Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who you will remember as the contentious White House press secretary under Donald Trump from 2017 to 2019 is running for governor in Arkansas and she doesn't care for legalization of cannabis like so many of her neighbors. She wants them to know that she plans to vote against the proposed constitutional amendment that would legalize recreational weed.
The former White House spokeswoman, who lies about fact-checked matters in order to uphold Trump's agenda, compared legal cannabis to the nationwide drug epidemic.
She told reporters this week that she wouldn't be supportive of the drug epidemic because I don't think that with the drug epidemic we have in this state, frankly across the country, that adding and giving more access to that does anything to benefit Arkansas.
Both Democratic gubernatorial nominee Chris Jones and Libertarian candidate Ricky Dale Harrington Jr. have both said they plan to vote for the proposed constitutional amendment to legalize marijuana.
On Sept. 22, the Arkansas Supreme Court overturned a decision by the state Board of Election Commissioners to allow the way for votes to be counted in the Nov. 8 general election on Responsible Growth Arkansas' proposed constitutional amendment that would legalize recreational weed.
Gov. in mid-September. Asa Hutchinson announced he will vote no on the ballot measure. Hutchinson said the science is clear. Recreational marijuana leads to increased use of the drug among minors and more dangerous roads. He didn't blame cannabis for the nation's devastating opioid crisis.
What is a lesson from Trump? Do as little as possible and stay vague and do as little as possible.
Sanders said that the Legislature spends a lot of time in session because of the proposed constitutional amendment that would allow the Legislature to call itself into special session.
She said that a full-time legislature is probably not the best thing for the state of Arkansas right now.
Sanders was asked if that means she plans to vote against the proposed constitutional amendment on November 8.
We'll see. Sanders said something.
