In a recent interview on Fox News, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the former press secretary for President Donald Trump and current Governor of Arkansas, had an important message for the newcomers flocking to red states like Arkansas, Texas, and Florida from blue states like California and New York. While she welcomed them with open arms, she also urged them to leave their liberal politics behind.

Governor Sanders expressed a common concern among conservatives, including those in North Carolina, about the exodus from Democrat-run states to Republican-run ones. They fear that bringing along the far-left political beliefs that contributed to the decline of their former states could have a negative impact on the red states they are moving to. As a conservative, Governor Sanders acknowledged that this influx from blue states could potentially turn red states purple and eventually blue if the conservative principles and values are not upheld.

I don't mind transplants coming here as long as they don't push for the same destructive policies they voted for in their home states. I'm a welcoming kind of person but only to a point. cc: @APDillon_ https://t.co/RkI7GXAWYY

While she didn’t explicitly say it, her message was clear: if you want to move to a red state, leave behind the expensive, crime-ridden, woke dumpster fire that your former state has become. It’s important for red state leaders to consider this advice and ensure that newcomers are educated on the values and principles that make red states successful, rather than being influenced by the failed policies of their previous blue states.
As a conservative news writer, it’s refreshing to see Governor Sanders speak out against the potential threat of liberal politics infiltrating red states. It’s crucial for conservatives to hold firm to their principles and not let the influx of newcomers from blue states dilute the conservative values that have made red states attractive in the first place. Kudos to Governor Sanders for setting the record straight and reminding newcomers that they are welcome as long as they adopt the conservative ethos that red states embody.
