Sarah Huckabee Sanders Issues Scathing Response to Criticism From Gavin Newsom

Arkansas Gov. 👤Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) fired back at California Gov. 👤Gavin Newsom (D) after he criticized her and her state’s record on crime.

After Sanders delivered her rebuttal to the State of the Union address, Newsom tweeted, “While touts public safety, here is what she skips over: Arkansas has the one of the highest murder rates in the nation.”

During an appearance on Fox News Thursday night, host Sean Hannity noted Newsom posted the tweet “ignoring the fact” Sanders had only been in office for 31 days.

“By comparison, when you look at 👤Gavin Newsom’s time in public office, his time as San Francisco mayor, lieutenant governor, now governor, Newsom has spent nearly 7,000 days driving California straight into the ground,” Hannity said.

He added, “Crime and homelessness are now through the roof. The drug problem in California is out of control. Reports of school children being forced to walk through open-air drug dens. California ranked dead last again in the U-haul index.”

The U-Haul Growth Index is “compiled according to the net gain of one-way U-Haul trucks arriving in a state or city, versus departing from that state or city, in a calendar year,” according to U-Haul’s website.
