Journalist Jonathan Katz fact checked Katie Britt’s horrific rape story from her over-the-top rebuttal.
Despite all the drama, it turns out to be a story that happened 20 years ago - and not in the U.S. but in Mexico. It’s a story that was recounted in Congressional testimony in 2015.
Katie #Britt lied when she blamed this on Joe #Biden’s border policies and when she said it happened in the U.S. #SOTU

Why do people never verify their examples?
Do they really think no-one will check?
Have they never heard of the internet?
