Sarah Huckabeast Sanders Goes Heavy On Far-Right Grievances In State Of The Union Response

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders waded deep into culture war issues in the official Republican Party response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on Tuesday.

The former White House press secretary for President Donald Trump delivered a searing speech one might typically hear during prime time on Fox News. The 15-minutespeech included a litany of far-right grievances about so-called “woke” mobs that she claimed are indoctrinating American children about race and gender, alongside more conventional GOP criticisms of Biden’s policies.

“I’m the first woman to lead my state. And he’s the first man to surrender his presidency to a woke mob that can’t even tell you what a woman is,” Sanders said of Biden in a seated address from Little Rock, Arkansas.

“We are under attack in a left-wing culture war we didn’t start and never wanted to fight. Every day, we are told that we must partake in their rituals, salute their flags and worship their false idols,” she added, in another veiled attack against the LGBTQ community.

Didn't watch her speech and it sounds like I didn't miss anything. Just the standard right wing talking points.

Verbal vomit of memorized talking points, not an actual response to what POTUS actually said.

"Gov. Sanders appealed to 11% of the Republican electorate."

Whoever said that was spot on! I had Sanders on MUTE.

She's only where she is because of her father's name, not her own merit. She was a poor WH press secretary who often lied, and is now a governor and SOTU rebuttal spokesperson because of riding on her father's name. There's nothing outstanding about her. She's even latched onto DeSantis' anti-woke racism as she's got nothing of her own.

While telling them they live in the freest country in the world forgetting about you’re not free to get an abortion, burning classic books you’re not free to read, wanting to restrict your love of other humans… yeah real free.

except to serve their corporate overlords and grift money from their supporters. Her speech is the personification of her party. Stand for nothing, say nothing.

"woke mob that can’t even tell you what a woman is" -- What is a woke mob? Would that be black people demanding equal rights, dignity, and respect? Does she see black people acting together as a dangerous mob? I'll bet she didn't see the J6 insurrectionists as a mob.

"We are under attack in a left-wing culture war we didn’t start and never wanted to fight." -- That's a blatant lie. No, it's the right wing that is constantly waging culture wars.

"Every day, we are told that we must partake in their rituals, salute their flags and worship their false idols,” -- Seems like it's the RW evangelicals, who are demanding that everyone recognize that their version of god is the only one that counts.
