Former White House propagandist/noted homophobe Sarah Huckabee Sanders is currently running to be the Republican nominee in Arkansas’ 2022 gubernatorial race.
This week, she kicked off a 15-stop “Freedom Tour”, where she’s taking her message of hatred and bigotry to the unmasked, unvaxed MAGA masses around the state.
On Monday, Sanders, who supports every kind of LGBTQ discrimination, tweeted a photo of herself and her father Mike Huckabee (not to be confused with Ted Cruz) along with the caption: “Pretty cool moment tonight being introduced by my dad @GovMikeHuckabee at my first rally.”

I thought that was Ted Cruz.

Was he the one that taught you to not be concerned with the truth?

Then yesterday, Sanders stopped by Russellville, a small city best known for being home to the only nuclear power plant in Arkansas.
Sanders popped into a cafeteria filled with mostly 70-100 years olds, hardly any of whom were wearing masks, despite an enormous spike in COVID-19 cases all across the state.
“Thank you Russellville! I am running for Governor to be your voice, your fighter, and your leader to defend our freedom and empower our people,” Sanders tweeted after the superspreader event.

You’ve sure won over the college kids!

It looks like you went to a nursing home…

You forgot to mention you’d be their “liar” as well. That’s something you’re VERY good at.

Hardly any masks and lots of seniors. I wonder how many will be around to vote?
— John Crook (@johncrook) September 7, 2021
Any time you say anything, Sarah, I just assume that you’re lying.

Anyone worthy of being elected would have made this an event where vaccines & masks were mandatory. You, madam, are unworthy. #COVID19 #vaccine #MaskMandates

According to a Talk Business & Politics-Hendrix College Poll taken earlier this summer, 43.5% of respondents said they held a favorable view of Sanders, compared to 41.5% who said they held an unfavorable view and 15% who said they didn’t have an opinion either way.
The official date for the 2022 Arkansas Republican primary election has not yet been announced. The general election will be held on November 8, 2022.

Interesting that this monster has the time to campaign when she’s so often seen in the forest with her fellow Sasquatches.
G-Man
That made me laugh out load, good one!
Jere
Does she have ANY qualifications at all, aside from being the daughter of a governor and being one of several press secretaries during the Trump administration? I know that experience and qualifications are not a requirement, especially in the GOP, but this really seems like a bad idea. She should be running for City Council or state legislature in whatever town she lives in.
Roy Moss
She’s exactly what the people of Arkansas want – corrupt, ignorant and driven by little other than hate and greed. She and the hillbillies in Arkansas deserve each other .
barryaksarben
Her promises were so vague she could be running for any job from the drive thru at McDonalds to astronaught. Any specifics tat wont turn voters stomachs? Show them the hate you have for the other in our communities , that should show them just how ugly you are on the inside
GrizzleyMichael
She is just as ugly as Trump.
Tombear
Sarah was the fat and ugly girl who was bullied in high school!

Little known fact about Sarah:
In 2004, she was the third runner-up in the 19th Miss CHUD Universe Pageant.

Poor Arkansas.

It seems that only in Arkansas could the Huckabees be a prominent family. I hope the people of Arkansas don’t confirm all the stereotypes and elect her, but I fear they will. Too bad, because they deserve and could do better.
Tombear
Sarah didn’t like it when I told her Jesus may save but Moses invests. She didn’t like that!
Liquid Silver
Sadly, even the article notes she has a +2 positive response in Arkansas. Which is hardly surprising.
Max
didn’t realize Mrs Potato Head came to life.
Cam
Her brother tortured and killed a dog as a teen and Sarah Huckabee took taxpayer money and lied to American citizens every day, as well asl claiming to be a “Christian” and yet loudly supporting an adulterer who was credibly accused of sexual assault by over 2 dozen women.
That is apparently what Republican Family Values parenting gets you.
James
She is so ugly, in every way.

She will spread Covid to everyone.

Let Ms. Huckabilly Sanders have these super spreader events. If she kills off enough Republicans, perhaps Arkansas will turn blue in 2022,
