It took less than 3 months in office for Gov. Huckabee Sanders to ask ‘big government’ for money – By Walter Einenkel (Daily Kos) / Apr 5 2023
All the way back on Jan. 16, 2023, newly elected governor of Arkansas, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, went to her twitter account and barfed up this gem: “As long as I am your governor, the meddling hand of big government creeping down from Washington, D.C., will be stopped cold at the Mississippi River.”
Big words coming from the former public-facing liarist for the Trump administration. Did I say “big words”? I meant hollow braggadocio. But probably more importantly, if you follow Republicans in leadership for any period of time, you know that Gov. Huckabee Sanders’ pronouncement of independence from “meddling” had just started the clock on her inevitable moment of hypocrisy.
That moment came on Tuesday, less than three months after making her strong proclamation of state independence from the tyranny of “big government.” Over the last few days, Arkansas is one of the states that has been hit by severe storms and tornadoes that have led to deaths and destruction of property and infrastructure. On Tuesday, Gov. Huckabee Sanders, without even the slightest hint of humility, announced that after seeing all of the damage her state has taken, she wanted some help. And some money. From big government—you know, like the deep state.
