Somehow, Sarah Huckabee-Sanders looks to be failing up to be the next Governor of Arkansas.

On this date one year ago, “Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day” first profiled former White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee-Sanders, the political legacy that sprung from the Fundamentalist-kooky loins of former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and whom is seeking the office of Governor of Arkansas in the 2022 elections. While we had more than one person contact the blog to “nominate” Trump Administration Press Secretaries from about the point Sean Spicer wanted the American people to believe the Trump Inauguration was an attendance-shattering event, normally, we don’t profile appointees, only folks who are in elected office or seeking it. With Huckabee-Sanders trying to follow in her daddy’s Fundie footsteps as the latest GOP nepotism project, we’re obligated to do a deep-dive into her now, in the hopes we can have the equivalent of an intervention with Arkansas voters before they go and guarantee themselves a world of misery during her prospective tenure.

Let’s go back a bit farther, though… Sarah Huckabee-Sanders got her start working on political campaigns, and her only real successes were in Arkansas. Her father’s 2002 gubernatorial campaign? Win. As a field director for the Bush re-election campaign in ’04? Well, that was a win. In 2010, she worked on the re-election campaign for Senator John Boozman, and with the Tea Party Wave making that an easy win in Arkansas. Boozman didn’t even campaign at home at the time, he let Hucakbee-Sanders do it for him and defend the move by saying he was trying to stop the ACA from getting passed in Washington (and he won re-election easily, despite mailing it in).

Now, let’s talk presidential campaign work… in 2008, Huckabee-Sanders helped lead her father to a 34% victory in the GOP’s Iowa Caucus, proving what bulls*** it is yet again (the winner of it since 2008 has not won the party’s nomination). Her dad’s campaign eventually fell to John McCain’s when he dropped out in March 2008, because, well, we’ve profiled Mike Huckabee and how truly bats*** he is. In 2012, her father wasn’t running, so Huckabee-Sanders hitched her caboose onto the Tim Pawlenty campaign, and he bailed after their “all in on Iowa” strategy still only netted a third place finish in that year’s Ames Straw Poll, and he bailed, leaving her on the sidelines faster than in any year prior. In 2016? Was she on the Trump train? No, not at first, she was back working for her paw, and he dropped out after the Iowa Caucuses in February 2016 after getting only 1.8% of the vote.

About three weeks later and looking for a paycheck, the Trump 2016 campaign scooped her up to try and troubleshoot a problem they knew they were going to have going forward… how would a man so utterly immoral as Donald Trump ever win over Evangelical voters? Well, using most of her father’s connections and friendships with Evangelical leaders, they twisted themselves in knots to justify why Trump was somehow not the devil incarnate, and with a little help from Vladimir Putin and social media not stopping lies in their tracks, Trump won the election and helped get Sarah Huckabee Sanders a job in the White House as Deputy Press Secretary.

Let us review a timeline of her most egregious lies and disturbing moments from a near two-year fascist propaganda spree:
