Katie Britt

Wesley Britt returned to X after more than three years to participate in a lighthearted meme featuring his wife, U.S. Sen. Katie Britt, whose reaction during a Senate hearing went viral this week.

The former Crimson Tide and New England Patriots player turned Alabama lobbyist posted on the meme Thursday evening.

It was the first time he has tweeted since August 2023. He shared a photo of his wife’s stunned expression during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday.

His caption read: “My wife watching me sleepwalking and crushing leftovers.”

The senator’s expression became an internet sensation after MSNOW cameras captured her reaction during testimony from Special Counsel Jack Smith about his federal investigations into President Donald Trump.

During the hearing, Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Missouri, accused Smith of perjury for denying he attended an Atlanta Hawks basketball game on Feb. 3, 2024.

When Schmitt asked Smith whether he recalled attending the Hawks game, Smith said he “definitely did not.”

Staffers then displayed a posterboard with text messages that Schmitt claimed showed communications about Smith’s attendance at a game between the Atlanta Hawks and the Golden State Warriors.

“I think you’ve already perjured yourself,” Schmitt said.

The hearing later revealed that Smith had not attended an Atlanta Hawks game but was actually in Maryland watching Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes.

X users quickly turned Britt’s stunned reaction to the false accusation into a meme.

Actor Maris Tomei even got in on it, sharing a thread including her Oscar-winning testimony from “My Cousin Vinny.” The 1992 hit comedy was set in Alabama.

Sen. Britt reposted her husband’s version Friday morning, saying “Nailed it.”
