What do Massachusetts and Arkansas have in frequent?
Not a lot.
Arkansas does have Bill Clinton and Walmart, although, whereas Massachusetts has John F. Kennedy and Raytheon.
But they’re alike in that each have ladies governors, Maura Healey, 52, in Massachusetts and Sarah Huckabee Sanders, 40, in Arkansas.
While each are the primary ladies elected to the workplace, they’re totally different in some ways. Healey is a progressive Democrat whereas Huckabee Sanders is a conservative Republican.
Huckabee Sanders is married to a person and has three youngsters. Healey is single, overtly homosexual and has no youngsters.
As press secretary to President Donald Trump, Huckabee Sanders handled the press on daily basis. Healey as lawyer basic prevented the press on daily basis.
Healey, a Donald Trump critic, filed some 100 fits towards President Trump when she was lawyer basic, most of which got here whereas Huckabee Sanders labored for Trump.
Huckabee Sanders, a President Joe Biden critic, launched a bitter assault on the president when she delivered the Republican response to his bumbling State of the Union Speech final Tuesday. Maura Healey thought the speech was swell.
Huckabee Sanders gave a greater, extra significant and extra sensible speech than Biden.
On her first day in workplace the woke Healey by government order created the workplace of Climate Innovation and Resilience and appointed a local weather chief. On her first day, the un-woke Huckabee Sanders banned CRT “racism” from being taught in faculties and eradicated the derogatory time period Latinx from getting used on state paperwork.
While Healey was a visitor of U.S. Rep. Richard Neal at Biden’s deal with earlier than Congress, Huckabee Sanders was chosen to provide the official GOP response.
And, boy, did she ship, accusing Biden of dwelling in a fantasy world with discuss how properly the nation is doing below his stewardship. “The Biden administration seems more interested in woke fantasies than the hard realities that American face every day,” she stated.
Huckabee Sanders, the daughter of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, took Biden to activity when she stated, “at 40 I’m the youngest governor in the country and at 80 he’s the oldest president in American history. I’m the first woman to lead my state and he’s the first man to surrender his presidency to a woke mob that can’t even tell you what a woman is.”
She stated the dividing line in America in the present day was not between the precise and the left. “The choice is between normal and crazy.”
“Washington taxes you and lights your hard earned money on fire but you get crushed with high gas prices, empty grocery shelves and our children are taught to hate on another on account of their race, but not love one another or our great country.”
The Biden administration, she stated, “is doubling down on crazy.”
Biden, she stated, “inherited the fastest growing economy on record, the most secure border in history, cheap, abundant homegrown energy, fast rising wages, a rebuilt military an a world that was stable and at peace. Over the last two years Democrats destroy it all.”
She accused Biden of failing to face as much as China, “our most formidable adversary.”
“President Biden is unwilling to defend our border, defend our skies and defend our people. He is simply unfit to serve as commander in chief.”
“Most American simply want to live their lives in freedom and peace. But we are under attack in a left wing culture war we didn’t start and never wanted to fight. Every day we are told we must partake in their rituals, salute their flags and worship their false idols all the while big government colludes with big tech to strip away the most American thing…your freedom of speech.”
“That’s not normal. It’s crazy and it’s wrong.”
“Republicans will not surrender this fight. We will lead with courage and do what is right, not what’s politically correct,” she stated.
It won’t be straightforward. The progressive run the federal government, the media, the courts and the universities.
And lurking within the coronary heart of each progressive is a fascist ready to climb out.
