While introducing Donald Trump at his Flint, Michigan, town hall Tuesday, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) appeared to take a swipe at Vice President Kamala Harris for not having her own biological children.
The jab came in the form of a brief anecdote that Sanders , who served as press secretary in Trump’s administration, shared about tearing up while helping her daughter get ready for a dance.
″‘It’s okay, mommy, one day you can be pretty too,’” Sanders said her daughter told her. “So my kids keep me humble. Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn’t have anything keeping her humble.”
She continued: “You would think after four years of straight failure, she would know a little humility. Unfortunately, she doesn’t.”
Sanders has faced criticism for at least one major policy move affecting children: Last year, she signed a bill rolling back numerous child labor protections across Arkansas, including wiping out a requirement that employers obtain work certificates for children under the age of 16. Her office called it an “arbitrary burden on parents.” The month before she signed the bill into law, a food sanitation business was fined $1.5 million for employing minors in dangerous meatpacking jobs , including in Arkansas.
