Speaking for Myself: Faith, Freedom, and the Fight of Our Lives Inside the Trump White House

by Sarah Huckabee Sanders

As a way to welcome my dad to the capitol as the new lieutenant governor, the Clinton Democratic machine zeroed out his office budget and literally nailed his door shut. For fifty-nine days my dad wasn’t allowed to physically occupy his office in the capitol simply because he was a Republican. John Fund, a reporter for The Wall Street Journal at the time, didn’t believe this could actually happen in America and flew to Little Rock to see for himself. He was astonished to report that it was in fact true.

Wow. It is starting to make sense why the leftist media and democrats keep asking trump if he will peacefully leave the White House if he loses the election.

Dear Mr. President: It would be my honor to mow the White House lawn some weekend for you. Even though I’m only ten, I would like to show the nation what young people like me are ready for. I admire your business background and have started my own business. I have been mowing my neighbors’ lawn for some time. Please see the attached flier. Here’s a list of what I have and you are free to pick whatever you want: power mower, push mower, and weed whacker. I can bring extra fuel for the power mower and charged batteries for the weed whacker. I will do this at no charge. Sincerely, Frank I read his letter from the podium and invited Frank to come and do just that. We coordinated with the National Park Service, which maintains the White House grounds, and Frank and his dad came to the White House and Frank mowed the lawn in the Rose Garden. As he was mowing, the president walked out of the Oval Office and high-fived Frank and thanked him for his letter and hard work. The pictures and video of Frank and the president went viral and it was really fun to watch it come together. Afterward, Frank told a reporter that “so

far it’s pretty much the best day of my life.” It was moments like this that made my job so fulfilling, reminding us all how special it was to do what we do and who we got to do it for.

This has to be one of the cutest, sweetest, inspiring stories.

In one of my first briefings in my new role, I noted that I was the first mom to ever hold the job of White House press secretary,

But how is that possible when President Trump is so sexist? (Said with heavy sarcasm.)

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said I was “vile,” “not even human,” and should be choked. In

What on earth?! The hypocrisy never ends...

As we departed on the president’s first big trip to Asia later that fall, the Los Angeles Times ran a column by their Pulitzer Prize–columnist David Horsey referring to me as a “chunky soccer mom,” the first time a mainstream media outlet explicitly insulted my appearance. En route to Japan, nobody on Air Force One said anything about it. My husband hadn’t said a word. I suspect nobody wanted to bring more attention to it and offend me. We arrived in Tokyo for the state dinner hosted by Japanese prime minister Abe. Earlier in the day, we had bilateral meetings between the United States and Japanese delegations and I was part of the US delegation. As we walked into the meeting the president pulled me aside, looked me straight in the eye, and said, “Sarah—you’re tough, you’re beautiful, and you’re good at your job. That’s why they attack you. Never

let those f——ers get you down!” He then slapped me on the shoulder and said, “Okay? Now, let’s get back to work.”

Again....the hypocrisy never ends. THAT is the President America needs and deserves.

Again and again, as a woman and a working mom, President Trump not only empowered me—he defended me and reaffirmed me when the feminists and liberals were tearing me down with cruel and dehumanizing personal attacks.

Amazing that the so-called feminists have no problem denigrating the type of person they are supposed to be uplifting but the so-called sexist, misogynistic President is doing the uplifting.

Mika Brzezinski, the author of several books on empowering women and combating sexism, said on her MSNBC show Morning Joe that I was unfit to be a mother. On Fox News’s Laura Ingraham’s show I responded: “I think it’s sad that they’re attacking a lot of us while claiming to champion women’s causes and women’s issues,” and later added, “the president’s historic tax cuts plus doubling of the child tax credit will do infinitely more to empower working moms than liberals’ personal attacks on women they disagree with ever will.”

Again...wtf?! More liberal hypocrisy.

So many times the idea of women’s empowerment is that somehow we should be treated differently, but I just wanted to be treated the same way as my male colleagues. I wanted to earn my place, not have it handed to me because I’m a woman.

Exactly! Unfortunately the so-called feminist movement is denigrating and tells people that I need to be treated differently because I’m a woman. No! I should be held to the same standards and should be treated the same.
