Huckabee: Trump would still be criticized if he shot Charlottesville driver 'between the eyes'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) on Sunday said President Trump would still be criticized for his response to the violence in Charlottesville if he personally executed the driver who on Saturday allegedly drove into protesters, killing one. 
 
"If Donald Trump has suddenly jumped on Marine One...down to Charlottesville, walked into the jail where the young man was being held, shot him between the eyes, I guarantee you people said he didn't use the right caliber bullet," Huckabee said, The Washington Examiner reported.
 

Trump has taken some heat for his response to the violence that broke out on Saturday in southern Virginia. Three people died and multiple were injured after a car plowed into protesters and counter-protesters. The incident happened shortly after Virginia's governor declared a state of emergency due to the crowds.

Trump drew fire for initially blaming “many sides” while condemning the violence. The White House later clarified Trump’s stance on Sunday, saying that “of course” Trump denounces "white supremacists, KKK Neo-Nazi and all extremist groups.”
Huckabee rejected comments that Trump didn’t forcefully condemn the white supremacists behind the rally, saying Trump was "explicitly clear in condemning what happened and the fact was he will never satisfy those who hate his every word.”

3. Didn't trump call on cops to be abusive ?

[nini]

4. And why is that a bad thing?

He helped fuel this evil - his empty words do not change that.

[Downtown Hound]

5. Yes but since he didn't and never would, kind of irrelevant. n/t

[MyOwnPeace]

6. Rev. Mikey has that all wrong..........

He wasn't paying attention to Orange Cheat-o!
Cheat-o said he could STILL get elected if he shot someone.
They surely don't believe that ANYBODY would be upset if that happened now, do they?

[NRaleighLiberal]

7. What a fucking asshole thing to say...in character though.

[NightWatcher]

8. Due Process mother fucker. This is America, we use it.

[Solly Mack]

9. Yes, Huckabee, we know you're a racist. You never have to open your mouth again and

we'd still know it.

So we know you'll defend Trump over his racism.

You can hush now.

[JI7]

13. and his racist daughter will do the same

[Solly Mack]

17. Yep. Huckster, Jr. will do the exact same.

[Weekend Warrior]

11. Yes, his base would criticize him. Nt

[OnDoutside]

12. Not if he did it on 5th Avenue !!!

[customerserviceguy]

28. Oh, you so beat me to it!

[yardwork]

14. What a disgusting and foolish thing for Huckabee to say.

[kacekwl]

31. Condemning white supremacists and Nazis has nothing to do with

president dumb ass shooting the killer. That would stop one but would do nothing for the other racists who follow his lead. Stupid comment from fake Christian.

[ismnotwasm]

15. Well yes...

[Warren DeMontague]

16. They think he's Dirty Harry

This is a guy whose idea of being a badass is getting in a twitter fight with Rosie O'Donnell.

[bronxiteforever]

18. HuKKKabee. N/t

[smirkymonkey]

19. What a revolting person!

He and his daughter are the scum of the earth.

[BannonsLiver]

20. Oh go fuck yourself, Governor.

[Grassy Knoll]

21. Fake Christian

[oasis]

22. Huck & daughter Sarah are rivals to be the first to kiss Trump's ass

before the sun comes up.🌞

[Maeve]

23. First of all, that would be murder

And then we could lock him up and get on to impeaching Pence. But, second of all....Huckabee is a total ass and wouldn't know appropriate presidential behavior if if were modelled in front of him for...oh, the last eight years or so.

[Initech]

24. Did Mike seig heii six times or only five?

You know he wanted to participate!

[procon]

25. Yes he would, because that would be a criminal act.

Why doesn't Huckabee, unlike most citizens, know that murder is crime? He claims to be a pious man, and yet he seems totally unfamiliar with the primary laws of his own religion. He is a poor choice for a Trump apologist, and his broad interpretation of what Trump really meant to say falls on deaf ears. Let Trump speak and do his own explaining.

[blueinredohio]

26. Huckabee would be there too if he knew he wouldn't lose his cushy job

[mahatmakanejeeves]

27. Um, innocent until proven guilty ... trial ... jury ... "the American way" ... remember? NT

[VMA131Marine]

29. Huckabee flirted with decency with his statements on Saturday

I guess he decided to go a different way. And to think that he is nominally a man of the cloth.

[delisen]

30. Huckabee, the Christian minister just never sounds

Christ-like. The violent imagery reminds me of David Koresh.

Huckabee did build his 10,000 sq ft multi-million dollar ocean front "beach cottage" in Florida on sand -after fighting building regulations.

Undoubted the taxpayers are on the hook for flood insurance.

32. Now THAT'S the way to...

...sprinkle oil on the troubled waters, not-so-reverend Fuckabee. (And that it not a typo.)
