Panic is spreading in MAGA land, as evidenced by recent actions from Sarah Sanders. The former governor of Arkansas used her platform to attack the Olympics Opening Ceremony in Paris, claiming it mocked Christians. Additionally, she utilized a traffic stop incident involving a Guatemalan man as an opportunity to spread xenophobic and politically motivated propaganda. Despite data showing that immigrants do not commit more crimes than U.S. citizens, Sanders pushed false narratives to stoke fear and division.
This move comes as the Republican base needs rallying ahead of the next election, especially after JD Vance’s poor introduction as Trump’s running mate. Sanders is capitalizing on this, using sensationalized stories and attacks on political opponents to maintain their base’s energy. The recent state police press release, which focused more on political grievances than facts, is a clear example of this agenda.
Sanders’ actions are seen as a desperate attempt to keep Trump’s supporters engaged and motivated. By spreading misinformation, fear, and division, she aims to steer the narrative away from the positive energy that the political left has been generating. While there are legitimate questions about certain incidents, politicizing them for personal gain only serves to exacerbate the current political polarization.
