Alabama Representative Mo Brooks in June 2022 to become the youngest Republican woman to enter the Senate at age 42.
