The left fat-shames and Southern-shames Sarah Huckabee Sanders

I'm thankful this site stayed away from cartoons mocking Michelle Obama's appearance, but stuck with her racially divisive speeches and statements, especially to college speeches. TD

Monica Showalter  "Most people, when they run out of arguments, just shut up.
Much of the left, however, moves on to attacking the person.  For being the person.  Getting personal.  Bullying.
"So now we have a couple of left-wing male columnists from big self-important newspapers – the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times – attacking Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a White House employee, for things she can't do anything about.
"The New York Times' Frank Bruni shames Sanders for her Southern accent:
Besides, she's serving a function other than communication, which turns out not to be her forte. (To listen to her pronounce "priorities" is akin to hearing the air seep out of a flat tire, and she leaves half of the consonants on the curb.)
"The Los Angeles Times' David Horsey shames Sanders for her weight and her class, and throws in a shot at the other Trump women, too.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders does not look like the kind of woman Donald Trump would choose as his chief spokesperson. Much like Roger Ailes when he was stocking the Fox News lineup with blond Barbie dolls in short, tight skirts, the president has generally exhibited a preference for sleek beauties with long legs and stiletto heels to represent his interests and act as his arm candy.
. . .  
"Doesn't matter, because this isn't really about extracting an apology.  It's about what it reveals.  Horsey and Bruni can apologize or not apologize, but we all know what they are thinking about all of us.
"Want more Trump?  That's how you get more Trump."

In one of those "as I wrote in my book" moments, The Tunnel Wall addressed this Nov 3rd:
LA Times ‘Fat Shames’ Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Makes Her Look Like A Nazi And Puts Down Moms
. . . "I'm sure cartoonist Horsey, a gifted artist and occasional honest critic of Obama policies, must enjoy the social scene among the LA elite and his cartoons could certainly place him high on the Hollywood social register. I do not know the man and have not chosen to read his thoughts other than those in this post, but figure he likely would enjoy the thought of his work hanging on walls in leftist gathering places.
"This cartoon [praising Obama] surely ingratiated him to the Obamas and their sychophants. The Tunnel Dweller."
