Sarah Huckabee Sanders slams 'radical left' during keynote speech at Indiana GOP dinner

Five months into her campaign for Arkansas governor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders preached American exceptionalism, condemned the “radical left” and regaled the hundreds-strong crowd with sentimental anecdotes of her time as former President Donald Trump’s White House press secretary during her keynote speech at this year’s Indiana Republican Party spring dinner.

As she stepped up to the stage at the JW Marriot in downtown Indianapolis Friday night, she did not miss the opportunity to deliver a jab about dealing with the news media in her previous capacity as President Trump’s press secretary.

“Normally when I go up to the podium nobody ever claps,” she said, to resounding applause from the hundreds of Hoosier Republicans in the audience. Sanders had a combative relationship with journalists during her time in the White House. Notably, after President Trump called the press “the enemy of the people,” Sanders refused to reject that characterization, saying that the President had “made his comments clear.”

Sanders also leveraged her position as a mother of three preschoolers to make a larger political point.

You didn't get applause or praise because you lied and covered for a dishonest, immoral, uncaring asshole. And what does being the mother of three preschoolers have to with anything? It doesn't make a person a more effective legislator. Oh, I forgot- legislation is the last thing the Repugs are concerned about these days.

This is two recent out of state events for the candidate. Looking for those sweet, sweet mystery donors.

Just. Drop. Out.
