Donald Trump‘s hoping to work closely with some of the hottest Congress has to offer … saying Katie Britt‘s a “fantastically attractive” person — before mentioning she’s a U.S. Senator.
The 45th POTUS appeared at a Fox News town hall in Georgia Tuesday, where he talked about women’s issues in front of an all-female crowd … talking specifically about in vitro fertilization treatments — even labeling himself “the father of IVF” in one particularly bold claim.
A member of the audience addressing DJT notes abortion rights fall within the purview of the states, not the federal government … and, she asks him if the same should be true when it comes to IVF.
Trump immediately launches into an anecdote … describing Kate Britt as a “young, just a fantastically attractive person from Alabama,” then mentions she’s a senator — sort of a side point.
He goes on to say a judge shut down IVF in Alabama, and Britt took a lot of flak over it. Once she explained the process to Trump though, he says he immediately told her he’s all for it … saying his potential administration would be cool with IVF.
Trump mentioning Britt’s looks before her résumé in a room full of female voters had a lot of people shocked online — and, we gotta say it ain’t a great look for a guy courting female voters.
ICYMI … the Alabama Supreme Court ruled in February that embryos created using IVF are protected via the Wrongful Death of a Minor Act — saying these embryos are considered children. The ruling has led to several IVF clinics in Alabama ceasing operations.
Sounds like Trump’s totally backing IVF now … though hopefully, Senator Britt’s looks aren’t too distracting for him.
