Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, September 28, 2026

Media commentators in the MAGA movement shredded Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Monday over a new TV ad depicting white male gamers as the target of a state welfare fraud crackdown " and claimed the Republican hadn't injected enough race into her messaging.

Drawing the ire of the right: Sanders' promotion of new work requirements for Natural State welfare recipients, featuring a tousle-headed gamer named "Brad," shown in the advert mashing a video game controller and scarfing potato chips.

"Brad has turned relaxing into a full-time profession," Sanders tells voters in the ad. "But you, you actually work hard. You pay taxes to cover welfare for guys like Brad who just choose not to work."

So, if she had used a Black person in the ad, the MAGA commentators would have been happy and supportive?
