Mike Huckabee Gives Brilliant Response After He Was Accused Of Racism Over Pelosi/MS-13 Tweet
On Saturday, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee tweeted a picture of what appeared to be MS-13 gang members, joking they are House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) “campaign committee for the take back of the House.”
“Nancy Pelosi introduces her campaign committee for the take back of the House,” Huckabee tweeted.

Many responded to Huckabee’s comments by accusing him of being racist:
a racist says what?

Dear Mike Huckabee (@GovMikeHuckabee): I am a Vice Chair of the Campaign Committee to take back the House. It's going swell & Dems are way up in the polls.
Also, I served on active duty to defend bigots like you that engage in raging, hateful, racist speech.
In Christ,

We know why as they say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, gives some insight as to why your daughter is able to stand and lie to the public daily. Your racist self is showing big time.

This tweet is not “racially charged”.
It’s not “racially divisive”.
It's not “racialist”, or “sparking racial controversy.”
This tweet is straight up racist and the media should call it so. https://t.co/RAaMQFt6sY

Washington Post columnist Karen Tumulty tweeted a picture of Huckabee’s MS-13 tweet juxtaposed with one in which the former Arkansas governor accused the Red Hen’s ownership of bigotry of turning away his daughter, Sarah Sanders, because of her job working with President Trump.
Are these two people who call themselves @GovMikeHuckabee the same guy? pic.twitter.com/CSX8hTzAMT

Huckabee then fired back with a perfect response.
Yes @ktumulty because MS-13 is not a race but an illegal gang who rapes, murders, and mutilates children as sport. Nancy Pelosi defended them because she said @realDonaldTrump insulted them. Are you defending them too? Wasn’t aware that criminal was a “race.” https://t.co/qjmELJuYAm

MS-13 is not a race! It seems that most Democrats are too stupid to know the difference between someone’s race or their ethnic background!
Mike Huckabee’s comment is not racist or bigotry. Pelosi did defend MS13 and Gov. Huckabee pointed it out. He is commenting on their actions, not their race or ethnicity. He is also commenting that Pelosi is just stupid enough to hire them.
Everyone in the media is so outraged by every little thing these days. But, their outrage means less and less, we’re getting immune to it.
