Sarah Huckabee Sanders to deliver Republican response to State of the Union address

Source: CNN Politics

Washington CNN — Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders will deliver the Republican response to President Joe Biden’s upcoming State of the Union address, according to an announcement from GOP congressional leaders.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy announced Thursday that Sanders will give the Republican address to the nation from Little Rock, Arkansas, after the conclusion of Biden’s speech. The president is scheduled to offer remarks before a joint session of Congress next week, on February 7.

In a joint statement, McConnell and McCarthy both touted Sanders as a representative for a new generation of Republicans.

She gained national prominence when she served as White House press secretary under former President Donald Trump, but she was no stranger to politics with her father, Republican Mike Huckabee, serving as governor of Arkansas from 1996 to 2007.

Her lies and overall personality, otoh, are a personal choice.

I don't mean it as a personal attack, just an attack on most of what she stands for; or against.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders admitted in the Mueller Report that she lied as Trump's press secretary. Since lying is a required ritual in the Republican Party, she's the perfect choice to give the response to the State of the Union. - Marc Jacob tweet

Throw $3000 and a round-trip ticket from Spokane to Little Rock my way and I'll come down there and make her over before the big event. I can guarantee three things: the permanent-bed-head hairstyle will go away, the "either bizarre makeup or none whatsoever" face will go away, and the wearing of pajamas while doing official state business will go away.

It would have to be where one takes a drink if she says anything factual.

You'd die of alcohol poisoning in 5 minutes if the rule was to take one for each lie.

If history is any indicator, you'd not take a drop in the first case.

There would have to be a 'consolation rule' though, listening to that many lies would require some sort of liquid therapy.

Suggestions???
