Huckabee: WHCD taught me 'why eating Tide Pods is popular'



By BRENT D. GRIFFITHS 04/29/2018 03:40 PM EDT

Mike Huckabee says he learned something at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, but it's probably not what Michelle Wolf had in mind.

"After seeing the young female hired to verbally bully anyone who worked for @realDonaldTrump I now understand why eating Tide Pods is popular," the former Arkansas governor wrote on Twitter, referring to an online meme about the detergent-filled packets appearing edible.

"That level of vulgarity is best handled with a mouth washed out w/ soap," Huckabee wrote.

Huckabee, whose daughter, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, bore the brunt of some of the night's harshest lines, said the dinner intended to honor the First Amendment turned into a night of "bullying, vulgarity, and hate" by Wolf, the comedian who headlined the event.

She really is not very smart. She should have just said something like she was a strong female with an enviable job in a magnificent administration and these kind of partisan attacks come with the job when the opposition has no new ideas.....or some bullshit like that.

Odd phrasing, like he's an alien.

"I observed the young human female orally transmit information to its herd with an apparent intention to initiate what the species calls 'laughter'..."

The man's daughter works for the most vulgar man alive and Mike Huckabee really wants to go there?

Incredible!
