DNC spokesperson Ammar Moussa released the following statement in response to the selection of Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders to deliver the Republican response to the State of the Union:

“Sarah Huckabee Sanders led the public charge for Donald Trump’s MAGA agenda — from defending the appointment of conservative justices who later voted to overturn Roe v. Wade and paved the way for extreme state abortion bans to cheerleading trillions in corporate tax giveaways. The MAGA Republican Party was out of touch with the American people then, and it’s just as out of touch and extreme with the American people now.”
