Sen. Katie Britt’s proud parents were her greatest supporters and biggest fans. Her father, Julian Boyd, said, “I am really excited about the possibility of my daughter becoming the first woman to represent Alabama in the U.S. Senate” in 2022.
In the current scenario, they relish their daughter’s political advancement as she stood up for the people of Alabama by becoming a GOP representative. But seeing their daughter get roasted might not be the greatest bliss.
A recent skit on Saturday Night Live dedicated a spoof episode for Katie Britt to highlight her State of the Union response.
Actress Scarlett Johansson took on the role of the freshman senator from Alabama. She introduced herself by saying, “My name is Katie Britt, and I have the honor of serving the great people of Alabama. But tonight, I’ll be auditioning for the part of ‘Scary Mom.’ I’ll be performing an original monologue called ‘This country is hell.”
Scarlett’s Katie Britt added, “… like any mom, I’m going to do a pivot out of nowhere into a shockingly violent story about sex trafficking. Rest assured every detail about it is real … except the year, where it took place, and who was president when it happened.”
The episode also focused on Katie Britt’s Instagram post, with the caption, “To the American people: Our future starts around kitchen tables just like this. With moms and dads just like you.”
She might have tried to highlight her journey to politics despite her parents coming from a typical American family, working 6-7 days a week to provide a better life for Katie Britt and her sisters.
However, things took a wrong turn. The post’s message received criticism, with radar high on her kids, especially her daughter.
Fans’ reaction to Katie Britt response might not do good to her kids
Fans seemed agitated by Katie Britt’s speech on meeting a 12-year-old girl in Texas who was a victim of sex trafficking, connecting the dots with the Biden administration’s border policies issues.
They started commenting on every Instagram post of Katie Britt, and the words were not something a parent would like to hear about their children.
One of the followers wrote, “You actively support a se*ual predator leading our country, and you lied about a se*ual assault victim to score political points. How Christian of you. A disgrace that you have children while exploit the suffering of other peoples children. Would you leave your daughter alone with Trump? How would you feel if your daughter was harmed and a politician lied about her on national tv?”
Another follows the comment, stating, “You need to apologize to all the sexual assault survivors for lying to America. Please stop weaponizing women’s bodies & harsh realities. You are a woman & have a daughter… none of us are immune from that level of pain. Empathy helps”
“Oh, your poor daughter 😢,” comments another user. The following comments indicate that people might have gone against Katie Britt and her family.
Amidst the crisis, the conservative Christian beliefs and parents of Katie Britt are also becoming the target of criticism, for people believe she is acting beyond the values.
What do Julian and Debra have to say about their daughter’s ups and downs in her political journey?
Julian and Debra Boyd have always regarded their children as their pride. Even Debra’s Instagram posts have moments filled with Katie Britt, her other three sisters, and Debra’s grandkids.
Her parents tried every way possible to give their children the best they could and instilled Christian beliefs from a young age. Even Katie Britt is thankful to her parents for being the best mom, dad, and grandparents.
During her parents’ 43rd anniversary, she wrote, “Happy 43rd anniversary to the best role models, parents, and grandparents anyone could ask for!…..I grew up watching my mom and dad work 6-7 days a week to provide a better life for my three sisters and me….”
Julian and Debra also never let any external affairs affect their support for their daughter. Even recently, Debra stood close to her daughter as a support pillar.
She posted a photo of the voting day recently on March 7. As for her dad, he seems to be more private since he has not opened up about himself in public apart from his words during Katie Britt’s candidacy period with his proud moments.
The only public fact about her parents is that they both own small businesses in her native Wiregrass. This must also explain Katie Britt’s idealism and campaign focused on growing good-paying jobs and supporting small and rural businesses among Alabamians.
