On Fox, SHS perpetually auditions for Trump’s sidekick

May her Fox appearances be filled with empty platitudes and shameless pandering.

Water crisis in Helena-West Helena be damned. Save our disgraceful maternal mortality rate and healthcare crisis for another day. Who else will take up the mantle of sucking up to Trump on national television if Sarah won’t? Momma’s got work to do!

A quick refresher: Sarah Sanders, the same person who made a name for herself by lying like pro, has decided that executing the job governor isn’t the best use of her time.

I mean, can we blame her? Dealing with pesky things like policy, problem solving, being accountable to the people of her state — you know, the responsibilities of governance — those can really cramp one’s style, especially when you have Fox segments to do and Texas to talk about.

The bummer is, Arkansans are left wondering if Sarah can find our state on a map.

Maybe voters didn’t realize when we elected her that SHS is a master of selfish ambition. Constituents matter to her when she needs to get elected. After that? Meh, not so much. And her administration isn’t even embarrassed by this. The comms department takes every chance to share behind-the-scenes shots prepping for Fox segments, with Sarah eagerly awaiting her chance to gush about Trump and migrants at the border of another state. Arkansas is mentioned only when the Fox new pundit introduces her as our governor.

So here’s to you, Sarah Sanders, chief executive of your own blind ambition. May your Fox appearances be filled with plenty of empty platitudes and shameless pandering. Just don’t expect the people of Arkansas to forget about your abandonment any time soon.
