I read that story, too. Obviously, her tears did not spur her to action, like Joaquin Castro, the Texas Representative who went to check out the conditions of Arias and his son, along with other Democrats, at the concentration camp to which they had been consigned. Britt's compassion did not spur her to personally confront the situation at the camp. It's easy to shed tears for others from the safety of your home.

What a hypocrite! Being separated from his father was very traumatic for a five year old child so to say he was cared for by ICE agents (whatever that means) is absurd. And she calls herself a Christian, unbelievable!

If Jesus was telling this as a parable, no one would interpret it as casting Britt in a favorable light. Cooperating with evil is wrong. Feeling bad about it doesn't make it right.

Just "good" acting by bad people.

Performative bullshit. End of story.

Seth, you have not the slightest idea what a knowledgeable player Senator Britt is. She was Student Body President at The University of Alabama, and you think national politics are cut throat, you don’t know nothing about cut throat politics. Campus politics at The University of Alabama are like nothing you would know about. Senator Britt is, to use a phrase: a tough cookie. If she did not think sitting for an interview with The NYT did not serve a purpose she would not have done it. Your vacation at Vanderbilt, would not have exposed you to a similar environment as Vanderbilt is just a southern country club. No Seth Senator Britt is playing the long game. Don’t be surprised if someday she moves on to higher office.

There has got to be a better way of demonstrating that she’s tough than saying that she was the Bama student body president
