2023 State of the Union address: on Civil Rights


Donald Trump: Biden administration is waging war on free speech

Joe Biden's weaponized Justice Department--and I'm a victim of it--is persecuting his political opponents. His administration is waging war on free speech. They're trying to indoctrinate and mutilate our children .

Sarah Huckabee Sanders: Proud of AR's role in desegregating schools 40 years ago

Down the street from where I sit is my alma mater, Little Rock Central High. As a student there, I will never forget watching my dad, Governor Mike Huckabee, and President Bill Clinton hold the doors open to the Little Rock Nine, doors that forty years earlier had been closed to them because they were black. Today, those children once barred from the schoolhouse are now heroes memorialized in bronze at our statehouse. I'm proud of the progress our country has made.
