Alabama Sen. Katie Britt trolled by Triumph the Insult Comic Dog at VP debate

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog strikes again.

This time, the a puppet character, which was created and voiced by Robert Smigel, was in the spin room after the Vice President debate and made most of his time.

“The great Senator Katie Britt,” he started just feet from her, “whose post-State-of-the-Union speech is now considered a Halloween Holiday Classic.”

It’s unlikely the Britt, R-Ala., heard the comment, but she looked up and directly at Triumph when the comment was made, making us wonder, at the very least, she was the topic of discussion.

Triumph also took aim at Donald Trump Jr. as he was leaving the spin room.

“Don, how do you feel about JD Vance?” he asked. “Is it hard to see your dad ignoring someone besides you?”

Earlier this year, Britt responded to allegations that her response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address was misleading.

The criticism centered on a story Britt told about a victim of human trafficking, which she may have implied happened during Biden’s tenure.

“She had been sex-trafficked by the cartels starting at age 12. She told me not just that she was raped every day, but how many times a day she was raped,” Britt said in her response to the State of the Union.

“We wouldn’t be OK with this happening in a Third World country. This is the United States of America, and it is past time, in my opinion, that we start acting like it. President Biden’s border crisis is a disgrace.”

A viral social media post by journalist Jonathan Katz looked more closely at the story and noted that the trafficking happened in Mexico and it took place while President George W. Bush was in office.

She was later asked on FOX News if she meant to imply the trafficking took place during Biden’s tenure.

“I very clearly said I spoke to a woman who told me about when she was trafficked when she was 12, so I didn’t say a teenager. I didn’t say a young woman, a grown woman, a woman when she was trafficked when she was 12.”
