Not qualified for job

-

I am dismayed to see that Sarah Huckabee Sanders is in the lead for governor of our great state. The reason I am so dismayed is that she has continuall­y lied about pretty much everything since she was Donald Trump’s press secretary.

She lied about the FBI investigat­ion, she lied about doctored videos on at least two occasions when she referred to one of the videos as the truth and later admitted it was BS. She lied when she stood up to the press about the president lying, accusing the press of fake news. She lied about the Stormy Daniels case, Mexican immigratio­n and the family separation policy, Rob Porter, British Prime Minister Theresa May and so many other situations.

One time she finally admitted she “exaggerate­d.” She was quoted as saying that God wanted Trump to be president. Check her out on Wikipedia for more details about how deceptive she was as press secretary.

Her campaign is a national one, not rooted in Arkansas, but coordinate­d by national interests who would like her to take over our great state. She has never held any political office or had experience working for any local or state government­s. So, what qualifies her to be governor? Is it because her dad was governor? If that’s the case, then all children of politician­s should installed as our leaders.

I have no desire to see my great state suffer the embarrassm­ent she would bring us if she did win. She already acts like she won, and we haven’t even had our primaries yet. In her latest ad, she is lying again by saying that she will lower the state income-tax rate if she becomes governor. Well, guess what? That legislatio­n was already passed by our state Legislatur­e.

I do not want a proxy governor running our state from his mansion in Florida, and I don’t think the good people of Arkansas do either.
