Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders took aim at the “radical left” in her Republican response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on Tuesday night, framing her party as the champion of freedom, of young leadership and of traditional governance.
And, she said, the Democrats are helmed by a weak, old leader and a party that has succumbed to “crazy.”
Sanders, a former White House press secretary during the Trump administration, dove head-first into controversial social issues, while attempting to describe the Biden administration as being “more interested in woke fantasies than the hard reality Americans face every day.”
“Most Americans simply want to live their lives in freedom and peace, but we are under attack in a left-wing culture war we didn’t start and never wanted to fight,” she said. “Every day, we are told we must partake in their rituals, salute their flags and worship their false idols, all while big government colludes with Big Tech to strip away the most American thing there is — your freedom of speech.”
“That’s not normal, it’s crazy and it’s wrong.”
Sanders, the 40-year-old daughter of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, was inaugurated as the head of Arkansas’ government early this year, which made her the youngest head of a state in the nation.
The GOP selected Sanders last week to present a new and younger Republican face in an attempt to court young voters, which the Democrats have done successfully for decades.
From the governor’s mansion in Little Rock, Ark., she contrasted herself, the youngest-sitting governor, against Biden, the oldest president ever, and accused him of surrendering the nation’s highest office to “a woke mob that can’t even tell you what a woman is.”
“Whether Joe Biden believes this madness or is simply too weak to resist it, his administration has been completely hijacked by the radical left,” she said. “The dividing line in America is no longer between right and left: the choice is between normal or crazy.”
During her roughly 15-minute speech, she touched on executive orders she signed during her first day in office to ban the “indoctrination” of students as well as banning the gender-neutral term “Latinx” from government use as a push back against the left and examples of commonsense governance and new, strong conservative leadership.
“It’s time for a new generation to lead,” she said. “This is our moment. This is our opportunity.”
Sanders did not directly address Biden’s State of the Union address, or delve into issues such as inflation or foreign policy, but accused the president of refusing to stand up to China, to defend the U.S. border, its skies or its citizens.
“He is simply unfit to serve as commander and chief,” she said.
Strangest moment of the evening.

In his own response, former President Donald Trump, who is campaigning to be the GOP nominee for the 2024 presidential election, blamed Biden and “the radical Democrats” for a litany of issues Americans face, including the border crisis, inflation and crime.
He also said Biden had “weaponized” the Justice Department to persecute political opponents, pointing to himself as evidence as he is under criminal investigation concerning a trove of classified documents he took following the end of his tenure at the White House.
He added that Biden was “leading us to the brink of World War III” and that the Democratic Party is “trying to indoctrinate and mutilate our children,” seemingly in reference to inclusivity education in schools and gender-reaffirming medical care for transgender minors — the latter of which he vowed to end in a campaign promise early this month
“The good new is we are going to reverse every single crisis, calamity and disaster that Joe Biden has created,” he said in the 2-minute speech. “I am running for president to end the destruction of our country and to complete the unfinished business of making America great again.”

And good and evil, moral and immoral, beneficial and destructive. It appears that the Democrat Party has become disciples of Satan.

We must be prepared and stop another manipulated election by this traitorous, socialist Democrat Party!!
Sarah is one of the most important female characters in the Bible’s Old Testament. She is described as the wife of Abraham and mother of Isaac, and later becomes known as the “Mother of Nations.” Her Hebrew name means Lady, Princess, noblewoman.
The surname Biden is a name derived from the Old French word boton, which means button, as in button your lip lest you fall off and get sewn back on that which is tattered and torn, by a collective of political pinheads more interested in stealing and wearing Joseph’s envied coat of many colors, than earning bright white Angelic garments, with “the belt of truth buckled around the waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.” Perpetually unprepared President Joe has created so many crisis, he can’t remember which he created to never let go to waste, so it is WE THE PEOPLE who go to waste in his corruption of many colors where the unifying garments of political peace, just arrive tattered and torn to pieces.
You assume we CAN stop them stealing the election in 2024..
“First Lady Jill Biden and Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff went viral on Tuesday night for their on-the-lips smooch at President Biden’s second State of the Union address.” Which just goes to disprove the saying “ Once you go black, you never go back”,,,also disproved now in politics, and soon the Harris voting public, who thanks to Kamala’s poor performance in office, will never go back,,,to voting black for people who use race as a two edged sword that cuts BOTH ways.
Thanks, Sarah for the Best GOP SOTU Rebuttal that you delivered against the PRETENTIOUS Pronouncements of the Current PRETENDER TO THE U.S. PRESIDENCY, Dirty, Demented, Hollow Uncle Joe (who really does not deserve to be addressed as a Mr. President as he and the CCP stole the 2020 Election right from under our noses!).
Now, unto Jill: First it was a Public Date with Roger Stokoe Goodell, and now Smootching in Public with Douglas Emhoff. Is it a NO-GO with YOU KNOW WHO ANYMORE?? You are as Dirty as it comes. So how do you Stack up with Melania?
She certainly has done well, since leaving the white house press office, under Trump..
Sarah did a great job just as I thought she would. She’s a governor now, getting a lot of good executive experience, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see her in the White House someday, assuming that we can get the corruption out of the election process and instill some common sense in voters. That’s a tall order.
Now, about that disgusting picture in the middle. Someone needs to buy me a new keyboard. What the H— is going on with those two? I don’t know how old Emhoff is but Biden’s squeeze is in her 70s. That’s just sickening.
Yes Sarah did do a fine job, as she always has. I too suspect that down the road a bit she will be a very viable candidate for POTUS. She has so far proven herself to be one of the most stable, rock solid people who have served the people. BTW, that poor pathetic little moron reading Biden’s teleprompter, is nothing but a joke.
The state of our union is disastrous, but when I hear leaders like Sarah Sanders Huckabee stand up for the America most of us want and love, I’m encouraged. The downside is the left is getting more insane every day, but the upside is we are now prepared to go to war with them. Conservatives are creating an army to fight the radical left and it isn’t just in Govenor’s mansions or Washington. It’s moms and dads fighting against CRT and the deviates who want to sexualize their children. Every time someone says enough is enough, we gain a little more ground. The fight won’t be easy but protecting the America we all love and preserving a way of life is worth it.
