Sarah Sanders acted like Trumpie didn’t exist and turned that hokey secret Iraq trip into a story about her. It didn’t go over well with some of the MAGAs:
Prominent supporters of former President Donald Trump on Wednesday criticized Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address.
Sanders, who served as Trump’s White House press secretary, delivered a rebuttal to the president’s speech that largely focused on Republican culture war issues and accused Biden of surrendering his presidency to a “woke mob that can’t even tell you what a woman is.”
“Most Americans simply want to live their lives in freedom and peace, but we are under attack in a left-wing culture war we didn’t start and never wanted to fight. Every day, we are told that we must partake in their rituals, salute their flags, and worship their false idols, all while big government colludes with Big Tech to strip away the most American thing there is—your freedom of speech. That’s not normal. It’s crazy, and it’s wrong,” Sanders said, later adding that the “dividing line in America is no longer between right and left — it’s between normal or crazy.”
Former chief Trump strategist Steve Bannon lit into Sanders’ speech on his “War Room” podcast on Wednesday, criticizing her for failing to mention Trump’s name.
“It was an insult to President Trump. She does not exist politically if it was not for President Trump,” he said.
Bannon called Sanders’ speech “terrible.”
Bannon made the comments while speaking to longtime Trump booster Lou Dobbs, who was fired from the Fox Business Network for spreading false election claims.
Dobbs said the speech was a “great insult” to Trump, complaining that Sanders did not even mention his name when she discussed going on a Christmas visit to Iraq with the former president and the first lady.
“It looked like the Governors Association had written that speech and aligned themselves with Ron DeSantis. It was a shame,” Dobbs complained.
“You are right this was like written by Ron DeSantis and the entire RGA,” Bannon agreed.
