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."

Republicans and conservatives eyeing greater restrictions on welfare recipients have repeatedly invoked the image of a gamer, typically young and male, when speaking about Americans they say abuse government benefits. But Sanders' cheese ball-munching "Brad" proved especially offensive to far-right commentators.

The dustup targeting Sanders, a longtime Trump loyalist and former White House press secretary during his first term, illustrates how achieving long-standing conservative policy goals — like work requirements for government aid recipients — is often not enough for identity-obsessed MAGA allies, who want to display dominance over their perceived political enemies far more than they want to fix the nuts and bolts of governance.

Conservative podcast host Matt Walsh claimed the number of single white men on welfare was "minuscule" and "practically non-existent."

"Meanwhile, back in reality, women are significantly more likely to be on welfare than men," Walsh fumed in a reply to Sanders posted to twitter. "And black people are astronomically more likely to be on welfare than white people."

And Walsh made clear he thought Sanders and other Republicans should lean into the issue's racial dimension. "Republicans don't have the balls to do this ad with 'Shaniqua' as the villain," he wrote. "Even though that would actually be an accurate portrayal of the problem at hand."

Walsh's assumptions about Medicaid recipients might be a bit off. Nationally, 36% of Medicaid recipients were white, 24% were Hispanic and 19% were Black in 2023, according to the most recent analysis from KFF. The overwhelming majority of gamers are white.

Right-wing pastor Joel Webbon offered an even blunter take. "Why pick a white man?" he said. "You should make your message more believable by picking someone Black."

Jack Posobiec, a Turning Point USA contributor and longtime far-right activist, took to Sanders' twitter replies to ask AI assistant Grok about the demographics of welfare recipients in Arkansas. "Yikes," he wrote in a follow-up post. "Who produced this ad? Good policy — but why is it always a white male?"

Other far-right commentators claimed "Brad" was an emblem of Republican disdain for white men.

"A lot of the GOP is so scared of being called mean names by the media that they can only ever turn their guns on the one group that overwhelmingly supports them," said Blaze TV's Logan Hall. "It's just pure cowardice and stupidity all the way down."

Walsh concurred, arguing that while white men formed the largest GOP voting bloc, the party "shits on" them "at every opportunity."

"These idiotic cowards don't even have the guts to criticize groups that will never vote for them anyway," he said. "They just never learn."

A spokesperson for Sanders' office did not immediately return a request for comment, but the governor acknowledged the gripes. "Some critics online don't like my welfare work requirement ad. Next thing you know they'll say I should have used cookies instead of cheese balls," Sanders wrote on twitter.

Don't care still voting Red. There is no division in the party this is fake news liggeral propaganda designed to make Republicans lose faith in our candidates. Matt Walsh is a particularly suspect individual ever since he turned on President Trump and betrayed us

Weird how how ESL-shill flees to his RussianPost threads that he spams to slide off everything else.

>liggeral

that is more annoying than anything else. It certainly isn't informative.
There's a popular poker vlogger who insists on calling Jacks "jiggities". He thinks it's cute. It isn't. It's infantile and so it "liggeral"
>>
>>1539917
It's boils down to the fascist right wing trying to force the word 'nigger' into everything and everything because they lack creativity.
Notice how this article is about them complaining they're the actual victims and they should be attacking black people
>>
>>1539876

Kind of obvious that White men are the only acceptable target.
>>
>>1539919
Because they're the biggest welfare leeches. Spend their whole day playing computer games and jerking off to pornography. There needs to be a mandatory draft for all loser men. Toughen them up in the Middle East.
>>
Im fine with drafting unemployed loser incel and welfare leecges but we really ought to draft anyone that majors in the ((((humanities)))) and ((((social sciences)))) as well. These people provide 0 good to society except constant bitching. Im voting for president Trump knowing he will escalate in Iran and hopefully these loser kids get drafted and killed. Hopefully the ones that survive will come back a bit less faggy and lazy
>>
>>1539921
You talk about incels and then continue to say retarded basement dweller shit.

The fucking US aircraft carrier in Iran has troops wanting to kill themselves and they eat fucking undercooked drywall meat and you want the senile draugr Trump to "escalate in iran"

It's already known that America is running out of interceptor missiles because the US is cucked by Lockheed martin and other armory corporations and continue to give them all the money they want instead of actually having strategy and investing into things that make sense.

But alright mr. Israel

America goes to shit and everything gets more expensive because of that half-dead president and all the billionaires he sucks off. Yet you talk about people needing to get drafted and killed while you're just some fat incestoid that watched to many military strategy videos and now think you're a navy seal

Only ones that benefit from this war is Israel
>>
Libertarianism only helps the very rich. It is also fairly difficult to get welfare there is no way white gamers have it.

Jfc every time you see somebody on government some immigrant or black mom with a bunch of kids. Get out.

Outside of the city it's a bunch of white ladies with kids who would vote Republican lol.
>>
>>1539876
Incels that infected /pol/ 'memed' Trump into office. Now in a second term, he's doing whatever he wants for himself and his billionaire buddies with no concern for the - now - useful idiots that put him in the political position where he can cut spending: now where it hurts the very manchildren that put him in the position of denying them of the right to be what they are: leeches, as they'll be forced to be the very thing they hate most: 'wagies'.
It's called Hubris. You voted for this, rightard incels.

Yeah, he thanked his good friend elon for that, he's good with computer. Also the bomb threats from vlad helped.
>>
>>1539970
Hope it happens again then.
>>
>>1539974
Speaking of computers, someone ought to check Joe Bribens computer. We already found CP on Hunter's laptop. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree and everyone already knows Joe Briben gang fucks kids
>>
ESL Shill is admitting to hosting CP now
I hope they're just referring to all of hunters Cock Pictures, instead of their CSAM obsession
>>
>ESL shill actually trying to deflect from the fact that white males are the biggest leeches but they've been groomed by conservatives to think they're the victims and to blame minorities for their own failings only to seethe when conservatives rug pull them.
Not going to make fetch happen.
>>
>>1539987
ESL is Biden, Hunter Biden.
That's how he admitted to having CP on his laptop by saying "We already found CP on Hunter's laptop"
>>
>>1540016
The reply doesn't make sense unless ESL shill is Hunter biden
How else does CP being on Hunter's Laptop count as ESL shill admitting they are hosting CP now? It's a baseless non-sequitur unless the person you are calling ESL shill is Hunter Biden
>>
Your mind games won't distract from the fact that Joe and Hunter Briben gang fucked children. For now your safe because the Bribens pardoned themselves but once the autopen investigation is concluded you pedos are fucked.

I suspect the leftists here will not even attempt to refute this (because they can't). Instead, they will shitpost and troll (which is their way of conceding)
>>1539885

People still use this forced meme?
I mean given rightoids can't think of anything original when the russians aren't spoonfeeding them, it makes sense.
>>
>>1540089
Leftist was the first attempt to decouple (You) from the forced meme that Democrats and other assorted Limbaugh-liberals are actually liberals. Many leftists are emboldened by thinking they are liberal when in fact they are more authoritarian than most neo nazis.
>Can't think of anything original
Hello, liggeral scum.
>>
>>1540153
I'll actually accept your concession,

>>1540152
So you admit to everything I said, as expected.

So 1540179 admits its depraved perverted obsessions, as expected.

I guess every republican accusation is a closeted faggot's confession.

>1540183 isn't beating the obsessed depraved pervert allegations
Hello, connie closet case!
>>
>>1540192
No con(nie)servative closet case, you're supposed to call me a liggeral.
>>
>the screeching of 1540183
As Trump supports Saudi Arabia, and Saudi Arabia is supported by UK's PM Burnham who is pro-LGBTQ+, thus Trump and 1540183 are already liggerals.
>>
There’s maybe one authentic post in this entire fucking thread
>>
>>1539920
>Whites are the biggest welfare leeches
White men are on average the most productive individuals in any society they choose to inhabit. The anti-white cope has never been more sad.
>>
>>1540236
Conservatives clearly disagree with this given Brad exists.
>>
>>1540236
Exactly what have white men ever produced in their lives? Not one product, not one invention, not a single raw material that was not stolen from someone else. They are all freeloaders and the time has come to cut them off and force them to either join the military or start picking fruit like I did when I was a kid.
>>
Giving a poor family food money = bad
Giving a billionaire a tax break = good
>>
>>1540330
Taxing a billionaire drive inflation to reduce their debt = priceless
>>
>>1540236
>>1540297
You're both fucking disgusting. It's retarded to give the whole race props for the inventions of a small group of people. It's retarded to condemn a whole group of people for the actions of other people.
Lefty, you are a fucking moron, and if anything loses you the next election, it's going to be your fucking divisive dipshit identity politics you stupid fucking racist.
Righty, you are a fucking moron, your racist claims about the work ethic of white males are false, you'd be an embarassment to the white race if you weren't a brown shill.
Ironically you racist dipshits are made for each other, fuck both of you.

>>1540330
Did Jesus advocate for private charity, or state redistribution?
Did he say render under caesar so he can give to the poor, or did he say give to the poor yourself?
>>
>>1540330
Ask anyone who works in a grocery store about EBT fraud and then come back.
>>
>>1540357
Jesus clearly stated, "Give me all your fucking money, or I put you in jail!'
He was also a huge fan of jewish money changers.
>>
>>1540387
Book, Chapter & verse?

>>1540348
>It's retarded to give the whole race props for the inventions of a small group of people
Doesn't change the fact that white people have invented literally every single scientific field.
