Karla Jacinto, the woman whose story Alabama Senator Katie Britt appropriated for her Lifetime audition-style monologue Thursday night, tells CNN Britt was lying about the circumstances of their meeting and is tired of assholes like Britt using her story for political gain.
“I hardly ever cooperate with politicians, because it seems to me that they only want an image. They only want a photo – and that to me is not fair,” said Jactino. “I work as a spokesperson for many victims who have no voice, and I really would like them to be empathetic: all the governors, all the senators, to be empathetic with the issue of human trafficking because there are millions of girls and boys who disappear all the time. People who are really trafficked and abused, as she [Britt] mentioned. And I think she [Britt] should first take into account what really happens.”
