During a campaign event for former President Donald Trump Tuesday, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders suggested Vice President Kamala Harris is not humble because she does not have biological children.

The comments came during a town hall the governor moderated in Flint, Michigan, at first joking about how her children’s innocent remarks can make her feel humble despite her high-profile position.

Sarah made the kids painstakingly write all the content on that paper by hand for $1/h and made them do it a thousand times until it looked like it was computer printed.

[-] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

At least after 40 hours overtime kicked in and they would be making $1.50/hr....

[-] Kichae@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

But they're only getting paid for the time a primter would take to print it, because why should she pay for more for less?

[-] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

This is just so perfect

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 4 points 2 weeks ago

That's a lot of work to make breakfast and lunch for all the kids in MN!!

[-] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 66 points 2 weeks ago

Aren't the Republicans own strategists screaming that this tactic isn't working?

Yeah, guess she didn’t get (or couldn’t read?) the memo

[-] Marafon@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 weeks ago

As someone who went to Arkansas public schools I can assure you she "cain't reed."

You've no idea if she's looking at you or looking for you.

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 12 points 2 weeks ago

One squirrel shootin’ eye and one tater diggin’ eye

"Cain't" has always bugged my brain.

First, it should be spelled "c'a'i'n't". Second, what does "can are is not" mean?!?!

[-] Marafon@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

See: Arkansas public schools.

[-] Artyom@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

You didn't get the memo? I'll make sure someone gets you a copy. You see, we're putting a cover sheet on all TPS reports now.

Y… yeah… I got the memo, it’s right here

[-] odelik@lemmy.today 9 points 2 weeks ago

What, you expect a former Whitehouse Press Secretary to be current with her party platform?!

[-] frezik@midwest.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

I wouldn't doubt it. One thing Republicans used to be really good at was message discipline. Trump has almost literally eaten the brain of the party and those days are gone.

[-] Hayduke@lemmy.world 47 points 2 weeks ago

I didn't know Slagathor was still making noise. The bigger question is, why are we listening?

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

It's low rent quasi modo, get it right.

[-] anticolonialist@lemmy.world 38 points 2 weeks ago

That cunt needs to STFU about everything

[-] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 weeks ago

I thought she had gone away. Too bad.

[-] anticolonialist@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

She gov of Arkansas

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 35 points 2 weeks ago

First, this was a GOP talking point long ago. She's late to the party. Second, she had to include "biological children", inferring raising a kid that isn't yours by DNA means you have NO CLUE what being a parent is like. Adoption and foster parents would think differently.

Seriously, Sanders, get your own state in order before you chime in on things. And Arkansas, do better next time.

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 weeks ago

The GOP is also the same party that tells people getting abortions to "PuT iT uP fOr AdOpTiOn!"

[-] nutsack@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago

I fucking love not having any kids. life is good as fuck

[-] WhyFlip@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I fucking love my kids. Life is so great!

[-] nutsack@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

hell yes brother get it

[-] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, be like the right with people like Palin and Boebert showing us how great their kids are and how good they parented them.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

Fascist apologist says what?

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 weeks ago

Why? Because she won't have enough underage workers for her state?

[-] nforminvasion@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

Fucking hell. These people and their birthing kinks.

Not an antinatalist, and not saying if you have kids you have a birthing kink. This is specific to these fundamentalist freaks who have this weird obsession with having kids for the sake of having kids.

Being a parent I'm sure can be an amazing thing and you can do it for the right reasons but this... Weird evangelical need to force people to birth and force people to enjoy it is wild

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 8 points 2 weeks ago

This is specific to these fundamentalist freaks who have this weird obsession with having kids for the sake of having kids.

And having kids the "right way," so no

  • ivf
  • pain killers
  • cesarean
  • adoption
  • step children

I get that for many people, birthing a child will be the most dramatic experience of their lives (understandable), but there are other experiences to centre.

The majority of people physically can't have children at all, and we get up to all kinds of other things to define ourselves.

[-] Soup@lemmy.cafe 6 points 2 weeks ago

Explain to me how what she thinks is relevant?

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz -2 points 2 weeks ago

Can we throw a dig at Sanders for looking like a Muppet that's been curb stomped by Elmo several dozen times?

Seriously, let's crowdfund some corrective surgeries for that vile twat.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 weeks ago

If all you find to attack someone on is their physical appearance then you might as well just shut up... There's plenty to criticize Republicans for.

[-] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

It's not the only thing, it's just funny that on top of being ugly on the inside, so many of them fall squarely into uncanny valley on the outside too. It's an interesting pattern to observe. Now quit shaming people for speaking their minds on a casual discussion forum. They aren't hurting anybody.

Not all just the tip of the iceberg but funny none the less

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz -1 points 2 weeks ago

So I'll start the GoFundMe with a meager donation of $5.

Any contributions from the morally superior ones on the audience?
