Arkansas governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has created a new scandal for herself by not revealing who paid for her recent trip to the Super Bowl. Attending the event - one of the most expensive expensive events on the planet - is not an easy task, especially for someone with a governor's salary, but Sanders is remaining mum on who paid for her, her husband, and her three children to attend. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has found herself embroiled in yet another scandal. Now, keep in mind, Sarah Huckabee Sanders has been in office for roughly 14 months, and already in those 14 months, she has had multiple different scandals all related to her spending and her travel, which her travel, of course, is now barred from being requested via a Freedom of Information Act request, thanks to a law that Huckabee Sanders herself signed. And that's where the new problem comes in. You see, couple weeks ago, Sarah Huckabee Sanders decided to take her entire family herself, her husband, and three children to the Super Bowl. Now, there's nothing inherently wrong with that, right? If you've got the money, go to the Super Bowl, if that's what you want. Now, it is one of the most expensive sporting events. Hell, one of the most expensive events in general on the planet.
So it is a little weird that somebody whose salary is $160,000 is able to pay tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to take her family to this event where not only were they in attendance, they were also in a luxury suite, they got on field presence for usher's halftime performance, and had a bit of a meet and greet with players. Those experiences, according to estimates, can run you no less than $200,000 for a party of five, which is what Huckabee Sanders had. So the question is, of course, who paid for the trip? And Huckabee Sanders isn't saying a word about how she could afford such a luxurious vacation for her family, not a peep. Voters want to know. People across the country want to know, how'd you pay for this? Just tell us if you paid for it outta your pocket, great, no problem.
Let's move on. But she won't answer, which likely means she didn't pay for it herself. And unfortunately, because of that law, she signed voters in the state. Don't get to find out who paid for this trip, but there is a bit of a tell. You see, Huckabee Sanders was actually photographed inside that luxury suite alongside, uh, what is her name here, uh, Talia, uh, Tia Hunt, a prominent GOP donor, who is also the wife of Kansas City Chief's co-owner Clark Hunt. So if Sarah Huckabee Sanders had this trip paid for by a Republican donor and does not disclose it, that would be unlawful. First of all, for Federal Elections Commission and of course state disclosure laws, you have to, uh, do that. And it could also be considered an illegal lobbying attempt. I there, there's potential criminal activity that happened. If Huckabee
Sanders does not reveal who paid for this trip. This is not just, oh, she went to the Super Bowl and we don't know who paid. This is potentially criminal. This is, in my estimation, a Mason. Based on the evidence, this is likely criminal. So here again, we have a woman who initially tried to shield all her travel record records when she first came into office. That's why she signed that law. So that was a scandal. The $19,000 lectern that she bought, that was a scandal. The Super Bowl, that's another scandal.
