(Radio Iowa) – Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders says the world is a dangerous place and she’s urging Iowa’s evangelical community to be allies in President Trump’s movement.  “Taking the fight the forces of darkness, frankly, that threaten us all,” Huckabee Sanders said. “America is the greatest country has ever known because we’re the freeist country that the world has ever known, but we have to do our part to protect that freedom.”

Huckabee Sanders, who served as White House press secretary during Trump’s first term, was the closing speaker Friday at The Family Leader’s summit.  “With God as our guide and President Trump back in the White House, we will show the world that America is the place where freedom reigns and liberty will never die,” Huckabee Sanders said. Huckabee Sanders, the nation’s youngest governor, called Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds a mentor and reminisced about her father’s successful 2008 Iowa Caucus campaign.

“What you may not know is that I actually met my husband here in Des Moines back in 2008 when I was working for my dad,” Huckabee Sanders said. “We like to joke in our family that he didn’t win the campaign, but he got a son-in-law and three grandkids out the deal, so a pretty decent trade.”

Her father, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, is currently the U-S Ambassador to Israel and she said he’d spent the better part of the last month in a bunker amid warnings about incoming missiles from Iran.
