Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee-Sanders delivers the Republican rebuttal to the Joe Biden state of the union address. {Direct Rumble link}
In this pointed rebuttal speech, Governor Sanders doesn’t pull punches and hits on the key issues that form the Democrat platform of Joe Biden and the Democrat leadership he represents. It is a very strong rebuttal speech. WATCH:
Did the major fake news networks broadcast her rebuttal or did they black it out and show a bunch of ten minute long pharmaceutical commercials?
Great speech but what stood out to me was her repeated demand that it was time for a new generation of republican leaders. She must have stated it at least a half dozen times. The clear emphasis on youth pretty much eliminates Trump from the picture. In addition, she told the poignant personal story of visiting the troops in Iraq on Christmas day with Trump and Melania but carefully never once said his name. Even several of the commentators at Newsmax noticed it and stated that that
speech pretty much left Trump out of the leadership picture for republicans come 2024.
I thought the same..
Where would Huckabee be without Trump?
Gov. Sanders gave her huge endorsement of Pres. Trump in the telling of the secret flight and meeting with soldiers in Western Iraq at Christmastime 2018.
She is subtle but powerful in her message, prompting my tears at the lengths to which Pres. Trump goes to advance the success of his plans. If that’s not high praise I don’t know what is.
Normal vs crazy!!
So TRUE.
The Huckabees are not supporting Donald Trump-
And check out what Lou Dobbs had to say this morning on Warroom-just what I posted earlier this morning and now-
I’m with Lou in this.
Bingo.
Everyone, every single person listening knew who she was talking about.
Then SAY HIS NAME!!! Why be opaque about it? There are none so blind as those that refuse to see!
She refused to even mention President Trump’s name! How is that any kind of endorsement? Actually, it was more of a slap to his face! Disgusting and unappreciative! She proved her RINO Bonafides is all she really did.
Nowhere, certainly NOT Governor of Arkansas
Exactly………
It’s entirely possible Trump has made his own decisions in the matter and is defacto functioning as ramrod and kingmaker for the next generation of MAGA. The ‘campaign’ is to keep attention focused on the most visible, and despised by enemies, proponent of it. The enemies will never accept MAGA, ever, so PDJT can function to keep the heat off the rest of the crew while they build the base.
Alternatively, pick an establishment GOP or any of those commonly discussed here. They barely get any news time or discussion attention other than as/when juxtaposed to PDJT. RDS is likely the most popular, and discussed.
One can ask oneself has Sarah Sanders overtly or covertly demonstrated disloyalty to or animosity for her former boss? I don’t recall it. I do remember her taking a lot of shots, including personal away from work ones, for her job with him. She remained steadfast. He supported her in her campaign for governor. Is she part of a plan to unilaterally toss him aside? Perhaps. Politics is like that. PDJT knows that.
…. hmmmm…. I think I can see that …
Nope… I do not see that. The Country needs another Trump Term… He is the ONLY one not ‘bought and paid for’, and anyone supporting Rhonda Santis outside of his Florida bailiwick, I believe to be mistaken in their judgement. Just MHO.
And DeSantis hosted a meeting yesterday, giving high praise to the Dominion lawyer suing Mike Lindell, Fox News etc.
We can see where his bread is buttered.
God wins. Mike has the mighty hand of the lord on his,side. He speaks truth
Agreed
Then why is Trump attacking DeSantis?
Ron takes money from Big Money and Big Tech. The Bigs want no part of Trump! My vote goes to Trump!
Interesting observation, very. One of his great talents is exposing people, just by being himself.
3D chess!
A “new generation” doesn’t specifically mean “younger”. Why not take the word, “new” at it’s face value? President Trump is the beginning of the new generation of Republican leaders.
Sometimes we read too much into things.
Maybe we should wait and hear what President Trump has to say about her rebuttal?
Good idea. Let’s stop with the knee-jerk reactions.
I take it as clean out the deadwood. McConnell, Risch, Romney, Boozman, Rogers,Carter, any one who has been there longer than thirty years.
They all just got reelected for 6 more years.
Now, THAT would be a New Day!
12 years is plenty long enough.
The GOP had a lot of new young candidates in 2022, but they were MAGA, not acceptable
I agree Ron. She did a good job overall; lots of platitudes in the beginning but never mentioned Pres. Trump directly. I do think she most likely won’t endorse him until she sees if Gov DeSantis will run(which I think is a foregone conclusion). I like him but as the gov. of Florida only. She was asked about this a few weeks or so ago and she didn’t answer directly. She deferred to a talking point about focusing on governor now and not thinking about 2024. I guess we shall see….
It seems to me it’s always gets to being a argument about an individual vs another individual.
Trump vs Clinton, Trump vs Biden, Trump vs DeSantis…..instead of policy differences.
Assuming that Trump and DeSantis have the same core policy beliefs, which is a large assumption. Who would be the best to fight the DC Establishment, Trump or DeSantis. My bet is Trump.
Trump would only have one term and wouldn’t care about creating Washington enemies. He could really be like a Bull in a China Store.
I think we need a short term and a long term strategy to turn this country around. The potential candidates should be what is best for the country, not their presidential aspirations.
This should be, IMO, a team effort to get us back on track. Trump short term and maybe DeSantis (tbd) long term.
That would be a MAGA/America First strategy for at least 12 years. That is if there really is a general agreement in the Republican MAGA community that DC is really corrupt and what needs to be done to fix it. I guess I really don’t see that, unfortunately for us.
People are just jockeying for their personal desires to get elected rather than fixing the problems we have-so typical of politicians.
Anyway, my rant of frustration.
Sounds like a plan. I still don’t buy Rhonda Santis (borrowed) as an independent thinker/leader (again, outside of Florida). ANY Leader of The USA must be one who is NOT beholden to The Establishment.
Swamp creatures gonna swamp. Evade the questions. She did a good job of that. Trillions at stake. Just knowing that one phrase and keeping it in my fore thoughts everyday, makes it easier to deal with all the liars.
When Trump was elected in 2016, my immediate thought was:
[Great – he will do wonders, but what happens in 8 years. Back to the same ol shyatt – we need Trump but we need more of the same policy leadership long after his terms are up. Who will carry that torch because NO ONE in the line up (2016) even came close to Trump.]
Fast forward to now and all the boondoggles and exposure and without even putting a finger on it, Trump has eliminated all the Bushies, Cruz, Rubio, and now DeSactimonius from contention to gain the Presidency. The GOP line up has been struck out or cuffed.
It has allowed a bleed through of younger MAGA minded choices.
The 20 that stood in the breach of the establishment would never have happened before Trump. He gives moxie to those that have the courage to stand for we the people.
So while the inclination is to think Sanders is following the GOPe plan of pushing aside Trump, I think it may be just the reality that we need many strong MAGA minded leaders after Trump. 5 years will be gone before we know it.
Who stands for us after that?
None of those people are presidential material, and it has nothing to do with Trump.
We Treepers know that, but still that is exactly who the GOPe called off the bench for the Pres run!
Fortunately for us and before their first hit, Trump had nailed two or three grand slams. The GOPe could not take him out of the game at that point.
He willed his way into the nomination because of our overwhelming support. But the GOPe did not like giving up the lever of power. So they planned his take down and are now trying again to influence him out of the game.
Whether Trump is successful in 2024 or a victim of fraud yet again, we will still need some MAGA folks downstream of that or the end of his “third” term or else a lot of his repair will be for naught.
Look at what Biden has done in a relatively short time frame.
As one Treeper reminds us all from time to time, lets not let perfect get in the way of good.
Sanders may be a back stabber or maybe it was a small retreat to get a chance to speak. Make a mental note of the speech avoidance of Trump and use it later if needed. But for now its not detrimental to Trump. No one has forgotten him – even his enemies.
Look at it this way, Trump made DeSactimonious the Gov of FL with endorsement, yet now is opposed to same DeSac. Look at McCarthy as Speaker endorsement after McCarthy publicly rebuked Trump for J6.
I wont forget Sanders omitting Trump from her speech, but I wont turn my back on her either.
Exactly zero of these “younger” GOPe puppets will endorse PDT’s American First agenda because they’re all backed by globalists in some way. All of them can talk a good game but none will go against their globalist puppet masters. Rhonda DeSantis is so obviously controlled by the big club that regardless of how he or anyone else is packaged, none will implement a MEGA agenda that takes power back from globalists
Old retired guy, you said it! Right on!
GREAT Post! Thanks.
That’s not how it works. Trump will TAKE the leadership in 2024.
Sarah, SAY HIS NAME!
President Donald J Trump!
Agree. It was a powerful Speech that included the title and name of President Clinton in talking about the Little Rock nine. It would have been simple to insert the words President Trump once during the inspiring story of her and President Trump’s trip to Iraq. The exclusion appears purposeful. If so it is unfortumate and I hope she will soon fully endorse Trump. Maybe over analyzing it but she is in the governors’ world now and likely keeping her options open for political reasons.
I have to control my rage, so didn’t watch it. But Lou Dobbs, who really I miss, on Bannon’s Warroom this a.m. called out Mz. Huckabee for not once (ONCE) mentioning Trump’s name despite referencing the troop visits he made with her in tow as you mention. Nothing of his name – NOT ONCE, let alone of his many foreign and domestic accomplishments. Dobbs also believes her script was “written by the Republican Governors Association” as a stealth prep for Desantis and the donor class of which Desantis has already begun to demonstrate. WHERE WOULD SARAH HUCKABEE BE WITHOUT DONALD TRUMP? Probably doing “Relaxium” commercials with her father and some country-westrern whiner. These people make me sick.
I just watched that too. It’s sickening. She would be nothing without President Trump. Someone got to her.
Yup I agree.
I also tire of the ‘as a mom’ ‘as a mother’ references.
We’re all for the moms out there but what if every man system (if true) ‘as a dad’ ‘as a father of two children’ or ‘as the father of 3 kids, two boys and a girl, who are in high school and grade school, and zack is playing the trumpet this year ….’
Do we really need to know the names of the kids?
I thought ‘Republican’s didn’t care about identity politics and just cared about competence and not sex race religion ethnicity?
Just do your job Sarah stop groveling for mom sympathy and brownie points I think it does you more harm than good.
You get it! Congratulations and thank you for your insight fellow treeper.
Agree, my impression as well.
Lou Dobbs said the same on War Room this morning. Steve also said she avoided the deeper issues and focused on woke because that’s her level of intelligence and she has joined forces with the Repub Governor’s association and Governor Sanctimonious. couldn’t agree more. She missed the opportunity of a lifetime. She owes President Trump her career and she did this. So disappointed! You can see the video at Bannon War Room Rumble.
I disagree! PJDT is not in Congress, nor in the Senate. THAT is where her reference to ‘youth’ is directed.
Lou Dobbs referenced the same on Bannon’s Warroom this morning. He was disgusted by the fact she never called President Trump by name, instead generalizing who she was traveling with as the president. He said it was clearly a move by the Republican Governors Association getting behind DeSantis.
EXCELLENT COMMENTS!!! The WAR ROOM interview with Lou Dobbs, summarizes it so well. I receive a dozen requests for donations to “winred” candidates, and that all goes to the RNC. Since ronna is still “Chairperson” of the RNC, I will not send them a penny. They have the mega donors, but grass root level politics can defeat the RGA and the “mega morons”.
Sadly, her not mentioning trumps name, told me all I needed to know. Nice try Sarah, some see thru this.
Suspicious Cat says: “Was the ‘spy’ balloon sent by China as a ‘false flag’ to change the media story from the Biden classified document scandal, including the ‘laptop from hell’, which involved China’s myriad of pay -for-play schemes in the US?” Notice the media ain’t talking about classified documents any more!
They will probably find some more and back into the news it will go.
steve bannon had Lou Dobb on his show. Watching it again this am.
It’s worth a view.
In the interview Lou Dobbs AND Steve Bannon clearly have a completely different opinion about Huckabee “rebuttal”.
spoiler: one can be against joe malarkey and at the same time be supportive of the most effective President of the United States arguably since George Washington. The two things are mutually exclusive. Huckabee is showing no support for President Trump. It’s EASY to rail against Joe Malarkey. It’s an entirely different thing to completely ignore the SOLUTION.
God Bless America
+1. And saw it too… and that Dobbs believes her screed was written by the the hard neocon “Republican Governors Association” which it very well could have been.
Best speech ever. And I’ve been around a long time!
Thank you, Governor Huckabee Sanders.
Thank you for posting, Sundance.
The great Lou Dobbs pointed out this morning that dear Sarah NEVER mentioned President Trump by name! Lou says this was an obvious play by one committed to the RINO RGA 2024 plan… we are so Fked…
I love you, Sundance.
She gave a fine summary of the state. For me, Trump gets the GOP nomination or I’m not going to play. There are some fine conservatives out here…but I don’t think any of them are up to the task to even start straightening out what the Biden administration/Dems has done to America and are doing to America.
That’s what all the Democrats want…
Look any GOP President is better than any Democrat.
Trump would do the best as President without doubt. Not sure he can win though.
Don’t know if any GOP candidate can win with Democrat election stealing; and no efforts to address election integrity… and at least stop mail-out mail-in voting with ballot “harvesting”.
Awesome. Brought tears to my eyes.
If America has a future, it will be written by young men willing to kill the enemies of the republic. Nice speech from a fat woman approaching middle age won’t do it.
Thumbs down, PN.
Grrr.
Wake up H3.
The forces of common sense, wisdom, political savvy, communication skills and patriotism run deep in this one.
Run, Sarah, run!
I found the transcript of her rebuttal speech here.
Unfortunately nobody added any sane paragraph breaks, but for those who prefer to read it rather than watch it.

Why didn’t she mention PDJT’s name about going to Iraq?
Curious that Huckabee didn’t mention Trump’s name. Or is that just me?
put this string into DuckDuckGo search engine 👇
sarah huckabee sanders will not endorse trump
My reaction was her speech was from the heart, but lacked policy issues regarding taxes, tariffs, weaponization of the Intelligence Community and Election Integrity.
My impression was her speech was a GOP farewell to President Trump (read old), and an endorsement of young GOP Governor leaders, — read DeSantis, Youngkin, Noem and Kemp.
She is correctly focused on a Common Sense education system FOR HER STATE. That is where most of the change for good is going to have to occur. Public Education Nationwide has failed, which is one reason we have so many young students and people recently “graduated” utterly STUPID. Greenies, globalwarmists, et al, yet not knowing how to add and subtract at a grocery store.
“The dividing line in America is no longer between right or left. The choice is between normal and crazy.” She hit the nail on the head.
She got that somewhat wrong but the RGA wouldn’t allow good vs evil
I’m glad with her
I join with her
and others she encourages
But most of all
I join her call
for truth against Corruption.
Bravo for the Huckabee clan !
This speech was GOPe. All feelings and no results except for moving on from President Trump. We like “most” of his policies but not him. How about jobs, energy independence, Main Street over Wall Street. We get a few culture tidbits while they move the rest of our jobs offshore. She is a Shyster. Getting rid of CRT in the Arkansas schools. Wow, she showed that Democrat prior governor? Oops. Asa Hutchinson was a Republican and was governor for 8 years?? Go Figure. But those Arkansas kids know how to read and do math though. Ooops, only 30% of them can. Many of you new Treepers need to go back to earlier posts and let Sundance open your eyes. You are so easily fooled. She is part of the problem and you do not see it.
It was very GOP – she lacks the courage to cut the cord
I think Sarah Huckabee Sanders rebuttal speech was brilliant. Her speech was the best rebuttal speech I’ve ever heard; Sarah was great.
Great for Ron DeSantis
The personal ‘ names ‘ mentioned
( some less fondly, than others )
Not in order of mentioned nor level of fondness:
-Biden ( multiple times, unfondly )
-Clinton ( Ark Gov from decades ago)
-Huckabee ( dad, Ark Gov from decades ago )
-McCarthy
-God
Then there were less particularly identified references to:
-President ( fond, from 2 to 6 years ago, fondly)
-normal right ( fondly)
-crazy left ( unfondly)
-China
-Iraq
– neighbors ( as in, love thy neighbors )
– soldier ( fondly )
It was a solid speech, and the focus was to illustrate the stark difference in president leadership – while comparing the current 2 yrs ( brandon)
to a former 2-6 years ago ( Trump) ( and if $elections can be obliterated ) future president.
Sarah:
baby
girl
listener
mom / parent
Whitehouse spokesperson
survivor of illness
Governor
messenger
There are some that are looking for a name endorsement in a post sotu speech.
Others look for a solid contrast in vision…looking forward.
In early 2023,
there is ample time for endorsements.
Sarah did help her visibility across the nation.
More importantly is that people can pull together, unite to get past the 4th branch, uniparty, $elections, bad current policies,
with a vision of what can be, if….
p.s.
Promises made,
promises kept.
Proven ( under duress )
[ that’s a genuine, special experience and resume in just 1 candidate, Trump – and the millions of supporters… ]
That could take days of speeches to cover and for people to learn. Days…
( the actions are appreciated )
A campaign has begun.
( if donating, only contribute directly to campaign – because the rnc is unreliable in its disbursement$.
Has Lindell been contacted by RNC for help, yet? )
Election Fraud criminals did not commit election
fraud in the Dade County 2022 election because
Ron DeSantis put in place Election Fraud Police.
Florida Election Fraud Police will enforce the law
and arrest and prosecute these criminals, whereas
Arizona did nothing to stop Election Fraud criminals.
I suspect mike Lindell would disagree
What a disappointment
I reckon I am the only one that didn’t care for it, or the delivery. I used to cheer for this woman, but found this boring and scripted, w/out much passion. And she needs to do something w/the lipstick . Nothing I haven’t heard repeatedly all my life from the GOPe, it felt as if she has gone to their side. She can’t utter his name, President Trump?
I was really enjoying her speech until the part about Republicans. I have no affiliation with the Rep party anymore.
Wayne Allyn Root had a good article this week. Wayne says that the GOP is like the French army–they put up the white flag before the battle has begun. He said that Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders gave a great speech in response to Biden’s State of the Union address. But she left out the three most important things in America:
1) The 2020 and 2022 elections were stolen by the Democrats and the GOP is doing nothing
2) The experimental mRNA covid vaccines are killing Americans. It’s the greatest healthcare disaster in history
3) Biden blowing up Russia’s Nord Stream pipeline was an act of war and Biden’s obsessions in Ukraine have brought us to the precipice of WWIII.
Additionally Sarah never mentioned President Trump’s name. The GOP needs to start tackling the issues that are destroying our freedom and our lives.
