'The choice is between normal or crazy': Arkansas governor delivers Republican speech after Biden's State of the Union
February 07, 2023
Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who delivered the Republican address to the nation on the heels of President Joe Biden's State of the Union address on Tuesday, asserted that the president and his party have "failed" Americans and that the divisions in the nation today are "between normal or crazy."
"I'm for freedom, he's for government control," she said after noting that she and the president do not share much in common. "I'm the first woman to lead my state, and he's the first man to surrender his presidency to a woke mob that can't even tell you what a woman is."
"The dividing line in America is no longer between right or left. The choice is between normal or crazy," she declared, adding later that "the Biden administration is doubling down on crazy."
"President Biden is unwilling to defend our border, defend our skies, and defend our people. He is simply unfit to serve as commander in chief," the governor declared. She added, "while you reap the consequences of their failures, the Biden administration seems more interested in woke fantasies than the hard reality Americans face every day."

Sanders, who was sworn in as governor last month, delivered her address after Biden's speech in which he described the state of the union as "strong."
Biden faced disapproving shouts from lawmakers at points during his speech, including when he claimed that some Republicans would like Medicare as well as Social Security to "sunset."
GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, who appeared to yell "liar," in response to the president's claim, also tweeted the message, "He is a liar."
