Sarah Huckabee Sanders rose to international fame for her tenure as White House press secretary under former President Donald Trump. It was a tenure marked by frequent lies that often bordered on a complete denial of reality.

Sanders left the position in 2019 and returned to her home state of Arkansas, with Trump encouraging her to run for governor of the state.


Sanders heeded that call, announcing on Monday that she was running for governor of Arkansas.

In a nearly eight minute announcement video, Sanders lamented "cancel culture" and parroted other common Republican talking points:

"I took on the media, the radical left and their cancel culture, and I won. As governor, I will be your voice and never let them silence you."

She also said:

"As governor, I will defend your right to be free of socialism and tyranny. Your Second Amendment right to keep your family safe and your freedom of speech and religious liberty. Our state needs a leader with the courage to do what's right, not what's politically correct or convenient."

CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta reacted strongly to the news, especially Sanders' invocation of so-called cancel culture.

Acosta famously butted heads with Trump in a testy 2018 press conference that resulted in Sanders revoking his press credentials and later sharing doctored footage of the exchange to make Acosta appear violent.

But her attempt to cancel Acosta failed when a federal judge ruled the White House's attempt to ban him from covering the President was a violation of press freedom.

Once again, people sided with Acosta in his reaction to Sarah Sanders' campaign announcement.




Acosta wasn't the only one decrying her bid.





The Arkansas gubernatorial election is on November 8, 2022.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
