U.S. Senator Katie Britt of Alabama appeared on Fox News’ “Hannity” to discuss several topics, including the decision to move the U.S. Space Command’s permanent headquarters back to Huntsville, Alabama. She credited former President Donald Trump for making the decision based on merit and prioritizing national security.
“We are so excited to welcome Space Command back to its rightful home of Huntsville, Alabama. This is a big moment, and it’s all thanks to President Trump … He allowed it to be a merit-based decision, and he put national security and the warfighter first. Unfortunately, President Biden chose a different path … he actually took the advice of his Secretary of the Air Force, who told him it should be in Huntsville, and disregarded it because he wanted to play partisan politics.
“Alabama is excited. We welcome this (relocation) with open arms, and we are ready to get to work. I have said often that national defense means a great deal to Alabama, but today shows that Alabama means a great deal to national defense.”
Senator Britt also addressed concerns about New York City’s political climate amid rising support for mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. She commented on potential impacts if Mamdani were elected.
“At the end of the day, if Mamdani wins, we know that crime rates are going to go through the roof.We know that [Democrats] will be treating illegal aliens to a five-star luxury guest experience in New York’s hotels, once again. We also know that … New York City, [which] has been the king of capitalism, will see businesses flee. And at the end of the day, that’s not what’s great for our country. What we need [are] commonsense approaches.”
