Britt's people are acknowledging that her story can be described, at best, as fiction based on real events:
Britt spokesman Sean Ross on Saturday confirmed to The Associated Press that the senator was speaking about the account of a young Mexican woman who told of being repeatedly raped in Mexico from 2004 to 2008 — when Republican George W. Bush was the U.S. president.
Ross said people are still victims of “disgusting, brutal trafficking by the cartels.”
Britt herself is brushing offing the criticism, without denying that the story as she told it was a fabrication“I’ve said, in [Biden’s] first 100 days he had 94 executive actions, and those executive actions didn’t just create the crisis. They invited it,” Britt said in a “Fox News Sunday” interview with Shannon Bream.
“The truth is, and the media knows that they’re not covering it, that human trafficking has gone up under President Biden,” she continued. “If you look back under 2018, it was a $500 million industry, human trafficking by the drug cartels. It is now a $13 billion dollar industry. Shannon, the drug cartels are winning under this. This is a story of what is happening now.”
I am reminded of this old joke:
Radio Yerevan was asked: “Is it true that Rabinovich won a new car in the state lottery?”
Radio Yerevan answered: “Yes, it is true. Only it was not a new car but an old bicycle. And he didn't win it, but it was stolen from him.”
