Sarah Huckabee Sanders accused of hypocrisy over request for federal aid

She has the right to ask for assistance for her citizens...they pay federal taxes too

..."Social media users have also pointed to a tweet Sanders sent in January after entering office stating that as governor of Arkansas, the "meddling hand of big government creeping down from Washington D.C. will be stopped cold at the Mississippi River."

While sharing a screengrab of Sanders' January post, Mark Jacob, author and former editor of The Chicago Tribune, tweeted: "The federal government will help Arkansas recover from today's devastating tornadoes, as well it should. But I couldn't help recalling Sarah Huckabee Sanders' divisive tweet from January in which she refused to see Americans as one people."

Comedian and actor Gabe Sachez wrote: "So, does this mean that Sarah Huckabee Sanders will be accepting help from 'the meddling hand of big government'?"

Lindy Li, a political commentator, and Democratic National Committee member tweeted: "Sarah Huckabee Sanders blasted socialism. Now she's begging for aid."...
