Sarah Huckabee Sanders rose to national prominence in part during her time at the lectern as White House press secretary, but the purchase of a $19,000 lectern for the Arkansas governor is undergoing scrutiny and prompting claims that records about it have been altered.
A legislative panel next week will take up a lawmaker’s request for an audit to review the purchase of the lectern, which was bought in June for $19,029.25 with a state credit card. The Arkansas Republican Party reimbursed the state last month for the wood-paneled and blue lectern, which the state received in August.
“From my experience, where we’re at with this particular thing is we need to allow legislative audit go in,” Republican Sen. Jimmy Hickey, who requested the audit, said. “Everyone knows them, they do their work, they’re very thorough and then they produce a detailed report that comes to the Legislature through an open committee.”
Why on earth would that cost 20 grand? That thing is ugly as fuck
You sound like someone that doesn’t know shit about fancy lecterns.
Of course it costs 20 grand, look at all that embellishment!
Sorry, I meant embezzlement.
It’s called money laundering.
They bought it on Temu. She wanted to shop like a billionaire.
As a amateur furniture maker, I could totally figure out how to make this thing cost $20k. It’d look so much cooler than this shit though…
