Miss the days when a White House press secretary would take press questions directly instead of “circling back?” Well, at least directness in the White House press briefing room can lead to other opportunities, as Sarah Huckabee Sanders is finding out.
According to Arkansas-centric Talk Business and Politics, Sanders — who’s running for governor of the Razorback State — took in over $1.6 million in the fourth quarter, far more than any of her competitors.
Sanders was a fixture as former President Donald Trump’s press secretary between 2017 and 2019, where she did battle against the mainstream media. (She’ll likely continue doing that, given that the media wants to smear any Trump-era official they can get their hands on.
During the fourth quarter, Talk Business and Politics reported, Sanders raised $1,626,070, bringing her total to $12,892,345 raised.
Of that, she currently has $7,342,155 cash on hand.

Sanders’ only serious opponent was Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge, according to Fox News. Rutledge called Sanders a Washington insider: “While my opponent talks about the liberal left in Washington, D.C., she has done nothing to effectively combat them in the last several years,” she said in September.
However, Rutledge dropped her bid in November, saying it was time for “Christian conservative leaders to unite” behind Sanders.
Arkansas’ current governor, Asa Hutchinson, also threw his support behind Sanders in November, saying the state would “be in good hands” with her as governor.
“I’ve known Sarah Huckabee Sanders most of her life and know firsthand her love for our state and her heart for public service,” he added. “Sarah has earned the Republican nomination and I’m delighted today to endorse her for Governor."
This is Arkansas: The state of Hilldog and Bill.
But without electoral integrity, it doesn’t matter how much moola you raise. I hope the GOP in Arkansas can get behind voting reform to make sure we don’t lose our progress again.
What has Sanders done that means she will be an effective governor? I wish her well but she did not even maintain order in the White House press room. Is being loyal to MAGA policies enough?
So, you’ll vote Democrat. Okie dokie!
I was always amazed at how prepared McEnanny was.
When someone asked a stupid question you could almost hear them gulp when she started leafing through her three ring binder.
Some guys love her so much they’d get excited big-time to see her in a swim suit.
Yes
Uh she did an outstanding job with keeping order even though leftist media sent in their biggest hater attack dogs. They hated her womanly figure. They hated her ability to answer with quick facts. They hated that she was a woman. They hated that she was a mom. They hated that she was a conservative.
She handled those press briefings like a boss even though they were extremely hostile and vicious to her from the beginning.
Looks like he may have another.
Seriously. Can’t we keep Asa for another term? He’s such a helper
Naysayers have no place here regarding her. She’s perfect. Holds her own. It’s what we’re ALL up against that she fought. What’s really important is her high profile background-don’t you naysayers get it? No need to know who she is. That fact alone saves a lot of money. Same with Dr. Oz though I’m not sold. Pennsylvania is still purple and we need to keep the seat. That Kayla woman who succeeded her should run too. Easy on the eyes and a stand-up gal we don’t have amongst the men-folk.
Has there been a Democrat in the Governor's Mansion since the Clintons left Arkansas?
Hopefully, because it is certainly a bottom line requirement.
Haha. Bill: Ah’d rather let the Re-Pubs stay in power because it’s all Ah kin do to control thuh White House an’ keep controwl over mah many charitable ow-ganizashuns these days!
Hilldog: *snappishly* Who wants to be governor? It’s too much responsibility!
Sorry I omitted the /s/. Hutchinson’s a POS, and Sanders will be a stellar governor
Amen...
Your lack of understanding leaves me speechless, which is rare.
It turned my stomach when I heard she endorsed the RINO Boozman.

“DO NOT FORGET what they’ve done to you.
Do not let their sudden realization they are in bad shape politically excuse the last
two-plus years of abuses.
They shut down your job.
Called many of you “non-essential.”
Closed your kids’ schools.
Expected you to live off $1200 for months while they got richer and richer.
Denied you the ability to be with your dying loved ones.
Then denied you the ability to give those loved ones a proper funeral.
While they let George Floyd have three.
While they went on vacation.
Visited family.
The hair salon.
They arrested you for paddle boarding by yourself.
They shut down the parks and the playgrounds.
They called you a grandma killer if you questioned them.
Suspended you from social media if you didn’t obey the narrative.
They called you domestic terrorists when you demanded your kids get the
education your tax dollars paid for.
They mocked you when you demanded a return to normalcy for children.
They sneer at your concern over empty shelves and exploding grocery and utility
bills.
They denied you the chance to try alternative treatments for COVID.
Then they fired you for not getting the vaccine.
When you stand up for your freedom, they call you Nazis and bigots.
Do not forget what they have done.
Do not forgive them.
They are hoping that, by November, you have forgotten the nightmare of the last 2+ years.
YOU struggle to make ends meet and the best the Biden administration can do is
free crack pipes for “racial equity.”
This is on top of the woke, cancel culture bull they shove down our throats, the
2020 riots, being accused of racism and bigotry because we oppose their agenda.
As the election draws closer, they’ll pretend they didn’t do any of this.
They’ll gaslight us.
Project.
Blame the GOP (like they tried to when defunding the police went south).
DO NOT give them power.
They haven’t learned a damn thing from this.
You re-elect them, and you can expect masks and lockdowns and nonsense in
perpetuity.
Not just for COVID, but for whatever else they deem a
“public health emergency” (guns, climate change).
(Remember, they are the very same people who ignore a pubic health emergency
aka AIDS.)
They will trample your rights.
VOTE THEM OUT.
NEVER FORGET.
REMEMBER in NOVEMBER”
