Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders reignited the controversy over how allies of Donald Trump talk about stepmothers and childless women when she told supporters of the former president Tuesday night that Kamala Harris doesn’t have anything to keep her humble. While introducing Trump at a Flint, Michigan, town hall, Sanders said her three children serve as a “permanent reminder of everything that is at stake in this country” ahead of the election. “My kids keep me humble. Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn’t have anything keeping her humble,” said Sanders, the first female governor of Arkansas and Trump’s former White House press secretary. “You would think after four years of straight failure, she would know a little humility. Unfortunately, she doesn’t.” The comments come as the Trump campaign attempts to narrow the gap with Harris among female voters. Sanders is one of several former Trump staffers who have attempted to vouch for the former president among women, despite his long history of sexual misconduct allegations and the fact that he was found liable of sexual abuse and defamation last year. During her time in the White House, Sanders, who at times faced sexist comments about her appearance, defended Trump after he was criticized for attacks on female politicians. Her remarks Tuesday, in which she argued that children serve as reminders of what matters in an election and alluded to the vice president’s lack of biological kids, are reminiscent of comments made by Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, a longtime critic of those, particularly elected officials, without children. The Ohio senator has railed against a “childless elite” in Washington, who he has argued doesn’t have a “direct stake” in the future of the country, and has said that the US was being run by “childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made.” Vance has also said the Democratic Party has become “anti-family and anti-child.”
