    Anyone want to ask the obvious question of who buys a podium from a company that doesn't sell podiums and happens to be a personal friend? Way to sweep corruption under the rug. Sad

    What a bunch of BS. Another crooked politician. Welcome to the club.

    More proof of why George Santos is STILL the perfect poster-child for today's Republican party

    I heard about this like a year and a half ago....glad to see the traction it has finally taken. Miss Huckabee should be ashamed of herself....along with her equally vile friends.

    The conservative party. A 19k lecturn then soon later a vacation with the same person who sold it. Captain obvious

    Way to handle the tax dollars of hard working Arkansa voters, $19,000 for a podium :O The average income of Arkansas constituents is $32,000. Gov Huckabee does not care about the needs of the people of Arkansas. Wow.
  • @DG-wu7ke
    In simple words - the governor got caught cooking the books to pay for a lavish vacation for the governor and her two friends.

    Oh Nobody Responded?? Well Go Ahead and File Charges of Fraud. Make Them Lawyer Up & Give Depositions. Maybe these Lying Republicans Will tell the truth, but Doubtful.

    Why look? This is run by the same party? They will say a purchase 😂 of a 19k podium is fine... they will say that modifying an invoice after the fact is fine... buying it from a non-podium company is fine... getting a public podium purchase REPAID by a non-government person who is friendly to the governor is... fine... save the money and just accept the corruption you voted in...

    They keep saying "potentially violated" or "potential non-compliance." Which is it? You have rules. Those rules were not followed.
