Things are reportedly growing tense between Donald Trump and his former press secretary, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R), who is apparently drawing the ire of Trump’s camp for her neutrality in the 2024 presidential primary. Sanders had told Trump’s campaign that she wouldn’t be making an endorsement until after her first legislative session, two sources familiar with the discussions told Axios. But that session ended in May, and with still no endorsement from Sanders, Trump is reportedly growing increasingly irate. In March, Trump said that he “never asked” Sanders for an endorsement, but “nobody has done more for her...

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is set to ban drag shows in order to 'protect' children after already cracking down on critical race theory in schools. Sanders and her supporters said the bill, which would re-define drag shows as 'adult-oriented performances,' is meant to protect social values.... Arkansas Senate Bill 43, which was filed last month, is aimed at placing restrictions on where drag performances can take place. The bill goes on to define a drag performance as ....

Arkansas Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders will prohibit the use of the term “Latinx” in government documents through an executive order. Sanders, who was sworn in as the first female governor of Arkansas on Tuesday, justified the ban of the word “Latinx” in government documents and name titles by citing a Pew Research poll that found only 3% of American Latinos and Hispanics used the term to describe themselves. “Ethnically insensitive and pejorative language has no place in official government documents or government employee titles,” Sanders’ executive order states. “The government has a responsibility to respect its citizens and use...

Donald Trump made a surprise stop at campaign event for former press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders as she runs for Arkansas governor. Sanders, whose father Mike Huckabee served as the 44th Governor of Arkansas from 1996 to 2007, had announced her campaign in January.

Democrats have not been shy about their priorities in this 116th Congress. The chairmen of some of the most powerful committees on the hill have begun the year by launching investigations into President Trump. They are going after his finances, his business dealings, his election win, and, of course, his relationship to Russia. House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) sent letters to 81 individuals and groups associated with Trump, demanding documents in his quest to discover if the president is guilty of obstruction of justice and other abuses of power. Those conclusions could potentially lead to impeachment. "President Trump and...

News outlets report Stephanie Wilkinson, co-owner of the Red Hen, resigned Tuesday as executive director of Main Street Lexington. […] The Red Hen has not reopened since that night.

There was a rumor back in the 1950s that fluoridated water was all part of a Russian plot against America. Apparently it was just a trial run. Now it appears they are putting something in our farm-to-table food chain  that creates a breakdown in the capacity to reason, causes a loss of self-control and results in the complete breakdown of civility. The Red Hen, a den of hate and lack of tolerance but home to “honesty, compassion, and cooperation.”My only question is how did the Ruskies find something that only effects progressives? Raging totalitarian lunatics. They’re worse than Hitler.Posted from:...

Huckabee Sanders claims it was because of her boss, Last night I was told by the owner of Red Hen in Lexington, VA to leave because I work for @POTUS and I politely left. Her actions say far more about her than about me. I always do my best to treat people, including those I disagree with, respectfully and will continue to do so TMZ reported earlier this morning on the incident: The waiter at The Red Hen said, “I just...

Two male, liberal columnists this week launched personal attacks against White House press secretary Sarah Sanders. Los Angeles Times columnist David Horsey mocked Sanders’ appearance, saying she “looks more like a slightly chunky soccer mom who organizes snacks for the kids’ games.” “Rather than the fake eyelashes and formal dresses she puts on for news briefings, Sanders seems as if she’d be more comfortable in sweats and running shoes,” Horsey wrote on Wednesday. “Yet, even if Trump privately wishes he had a supermodel for a press secretary, he is lucky to have Sanders.” Another columnist, the New York Times’ Frank...

RUSH: Mike Huckabee, he and his daughter went on The View yesterday. Did you know this? Why? Why do our people go on these shows and be insulted? Joy Behar, who’s, what, 84 now? (interruption) Me? No. Joy Behar looked at Mike Huckabee, and she said, “Let’s not pretend that Trump hasn’t said some horrible things about women. Let’s not pretend.” And of course Huckabee’s nodding and so forth and the audience of these crazy left-wingers is going nuts. And then she says, “How can you, how can you have your daughter, how can you send your daughter to defend...

Even the “Mean Girls” weren’t this mean. Just moments after President Trump promoted Sarah Huckabee Sanders to the role of White House Press Secretary she was attacked by a swarm of woman-hating liberals. First, the propagandists at The New York Times and MSNBC questioned Ms. Sanders’ character and called her a liar, but now journalists are attacking her physical appearance. Ira Madison, III, of The Daily Beast, likened Ms. Sanders to a drag queen in a hateful Twitter post. “Butch queen first time in drags at ball,” he tweeted to his followers – along with a photograph of the press...

“Look, I don’t think that the president’s ever been someone who gets attacked and doesn’t push back. There have been an outrageous number of personal attacks, not just to him but to frankly everyone around him. People on that show have personally attacked me many times, this is a president who fights fire with fire,” Sanders said on Fox News. “And certainly will not be allowed to be bullied by liberal media or liberal elites within the media or Hollywood or anywhere else.”

Press Secretary Sean Spicer will soon be taking on a new role at the White House, overseeing the entire communications operation including the press office while giving up some of his day-to-day duties at the podium, Fox News has learned. While Spicer's new title is still being decided, his new role will be considered a promotion to a position at the level of deputy chief of staff. Unclear is who will take over the regular duties as press secretary -- though President Trump is fond of Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ performance to date -- or who will become...

In Thursday’s White House daily briefing, Deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders held her own in another pinch-hit appearance for Sean Spicer, tussling with ABC chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl over the timeline for James Comey’s ouster from the FBI.  At one point in the briefing, Huckabee Sanders had clearly moved on from Karl to another reporter, but he nonetheless continued shouting and Huckabee Sanders invited Karl to “trade places” with her. If not, he’d best remain quiet because “I think it's my turn now.”‘I Think It's My Turn Now!’ ABC’s Karl, WH’s Huckabee Sanders Quarrel Over Comey FiringThe...

White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders slammed Politico on Friday as not being trustworthy. During the White House daily press briefing, a reporter asked Sanders about a Politico story on the Trump administration planning on gutting the Office of National Drug Control Policy's budget. Sanders answered by giving the reporter some advice. "Look, my first piece of advice would never be to use Politico for a source for your story," Sanders said. Sanders then said she could not comment on the budget right now because it is just a draft. No reporters asked Sanders about her comments on...
