Gonna repeat again: This is who the #GOP is. Their collective horror at this woman grimacing through her comfortable life is horror at themselves.

Daily Beast's Jake Lahut:

NEW on private GOP freakout brewing over Katie #Britt's #SOTU response:

“Everyone’s fucking losing it. It’s 1of our biggest disasters ever.” Being likened to Rubio water bottle moment & Bobby Jindal's infamous 2009 SOTU response.

@GottaLaff LOL, I forgot about that Bobby Jindal disaster. Hard to imagine anything being worse than that.

@GottaLaff I loved this:

Julia Ioffe, Washington correspondent for Puck News, said: “Imagine you’re sleeping over at a friend’s house and you get up in the middle of the night to pee and you hear a weird sound so you follow it to the kitchen, where your friend’s mom is drunk, crying, and rambling about the national debt. Those are the vibes from Katie Britt right now.”
