Karla Jacinto Romero experienced sex trafficking in Mexico from 2004 to 2008, twenty years before Biden took executive office.
In her rebuttal to Biden's State of the Union, Republican Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama used what appears to be a sex trafficking victim's experience from the early 2000s to condemn President Joe Biden's current border policy.
"That's where I spoke to a woman who shared her story with me," Britt said in the video."She had been sex trafficked by the cartels starting at the age of 12.", an activist who has publicly testified about her experience with sex trafficking, which took place from 2004 to 2008 in Guadalajara and other Mexican cities."We wouldn't be okay with this happening in a third-world country," she added."President Biden's border policies are a disgrace.
Sean Ross, spokesperson for Sen. Britt, did not deny that Jacinto Romero is the sex-trafficking survivor in question but doubled down on Britt's story.
