I watched the SHS announcement video so you don't have to (you're welcome)

Sharing my observations and commentary
A thread:
She begins by referencing her support for the "rule of law" ...so surely it was an oversight for her to fail to mention her former bosses lack of adherence to it and her support for impeachment as showing support for said rule of law
She then mentions "violence in the streets & violence at the capitol" failing to mention how both were under her former boss and how the scenes she shared from the streets were where LEO were aggressively policing people pleading for justice for racial inequities
She also fails to mention that "violence at the capitol" was an insurrection by her boss' supporters incited by said boss
She then says she's against "gov control" but also "governor is last line of defense" and "the front line against" federal government...but unity #amirite
Front line of defense...is such an inflammatory phrase...what exactly is the federal gov doing now that AR needs defense?

Now socialism makes its first appearance...at 2:28 in an almost 8 min video...kudos for restraint 
Radical left was in the first minute and multiple mentions - frankly, i lost track because i was reflexively rolling my eyes.

She says she will protect our freedoms guns (duh) & speech & religion
I missed where she mentioned she was against gop proposed bills HB1218 that is a direct violation of 1A free speech as well as HB1231 a direct violation of 1A & 13A - did anyone else catch her opposition?

She says at 2:40 she was a proponent of doing what is right and not what is politically correct
Surely this is a nod in support of the upcoming impeachment trial of her former boss because it is indeed right even if it can be seen as politically difficult by some, surely...

At 2:44 she mistakenly describes her previous job as "taking on" the press...because he actual job description was to provide information to the press.
She also says she "won" but I admit I must have missed where she described a competition

At 2:55 she is seen with her father, which, I didn't know they had moved her elderly parents into their home as is surely the case, because neither has a mask & given our Covid situation in AR she surely wouldn't be modeling behavior contrary to CDC guidelines for prevention.
At 3min she claims she confronted China..but press sec doesn't confront anyone...so surely she was confused
At 3:20 she promises tax cuts, but surely, she has seen the fiscal situation after the last tax cut. Combined with covid, state revenues are not meeting projections & given the balanced budget requirements in AR means either tax cuts need repealed, or tax rates needs increase
On that note - the tax policy enacted by the administration she was a part of & one she defended, now requires an increase in tax rate for households making <75k (majority of AR). So two tax increases to most AR families - got it!
At 420 she has the gall to form her mouth to utter the words "Daisy Bstes & the Little Rock Nine"
And i am sure I speak for many when I say she needs to keep their names out of her mouth for ever.

At 4:30 she talks about the clear waters of the Buffalo River...but I missed where she used her national platform to speak up in defense of the Buffalo against the industrial pork farm that had settled in its banks. (Thank you activists that successfully defended it)
She touts the establishment of the AR 30 day fund to help small businesses during covid
I would be interested in someone's analysis of the financial disclosures of that entity given the example her previous boss gave her on how to use foundations.

She then leaps into the dog whistles...she supports law enforcement & is against sanctuary cities & vows to violate the law by defunding any city that respects immigrants & follows human rights treaties
Continuing to whistle...she says she opposes environmental regulations and the GND with AOC in the background (5:30)...because of course
Then she finally admits she will cut government jobs (which disproportionately affects POC & working poor)
In her nod to her inability to add & subtract, she also says she will cut income tax (see previous note on state revenues)

At 5:55 she delves into gop basics of improving schools by gutting them through school choice
Then at 6:30 she mentions working poor talking in code about job opportunities
Let me decode...cut medicaid and food aid further...because tax cuts and revenue shortages...then create job programs that none of them will qualify for but will give cronies 6-figure management pos

Then she ends with defending freedom and leading with heart...neither of which are smart goals she can be held accountable for
