It was painfully obvious that Governor Huckabee Sanders (it pains me to type that) had written that godawful speech well in advance of the SOTU, and not a single word was changed after the SOTU was over. While the President addressed real issues that affect real Americans, Huckabee Sanders spoke of a "dystopian hellscape" (Senator Chris Murphy's description) where "woke mobs" and CRT instructors lurk under the bed with the bogeyman, waiting to kidnap your children.

President Biden was masterful. Huckabee Sanders was an embarrassing caricature of her MAGA-liar self.

(P.S. If you're unfamiliar with the "Dark Brandon" memes, you should look them up. President Uncle Joe went into full-on "Dark Brandon Mode" last night, and I for one am here for it!)

After the first self-serving 2 minutes it was hard to watch; so I didn’t.

Agree 💯! I call her upchuck Huckabee.

Revulsion is what I feel every time I see her. Can't listen to her.

It’s difficult to name the most shameless character in the Trump orbit, but she’s certainly in the top tier.

I was physically nauseated by her response. She just oozes hate & distain. Her recounting of the Christmas jaunt was beyond cringe worthy, I almost couldn’t believe my ears.

“Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a hideous figure in American life. She lacks character, dignity, honesty, self-awareness and respect. By that measure, she was the perfect choice to speak for a party in which a low man like Kevin McCarthy has risen to the top — or at least to the short line at Mar-a-Lago. What a disgrace, and what an embarrassment for Arkansas.“ I would add an embarrassment for the Unites States. She truly is one of the absolute worst of the worst.

After hearing that voice for 90 seconds - PTSD & flashbacks set in & I had to turn her off. Literally 2 completely different sets of realities

Wow Steve! You hit the nail on the head and broke it with the truth of all your statements. You are an amazing storyteller and fact checker. I really enjoy reading your daily news articles. I live in MAGA Florida where the looneys in the extreme right wing government are making all these mean, insane WOKE laws like “Don’t Say Gay”, “Banning Books”, getting rid of Teachers Unions and creating made up conspiracies. How the heck this state became so far right extreme GQP controlled is a shame! I’m a progressive Democrat and will fight hard in FL to protect Women’s reproductive rights, voting rights, LGBTQ+ rights and workers rights! American Democracy needs level headed leaders like President Joe Biden and VP Kamala Harris to lead us into the bright future of hope and prosperity to all Americans. I ain’t moving! 😻🏡🇺🇸🌈

No holding back here. The best thing that she ever did of which I am aware is leave the Red Hen when asked.

She was, is and always be repulsive, following in the steps of her mentor, Trumpty Dumpty! How anyone can listen to and/or like what she says is beyond comprehension!

100% agreed Steve with everything you say. I didn’t watch either, just look at the drab droop of her face which tells us alot about her dingy stained message. Is the paint dry yet?? And once again ~ thank you for your videos! This is one fan who never tires of watching your expressions and hearing your voice. It makes your message all the more powerful. Please keep bringing them on!

😂😂😂”She peddles fear and platitudes in a stew of performative outrage, seasoned with two dashes of malice, a sprinkle of division and a dollop of imbecility.”

After the results of the 2016 election and compounded by the January 6, 2021 domestic terrorism, I've had a great deal of anxiety with full blown panic attacks on a regular basis. I could not watch the SOTU live as I feared a higher level of heckling and disruption from the moronic so called "freedom caucus". I read the transcript this morning: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/

Then I went through my Post.News feed to get impressions from people I trust and my Substack subscriptions. I saw a photo of Huckabee-Sanders in my news feed. She looks like a witch with the perfect backdrop being her witches den. She reminds me of the cruelest women in Amy Coney-Barrett's very creepy people of praise sect.

Tonight I will watch Judy Woodruff interview President Biden on PBS Newshour. That will be comforting. President Biden's Communications team need to really get him out more on television where he actually speaks to the interviewers face to face or on video. Face the Nation and other Sunday talk shows would be great - extended conversations. He needs to drop in to the daily press briefings more as well.

My goodness her rant truly boggles the mind. We have a number of wannabes here in Canada who like to throw up these ridiculous platitudes. We miss the best of America.
