Sarah Huckabee Sanders vying with Vance for publicity in stand against childless cat ladies, by Hal M. Brown, MSW

This seemed like a non-story even though it stood out when I looked at HuffPost this morning and saw the story above. She bragged that her kids keep her humble and accused Kamala Harris of not having anything that keeps her humble. By this I assume she means Harris is conceited, egotistical, and pretentious.

Huckabee Sanders says her kids keep her humble. Humble? Really? Okay, still not much of a story worth spending a couple of hours of my morning on to write about.

Then I looked at RawStory and noticed they also covered the story:

This is the speech the articles are referring to:

This was still pretty much a a non-story to me until Joe and Mika spent time talking about it and noted how Huckabee Sanders, like Trump himself and other Trumpers, deliberately mispronunce Kamala. There's just something so obnoxious and nastily juvenile about trying to diminish someone by refusing to pronounce their name properly.

Damnit, this woman who fancies herself to be relevant has just shoehorned her way into a news cycle. I expect she's also auditioning to be a member of Trump's Cabinet if we have the horror of his becoming president. 

Also read: Trump loves Laura Loomer and hates Taylor Swift.

It would be better to ignore her, but the issue she brings up and the way she does it needs to be addressed. She is not just trying to promote a regressive view of women, but she is using nonsense as a propaganda tool which leads to people shrugging of the need to engage in critical thinking. Put another way:

This was, of course, her job when she was Trump's press secretary.

I suppose we can be thankful that at least she didn't mention childless cat ladies. Perhaps she didn't want to piss J.D. Vance off by stealing his now infamous line.

While on the subject of household pets....

There have been other elections where household pets played a role. For example, we had Richard Nixon's famous Checkers Speech and we had the Mitt Romney dog incident.

Currently cats have been added to dogs in the political news. We have the grim fairytale of Haitian migrants eating both dogs and cats, and we have the most famous childless cat lady in the world making the news (read article):

If Americans came to their senses, the unfounded demonization of legal Haitian immigrants and the disparaging attacks against married women who don't have children would decide the election in favor of Kamala Harris. If the majority of voters saw the candidates clearly and cared about character and integrity, if Donald Trump was a fish he'd be feeding off the bottom of the ocean looking for votes.
