“Good evening. I’m Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
“Being a mom to three young children taught me not to believe every story I hear. So forgive me for not believing much of anything I heard tonight from President Biden. From out-of-control inflation and violent crime to the dangerous border crisis and threat from China, Biden and the Democrats have failed you.
“They know it. And you know it.
“It’s time for a change.
“Tonight, let us reaffirm our commitment to a timeless American idea: that government exists not to rule the people, but to serve the people.
“Democrats want to rule us with more government control, but that is not who we are. America is the greatest country the world has ever known because we are the freest country the world has ever known, with a people who are strong and resilient.
“Five months ago, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. It was a hard time for our family, particularly for our kids – Scarlett, Huck, and George – but we kept our faith and persevered.
“Thanks to exceptional doctors here in Arkansas, a successful surgery, and the grace of God, I am cancer-free.
“Through it all, I couldn’t help but think about my mom.
“She was 20 years old and in her first year of marriage when she was diagnosed with spinal cancer. The doctors told her she might not live. If she did live, they said she’d never walk again, and if she did walk, she’d definitely never have children.
“The daughter she was told she’d never have was just sworn in as the new Governor of Arkansas and is speaking to you tonight.

Maybe the full text will show up on a better source?
She sure talked about herself a lot.
I refuse to deal with crazy.
It reminds me of my ex
I don’t know, who’s decision was it to have Huckabee make the “official” rebuttal instead of Trump?
What’s with the Republican Party?
I think she was trying make sure the viewers understood that she can relate to their pain because she is like them......maybe a little overkill.
I recall Charles Manson answer to the question "Are you crazy?". -
Crazy? Me?? Back in my day, crazy meant something. Today, EVERYONE is crazy!!
Isn’t the SOTU rebuttal usually delivered by a politician currently in office?
Awesome speech! I want HER to be the first female president
You didn’t read the same speech I read.
She IS in office. She is the Governor of Arkansas. You read the speech, right?
.
It was AWESOME! Calm, Down to earth. Faith is a big factor for me. I was proud of her. AMERICAN GREATNESS in full display, even with a cancer diagnosis.
Great speech. One excerpt (not from Marketwatch):
One excerpt
“At 40, I’m the youngest governor in the country. At 80, he’s the oldest president in American history. “I’m the first woman to lead my state. He’s the first man to surrender his presidency to a woke mob that can’t even tell you what a woman is.”
In the radical left’s America, Washington taxes you and lights your hard-earned money on fire, but you get crushed with high gas prices, empty grocery shelves, and our children are taught to hate one another on account of their race, but not to love one another or our great country.”
Whether Joe Biden believes this madness or is simply too weak to resist it, his administration has been completely hijacked by the radical left.”
The dividing line in America is no longer between right or left. “The choice is between normal or crazy.”
Biden tried to come across as relatable, too.
She shoulda just come out and said it......good versus evil is what it REALLY is
I was responding to a post that asked why Trump didn’t deliver it.
He also has surrendered his presidency to the chinese communist party, pFizer, and the WEF.
Not to mention that Biden’s speech was full of puffed air. Not many specifics to rebut.
Spot on, Ben Lurkin.
As a rebuttal to Biden's outrageous State of the Union Address, Sarah Sanders comeback was a rambling, total DUD...and a completely-wasted opportunity for a laser-like dissection of his speech !
Leni
Maybe she wants get in line for the VP sweepstakes.
The name she didn’t mention may yield a clue as to who’s campaign she won’t be a part of.
