Sarah Huckabee Sanders

There’s discord in the MAGAverse!

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the gay-hating politico “nepo baby,” hasn’t endorsed Donald Trump for president.

And that’s making her former boss unhappy, Axios reports.

“Tensions between Donald Trump and his former press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, have grown over her neutrality in the 2024 presidential race,” sources told Axios.

Originally, Sanders said she wouldn’t offer an endorsement until her first legislative session ended. She is the governor of Arkansas, at least in title. (Sanders has spent her summer tweeting hot takes about Hunter Biden and taking a taxpayer-funded European vacay.)

But it looks like Trump’s old mouthpiece performed a bait-and-switch. Arkansas’ legislative session ended in May.

It is now late July.

And still no endorsement.

Awkward…

“One Trump ally described the feeling as: ‘You should always dance with the person who brought you,'” says Axios.

Trump reportedly asked for Sanders’ endorsement in March, and she declined.

Instead of dancing with Trump, it seems like Sanders wants to get close to his chief rival. Axios highlights her burgeoning relationship with Ron “Don’t Say Gay” DeSantis, and possible future presidential ambitions.

Sanders is creating a mini-Florida in Arkansas, and that’s not a compliment. The ex-press sec signed her own “Don’t Say Gay” bill and appointed Jacob Oliva, the man responsible for crafting the anti-LGBTQ+ legislation in Florida, to lead the state’s education department.

In addition, she signed a law barring transgender teachers and students from using school bathrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identities, and banned use of the gender-neutral term “Latinx” in state documents.

And one of her executive orders requires Arkansas teachers to acquire parental approval before addressing students by their proper pronouns.

There are plenty of problems in Arkansas. The state is currently suffering through a brutal heat wave, and one town hasn’t had clean water for nearly four weeks.

Overall, Arkansas is the fourth poorest state in the nation, with a mounting affordable housing crisis and massive food insecurity.

A Scholaroo survey found the state ranks 49th in the nation for quality of life and 50th in the nation for quality of health.

Instead of solving these serious issues, Sanders has created her own transphobic beer koozies.

“Meatball Ron” must be so proud.

But what about DJT? Per usual, the wounded drama queen didn’t mask his feelings.

“I never asked Sarah Huckabee Sanders for an endorsement,” he posted on his Truth Social platform. “I give endorsements, I don’t generally ask for them. With that being said, nobody has done more for her than I have, with the possible exception of her great father, Mike!”

The anger is palpable!

When asked for comment, Sanders issued a supportive statement of Trump; but once again, didn’t endorse.

It won’t be pretty when he finds out about this latest diss.

In the meantime, Sanders will be fighting her culture wars, and getting dragged for it…
