Sarah Sanders mocked for 'I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I' meltdown at press
Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR) has spent weeks dogged by questions from reporters and even lawmakers in her own party about the suspicious use of state funds to purchase a $19,000 lectern that no one seems able to locate — and when asked about it at a news conference about a new missile factory in the state, she lost it at the press.
Her conduct was roundly mocked by Austin Bailey in an editorial for the Arkansas Times Friday.
"A new $33 million facility will create 30 new jobs to crank out missiles for Israel’s Iron Dome and a similar U.S. system, the SkyHunter® missile. The first batch won’t roll off conveyor belts until 2025, but that didn’t stop Sanders and the defense contractors from throwing a huzzah to Israel and yawping Arkansas’s hawkish swagger," wrote Bailey. "'We don’t shy away from being America’s arsenal,' Sanders said. 'We’re not bashful about building the aircraft and weapons that are necessary to keep America safe.'"...
