BREAKING: Trumper Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders is caught in a massive new scandal as rep
BREAKING: Trumper Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders is caught in a massive new scandal as reporters reveal that she spent a whopping $20,000 of taxpayer money on a podium that was never delivered and then tried to cover it up by abusing her power.
It all started when it was revealed that she wasted $20,000 on the wooden podium. Then, the Arkansas Republican Party swooped in and paid for the podium in order to save her from the growing scandal and Huckabee Sanders quickly got a law passed that would block the public from knocking what she had spent their money on.
Unfortunately for Huckabee Sanders, the scandal was only just beginning, and about to get MUCH worse for her, because a REPUBLICAN lawmaker smelled a rat and immediately demanded that the Legislative Audit of Arkansas initiate a full audit of her podium purchase and every single another purchase that she had made with taxpayer dollars.
Now, reporters, auditors, and ethics organizations are accusing Huckabee Sanders of using the $20,000 of taxpayer money to pay a friends company and that it appears that the podium was never even delivered.
To make matters worse, they claim that Sanders show used taxpayer money to fly her friend, who happens to be one of the organizers of Trumps January 6 insurrection, to Paris to join her on a trip.
Im other words, Huckabee-Sanders inflated the price of a wooden podium that appears to have never even been delivered, funneled the taxpayer money to an insurrectionist friend, and then tried to hide the purchase from taxpayers and reporters.

(24,653 posts)Through the lens of scope and scale rather than is it or isn't it? Sigh. I loathe Trump and the GOP for making $20,000 look like pocketing a candy bar.
On the other hand, I bet this is just one example in a pattern to be revealed.

Girl paying off her friends. I bet fat Daddy is happy about that. You know, the guy who is peddling a sleep aid on Fox, along with his pal, the Pillow Guy.
Buy the pillow,along with the slep aid you will sleep like a baby, never mind daughter stealing from tax payers!
Who does she think she is,Ivanka?

The only question I have is: did she consult her Daddy before starting her sleaze parade, and if so, did he feed her the IOKIYAR line to reassure her?

(6,828 posts)Usually, they compare Kentucky or Mississippi to make them look better. Not sure it will play well this time. The Huckabee clan is actually doing that of which they accused the Clintons. Who would'a guessed? Business as usual.

(5,128 posts)That should have been the first warning. Having known more than a few preachers kids, I can tell you the rare one is the one that does not go wild once they hit 12-14. Hell, at one point, in my little town of 500 (but five churches... can't have enough of them around, now can we?) every preacher had at least one kid in trouble with the law. One of them had both of his in trouble.
Your experiences may vary.

It's so much easier than worrying about what is found out.

Makes you wonder about her fathers time as Governor. Would be nice if someone could look back and see if he was grifter too.
