One X user wrote: "Ozempic is doing what Ozempic does. Too bad they don’t have Ozempic for faces and personalities."
Another added: "Sarah Huckabee Sanders needs to lay off the Ozempic. She looks like s**t."
A third commented: "We even got Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Ozempic now."
Sanders was accused of using Ozempic to lose a significant amount of weight.
Dr. Jennie Stanford, an Obesity Medicine Physician and medical contributor for Drugwatch, spoke to RadarOnline.com about the rumors circulating online regarding Sanders' new look.
She noted: "Without knowing Governor Sanders’ personal medical history, as I do not have an established doctor-patient relationship with her, I can’t comment on whether or not she has lost weight and if so, what tools she utilized to do so. While semaglutide is commonly used for significant weight loss, it is an effective medication to treat many conditions."
Stanford added: "Evidence also supports the use of bariatric surgery to treat obesity and improve other chronic medical conditions as well."
While Sanders has not yet commented on the rampant Ozempic rumors, she has experienced serious health issues since leaving the White House in 2019.
In 2022, Sanders revealed she'd been diagnosed with thyroid cancer. In a statement released by her campaign, the governor announced: "Today, I underwent a successful surgery to remove my thyroid and surrounding lymph nodes and by the grace of God I am now cancer-free."
"I want to thank the Arkansas doctors and nurses for their world-class care, as well as my family and friends for their love, prayers, and support."
