On Moynihan, Welfare Queens, and Huckabee Sanders’ Welfare Ad (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is getting reamed for being racist against whites, all because of a campaign ad she put out touting her state’s new work requirements for many Medicaid recipients.In the ad, which Ms. Sanders posted on social media on Monday morning, an unkempt, young white man named Brad mashes the buttons of his video game controller.
