Mike Huckabee Takes on Rainbow-Colored Doritos
By BEN GITTLESON Sep 25, 2015, 1:25 PM ET
Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has a new enemy: Doritos Rainbows.
After Frito-Lay this month said it would mail rainbow-colored Doritos chips to consumers who donate money to the It Gets Better Project, a nonprofit helping the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, Huckabee went on the offense against the snack-maker.
In a letter his campaign said he sent Frito-Lay on Tuesday, Huckabee said Dan Savage, the man behind the group benefiting from the bags, has for years made “very hateful and vulgar comments toward Christians” and called “for violence and injury to people he disagrees with.”
The letter follows one four days earlier in which Huckabee first asked Frito-Lay, a subsidiary of PepsiCo that produces Doritos, to stop raising money for Savage’s project, according to Huckabee’s campaign, which said Thursday he had yet to receive a response to either one.

I'm already on the record saying snarky things about rainbow Doritos.
Does that make me a Huckster fan by association?
