In the GOP response to tonight's #SOTU, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee is to say: "...the Biden administration seems more interested in woke fantasies than the hard reality Americans face every day. 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," Gov. Huckabee to say.

@w7voa soooooooo.... Huckabee is opposed to the Pledge of Allegiance?

Weird flex for a Republican but ok...

@w7voa ... Their flags?
@ElDiabloRoboc @w7voa Around here there is a family that flies a pride flag and it is regularly ripped down by local deplorables, I would guess that is the flag she means
@CascadeTommy @w7voa Who the heck has even been forced to SALUTE a pride flag?
@w7voa @ElDiabloRoboc for those people, seeing is the same as saluting
@w7voa
Ah, so that's where Rocinante got up to, I'll let Don know
@w7voa Oh, FFS, just secede already.

@w7voa

This? THIS is a real rebuttal speech to the State of the Union?

The GOP is worse than dead. The Christian Nationalist cordyceps that has been growing inside the Republican Party's head has finally burst out for all to see as Sarah Huckabee reading, out loud on national television, an officially sanctioned GOP speech that explicit.

Joe Biden's speech is going to be "we can still work together."

Sarah Huckabee? "A left-wing culture war we didn't start and never wanted to fight." In other words, "you have left us no choice but to wage war on you."

@w7voa Obvious counterpoint: LGBT folk and black folk just want to live their lives too, but Republicans keep trying to strip their rights to life and liberty.
@w7voa sounds as if she’s talking about far right evangelical governors actually!
@w7voa sounds like 60s activist talk? 😂

@w7voa

Honestly? No one will watch the sister of the dog killer embarrass herself on national tv.

@w7voa why do we care what she has to say? She lied for trump constantly, she's the American Baghdad Bob

@w7voa

Hahahahahahahahah!!! What a maroon she is.

@w7voa the responsible follow up to that statement is to ask her what drugs she is on.
@w7voa these mfers here
@w7voa they have nothing now. No policies. Just this. Pathetic.
@w7voa Notice how she frames “left” as distinct from “Americans.”
Michelle Wolf Jokes About Sarah Huckabee Sanders’s Eye Makeup

The comedian is getting flak for “calling out” Sanders at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Racked
@w7voa There's one lying haint I wish had just gone away.

@w7voa

Good Lord. Then they can simply stop fighting it. I dare them.

@w7voa every fucking thing is exactly the opposite.
@w7voa Please tell her to shut up. How valuable even is the State of the Union response if it's prerecorded, before she has seen any transcript, or watched him rehearse the speech? She's going off all the same guesses on the subject matter that we're all guessing. That's not a true response.
@w7voa Quadrupling down on White Christian Nationalism... 🙄... shenanigans to prop up minority rule are the GOP's only hope.
@w7voa I wish journalists would press right-wing politicians on what, exactly, they mean by "woke". From everything they say, it just means "not bigoted". If that's not it, then would they care to explain?
@w7voa she is probably the worst choiceto give a response considering her involvement in the last administration
@w7voa is the culture war because you want to shoot people as and when you please? Or control what people read? Please clarify... (hope she does)
