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.

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 1 year 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.

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

[-] frezik@midwest.social 5 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[-] anticolonialist@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago

That cunt needs to STFU about everything

[-] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 year ago

I thought she had gone away. Too bad.

[-] anticolonialist@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

She gov of Arkansas

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 34 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[-] nutsack@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

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

[-] WhyFlip@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I fucking love my kids. Life is so great!

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

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.

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 8 points 1 year 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 20 points 1 year 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 6 points 1 year 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.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Stop normalizing attacking people based on their physique, no matter where it's done there's nothing ok about it and you wouldn't accept it if it was an attack coming from the other side towards someone you appreciate.

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

I don't attack people who don't make a name for themselves by hurting others.

You aren't in any position to gatekeep me or my speech. I appreciate the moral apprehension to join in, you're encouraged to not join.

You're not here to teach me a lesson let alone anyone else here, keep that in mind 🫶

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Then attack them on what they did, not on what they look like. Attacking people based on their appearance just shows that you don't have anything better to attack them on either because they're actually right or because you don't know enough to present a more compelling argument against them, in which case, as I said, you might as well just shut up.

[-] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Are we not allowed or capable of having nuanced, diverse thought about a person? There's certainly more than one thread in these replies...

Nobody is saying she's bad because she's ugly, just that she's ugly. You can draw those conclusions if you're bad faith, but they're obviously faulty conclusions that are more like what a parent tells their bullied child to make them feel better than anything politically sound.

This isn't the senate floor, this is lemmy. Maybe that guy doesn't care that much about the politics, maybe they do. We can't really tell from this comment alone. Regardless, they have just as much a right to be here as you do. So, you "just shut up" first lol and learn how to use a period while you're at it.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm sure if it was someone you liked your would be in agreement with me, that's the problem with these attacks, they have no value and disagreeing with them is as simple as saying what I've been saying from the get go "If that's all you have then clearly that person must be right."

If you think it's a good thing to lower yourself to their level to attack them then you're no better than them.

[-] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lol no I wouldn't be. It's a silly line of attack to get upset over. Depending on the person I'd tell them they're wrong and/or they have other merits and move on with my life.

You are more than welcome to disagree and have a discussion about it but shutting down and telling them to shut up is not the right way to go about it.

And if she's going to preach an ideology for everyone else that makes it a moral failing to be unattractive then she should be the first one to die by her own sword. Quit playing defense for fascists.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Suck it up, buttercup.

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

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

Any contributions from the morally superior ones on the audience?

[-] Soup@lemmy.cafe 6 points 1 year ago

Explain to me how what she thinks is relevant?
