  • Deception (80%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the article implies that Senator Katie Britt has a clear understanding of what constitutes an American dream and how it has turned into a nightmare for many families. However, this claim is not supported by any evidence presented in her speech or anywhere else in the article. Secondly, Senator Britt claims that President Biden's border policies are senseless and disgraceful without providing any concrete examples of these policies being harmful to American citizens. Thirdly, Senator Britt uses a tragic incident involving Laken Riley as an example of how dangerous the border is but fails to acknowledge that her own state has recently been at the center of national headlines for its restrictive abortion laws which have prompted many GOP lawmakers to distance themselves from them. Lastly, Senator Britt's speech heavily focuses on immigration and crime without providing any concrete solutions or plans for addressing these issues.
