U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville gave a post-game critique on fellow Alabama senator Katie Britt’s much scrutinized response to President Joe Biden’s March 7 State of the Union speech.

“That obviously didn’t go over too well,” Tuberville told CNN’s Manu Raju in an interview Thursday on Capitol Hill that aired on Inside Politics Sunday.

“I would think that our leadership would have vetted that a little bit more because I would imagine they helped her with that.”

Raju noted that an incident involving a case of sex trafficking recounted by Britt happened during the administration of President George W. Bush, not Biden.

“That’s a mistake made, but it was a good point of emphasis of what really goes on from the border,” Tuberville said. “I think that’s what she was trying to get over more than anything.”

Asked about her delivery and tone, which was mocked by comedians and spoofed by Scarlett Johansson on “Saturday Night Live,” Tuberville said it reflected Britt’s personality.

“I thought it was good,” Tuberville said. “She’s that type. She gets emotional. That wasn’t something that was just brought up. She’s really emotional about being a mom and her kids.”

As for delivering the speech from a kitchen, Tuberville said that needs to reflect the speaker.

“If I’d have done it, would I have done it from a football field?” said Tuberville, the former head football coach at Auburn University.

“Who knows. You just got to make the decision you think fits the best for you. She obviously was up there because she’s a mom.”
