absolutely wild story. apparently AR Gov. Sarah Sanders paid $20k for a podium made by a crony and went to extreme lengths to cover it up, including trying to bully the legislature into a sweeping overhaul of state FOIA law talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/lets-...

Other than the boondoggle of privatization of public schools and the hilarious incompetence of #podiumgate, Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ key achievement as governor is the explosion of child labor violations after repealing almost all state protections/oversight for minors. www.axios.com/local/nw-ark...
Report: Arkansas child labor violations trending up
A 2023 law may be partially to blame for a decrease in the number of employers investigated for violations in child labor.

How’s that podiumgate thing going?

To paraphrase the loathsome Roger Stone, it appears to be Sarah Huckabee Sanders time in the barrel:

Couldn't happen to a nicer nepo-fascist.

Quietly dropping a pin. What stands out to me is that Sanders has gone nuclear to keep certain expenses and names of who she met with out of the press. When names are reported, one repeats.

I combine that with her unhinged level of homophobia.

While "podium" and "lectern" are often used interchangeably, there's a subtle difference. A podium is a raised platform where a speaker stands to be seen. A lectern is a stand, often with a slanted top, for holding notes or a manuscript while speaking

Amazing how Republicans are investigated, but never arrested.

What happened to Podiumgate?
If high on the hog Huckabee Sanders manages to build the $825 million prison after blindsiding and betraying state Republicans with her overreach, secret deal and obsession with running for president, Arkansans should consider housing her there instead of in the governor's mansion.

Please accept my apologies. 🙏🏻
I stand corrected and will never make the same mistake ever again.😳

Does that mean Sarah Huckleberry, Jr's scandal wasn't Podiumgate, but Lecturngate?🧐

Asking for a friend...😂

If you haven't heard of Podiumgate it's probably because it's a lectern. #lecterngate

Podiumgate is still going and now she’s basically trying to sell it as a manufactured controversy, which it’s absolutely not. apnews.com/article/huck...
