After Alec Baldwin announced that he was done playing President Trump on Saturday Night Live and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee celebrated the fact, Baldwin decided to respond by taking a cheap shot at Huckabee&#8217;s daughter, White House press spokesman Sarah Sanders, by labeling her a &#8220;mouthpiece for fascism.&#8221;
As <a href="https://www.mrctv.org/blog/alec-baldwin-attacks-sarah-huckabee-sanders-mouthpiece-fascism-amid-feud-gov-huckabee">MRCTV noted,</a> the series of exchanges started with Baldwin telling <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2019/06/06/alec-baldwin-talks-retiring-trump-snl-new-delorean-documentary/1338771001/">USA Today</a>:
<blockquote>
Darrell Hammond did it and is a far better impressionist than I&#8217;ll ever be. When Anthony Alamanuik (started impersonating Trump on Comedy Central&#8217;s &#8220;The President Show&#8221;), all these people were attacking me, saying, &#8220;Oh, your impression sucks and you suck. Please go away.&#8221; It also was something I thought to myself: &#8220;I really don&#8217;t have a lot invested in my Trump impersonation, so please find someone and convince Lorne (Michaels) to replace me.&#8221; I&#8217;m completely down with that. Winning the Emmy for that show aside, it was not some career goal of mine.So if (Atamanuik) wants the job, it&#8217;s his. He can have it. I&#8217;ve done that. I mean, I had a lot of fun with (the cast), and when Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider wrote (Trump sketches in 2016 and 2017), that was new, it was fresh and the ratings were good. But I feel like I&#8217;m done with that now. I&#8217;m so done with that.

That prompted Baldwin to take a shot at Huckabee&#8217;s daughter, writing, &#8220;Who knows what the future holds? I tell what it should hold. That you, who have sucked a govt paycheck out of the economy while you were a dreadful Lt gov and then gov and that daughter of yours, a mouthpiece for fascism, that you go away.

If Baldwin has problems with fascism, he might want to check his endorsement of the Hollywood boycott of Georgia after the state passed a fetal heartbeat bill, an action that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/45437/stephen-baldwin-blasts-brother-alec-boycotting-paul-bois">irritated his brother Stephen</a> enough for him to tweet publicly criticizing his brother. As far as his big announcement that he was through playing Trump, he&#8217;s been threatening to stop for two years. In March 2017, he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/14204/alec-baldwin-explains-why-hes-giving-trump-james-barrett">stated</a>, &#8220;Trump just overwhelmingly lacks any sportsmanship, he remains, bitter, and angry, and you just want to look at him and go, &#8216;You won!&#8217; His policies aside, which you can hate, I thought he would have just relaxed.&#8221; He continued, &#8220;The maliciousness of this White House has people worried&#8230; that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m not going to do it much longer, the impersonation, I don&#8217;t know how much more people can take it.&#8221;

Alec Baldwin Attacks Sarah Sanders: She’s A ‘Mouthpiece For Fascism’

Pause. Rewind.
This is the story of the ridiculous feud between CNN political analyst April Ryan and Fox News host Mike Huckabee.
On Thursday, Ryan appeared on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;Out Front with Erin Burnett&#8221; to discuss the release of the Mueller report. During the panel discussion, Ryan was asked about the allegations that White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders made certain statements to the public that were inaccurate.
Ryan stated:
<blockquote>
Not only does she not have credibility, she lied. She out and out lied. And the people, the American people can&#8217;t trust her. They can&#8217;t trust what&#8217;s said from the President&#8217;s mouthpiece, spokesperson from the people&#8217;s house. Therefore, she should be let go. She should be fired, end of story.
When there is a lack of credibility there, you have to start and start lopping the heads off. It&#8217;s fire me Thursday or fire me Good Friday. She needs to go.
</blockquote>

From there, several outlets reported on Ryan&#8217;s quote.
After conservative blog <a href="https://www.redstate.com/bonchie/2019/04/19/cnns-april-ryan-says-sarah-sanders-head-lopped-off/">RedState</a> published a piece with the not-at-all sensationalistic title: &#8220;CNN&#8217;s April Ryan Says Sarah Sanders&#8217; Head Should Be &#8216;Lopped Off,'&#8221; Mike Huckabee, Fox News host and father of the White House Press Secretary, sent out the following tweets:

As for Huckabee&#8217;s alleged deer-gutting &#8220;threat,&#8221; there&#8217;s more to the story.
In November 2017, a <a href="https://freebeacon.com/culture/cnn-wh-correspondent-april-ryan-insinuates-huckabee-sanders-pecan-pie-fraud/">dispute</a> arose surrounding a tweet from Sarah Huckabee Sanders in which she showed off an allegedly homemade chocolate pecan pie. The photo of the pie looked as though it could have been something from a stock catalogue.
In response, April Ryan sent out a tweet asking Sanders to take a picture of the pie &#8220;on a table.&#8221; Ryan then jokingly demanded that Huckabee Sanders &#8220;show it to us on the table with folks eating it and a pic of you cooking it.&#8221; She continued: &#8220;I am getting the biggest laugh out of this.&#8221;
When asked about &#8220;PieGate&#8221; on Fox Business Network, Mike Huckabee <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/online/april-ryan-reminds-mike-huckabee-he-once-said-she-should-be-gutted-like-a-deer/">told</a> host Stuart Varney:
<blockquote>
Let me tell you something, she&#8217;s been making this pie for years &#8230; makes them for friends, but here&#8217;s the warning that I would issue. Stuart, don&#8217;t ever, and I mean don&#8217;t ever mess with a Southern woman and her homemade pies. It is as dangerous as when you hear a Southern woman begin her sentence with &#8216;bless your heart.&#8217; It means you&#8217;re about to be gutted like a deer and just don&#8217;t know it.
</blockquote>
He added: &#8220;I just think that it just shows how ridiculous the coverage has become, and &#8216;PieGate&#8217; certainly should be over.&#8221;

Is this not the most ludicrous feud?
A quote from April Ryan in which she used hyperbole as a means of expressing her desire to see the White House Press Secretary fired led to Mike Huckabee demanding that CNN reprimand Ryan over her &#8220;incitement to murder.&#8221;
Clearly angry about Huckabee&#8217;s tweets, Ryan then accused the Fox News host of threatening her, even tweeting: &#8220;If anything happens to me or mine or anyone connected to me, you and your daughter and this administration will be held accountable!&#8221; Of course, Huckabee&#8217;s alleged &#8220;threat&#8221; was a well-understood joke about the dangers of messing with southern women.
Ryan then went even further, telling Huckabee that he wouldn&#8217;t get into heaven.
Two adults who should be covering and analyzing the news in a manner befitting the seriousness of the topics at hand are using social media to disingenuously insult one another about hyperbole and jokes. This feud about nothing is a stunning microcosm of media hackery and the ways in which tribal sniping have consumed cable news like a cancer. It should also serve as a what-not-to-do instruction manual for anyone in the industry.

CAMP: The Ridiculous Feud Between CNN’s April Ryan And Fox News’ Mike Huckabee Examined

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is one angry woman.
The 29-year-old former bartender who&#8217;s set to become the youngest member of the House of Representatives in January took a swipe at White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders &#8212; for no reason.
The unwarranted attack came after the Democratic Socialist claimed that her election victory was equal to man landing on the moon, America getting electricity, and the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Ocasio-Cortez, speaking at a press conference for the far-left Sunshine Movement in Washington, said, &#8220;&#8221;This is not just about a clean new deal. This is about a new deal for the United States of America.&#8221;
&#8220;Because in every moment when our country has reached the depths of darkness, in every moment when we were at the brink, at the cusp of an abyss and we did not know if we would be capable of saving ourselves, we have,&#8221; Ocasio-Cortez continued. &#8220;We&#8217;ve done it. We&#8217;ve dug deep and we&#8217;ve done what we thought was impossible.&#8221;
&#8220;We went to the moon. We electrified the nation,&#8221; Ocasio-Cortez said. &#8220;We established civil rights. We enfranchised the country. We digged deep and we did it. We did it when no one else thought that we could. That&#8217;s what we did when so many of us won an election this year.&#8221;
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee on Sunday mocked Ocasio-Cortez for the absurd claim that her victory in a small liberal district in New York is comparable to the moon landing and the civil rights movement.
&#8220;Ocasio-Cortez compares her election to moon landing. Huh? Big difference. Moon landing was LUNAR, not LOONEY; Moon landing done by ppl who knew what they were doing&#8230;those who elected someone who thought there were 3 branches of Congress did NOT,&#8221; Huckabee wrote on Twitter.

</div>
It&#8217;s unclear what &#8220;false statements&#8221; Ocasio-Cortez was referring to, because she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/38491/watch-ocasio-cortez-has-no-idea-what-3-branches-ryan-saavedra">really doesn&#8217;t know</a> the three branches of government.
&#8220;If we work our butts off to make sure that we take back all three chambers of Congress &#8212; uh, rather, all three chambers of government: the presidency, the Senate, and the House,&#8221; Ocasio-Cortez said November 18 in a call with prospective far-left political candidates.
The three branches, not chambers, of the U.S. government, are (of course) the executive, legislative, and judicial.
And for the record, &#8220;loony&#8221; comes from the word &#8220;lunatic&#8221; &#8212; which is derived from the Latin &#8220;luna&#8221; after the belief that lunacy fluctuated with the phases of the moon, the Merriam-Webster dictionary says.
Which seems the perfect word to describe Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s claim that her victory is equal to man landing on the moon.

Ocasio-Cortez Calls Trump Spokesman Sarah Sanders A Liar (For No Reason)

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Backlash against the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia got a little out of control, and a little gross, on Tuesday, culminating in one 51-year-old protester getting arrested after throwing &#8220;chicken poop&#8221; in the general direction of the Sarah Huckabee Sanders-persecuting restaurant.
The fallout from the decision of the Red Hen&#8217;s owner to ask Sanders to leave because she works for the Trump administration, and then allegedly helping to stir up a protest against Sanders mostly-liberal family afterward, continues.
The owner, Stephanie Wilkinson, has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/32372/red-hen-owner-resigns-director-non-profit-after-emily-zanotti">resigned</a> from her role of director of a local non-profit group designed to promote businesses in the city as a result of the distraction she now presents. &#8220;Considering the events of the past weekend, Stephanie felt it best, that for the continued success of Main Street Lexington, she should step aside,&#8221; the president of the board said.
On Tuesday, Wilkinson&#8217;s restaurant, which has remained closed since the incident, was visited by a group of protesters who were outraged by the anti-Trumper bigotry. One of those protesters, a West Virginia man, is facing charges after allegedly throwing chicken poop at the restaurant.
<a href="http://wset.com/news/local/west-virginia-man-charged-after-police-said-he-threw-feces-at-the-red-hen">WSET</a> reports on the rather raucous group of people, which, along with the feces-flinging West Virginian, included one guy carrying a sign declaring &#8220;homos are full of demons&#8221;:
<blockquote>
Tuesday, people turned to the street with their signs in hand to protest the restaurant, which has remained closed since the incident.
Outside the Red Hen people were chanting and held homemade signs, Corey Stewart campaign signs and American and Make America Great Again flags.
Another man held signs that said &#8220;Homos are full of demons&#8221; and &#8220;Unless they repent Let God Burn Them (LGBT) 2 Peter 2:6.&#8221;
</blockquote>
The West Virginian, Reginald Scott Lee, 51, &#8220;was arrested and charged with littering and disorderly conduct,&#8221; <a href="https://www.nbc4i.com/news/u-s-world/man-accused-of-throwing-chicken-poop-at-red-hen-restaurant/1268639940">NBC4</a> reports.

The firestorm over the Red Hen began when Sanders posted a brief account about her ill-treatment at the hands of Wilkinson:
<div class="embed tweet">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
Last night I was told by the owner of Red Hen in Lexington, VA to leave because I work for <a href="https://twitter.com/POTUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@POTUS</a> and I politely left.

</div>
Sanders handled the ugly situation with class, which Wilkinson later confirmed. The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/32238/trump-unloads-restaurant-booted-sarah-sanders-james-barrett">reports</a>:
<blockquote>
&#8220;I have a business, and I want the business to thrive. This feels like the moment in our democracy when people have to make uncomfortable actions and decisions to uphold their morals,&#8221; Wilkinson told the Post. Several of her employees, she said, are gay and disagreed with Trump&#8217;s call for a ban on transgender troops in the military. &#8220;Tell me what you want me to do. I can ask her to leave,&#8221; she says she told her staff. &#8220;They said yes.&#8221;
After telling the press secretary who she was, Wilkinson said she asked for her to come out to the patio, where she &#8220;explained that the restaurant has certain standards that I feel it has to uphold, such as honesty, and compassion, and cooperation. I said, &#8216;I&#8217;d like to ask you to leave.'&#8221; Sanders respectfully agreed to leave and offered to pay for the food that was being prepared. &#8220;I said, no,&#8221; Wilkinson said. &#8220;It&#8217;s on the house.&#8221;
</blockquote>
But that was not the full story.
&#8220;There&#8217;s a part of that story that has not been told,&#8221; Sanders&#8217; father Mike Huckabee <a href="https://www.cnsnews.com/blog/craig-bannister/mike-huckabee-red-hen-owner-followed-sarah-sanders-family-across-street-heckled">told</a> Laura Ingraham over the weekend. &#8220;Once Sarah and her family left &#8212; of course Sarah was asked to please vacate &#8212; Sarah and her husband just went home, they&#8217;d had enough. But, the rest of her family went across the street to a different restaurant. The owner of the Red Hen &#8212; nobody&#8217;s told this &#8212; then followed them across the street, called people and organized a protest, yelling and screaming at them from outside the other restaurant and creating this scene.&#8221;
The incident has set off a series of debates over the increasing degree of incivility of protesters and the personal harassment of political figures, which Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters infamously called for after the targeting of Sanders.

On Monday, former governor Mike Huckabee, father of White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders, revealed that the harassment suffered by his daughter&#8217;s family was much worse than initial reports suggested.
On Friday, Sanders and her family were asked to leave a Virginia-based Red Hen restaurant by the owner because Sanders works for President Donald Trump:

But according to Huckabee, after Sanders and her husband left the establishment to go home, the rest of her extended family &#8212; her liberal in-laws &#8212; walked to a restaurant nearby to have dinner. They were allegedly followed and further harassed by the Red Hen owner.
&#8220;There&#8217;s a part of that story that has not been told,&#8221; <a href="https://www.cnsnews.com/blog/craig-bannister/mike-huckabee-red-hen-owner-followed-sarah-sanders-family-across-street-heckled">said</a> Huckabee, speaking on Laura Ingraham&#8217;s radio show. &#8220;Once Sarah and her family left &#8212; of course Sarah was asked to please vacate &#8212; Sarah and her husband just went home, they&#8217;d had enough. But, the rest of her family went across the street to a different restaurant.&#8221;
&#8220;The owner of the Red Hen &#8212; nobody&#8217;s told this &#8212; then followed them across the street, called people and organized a protest, yelling and screaming at them from outside the other restaurant and creating this scene,&#8221; he continued.
&#8220;One of the members of Sarah&#8217;s in-laws who were there &#8212; by the way, most of her in-laws, not her mother in-law and father in-law, but most of them are very liberal. And, one of them walked out and said: &#8216;Look, I don&#8217;t like Trump. I&#8217;m not a supporter. I&#8217;m a far &#8212; considered liberal &#8212; but, you guys are embarrassing me and you&#8217;re not helping your cause,'&#8221; added Huckabee.
&#8220;This is what the Left has been reduced to &#8212; it&#8217;s really tragic. And, it is dangerous and that&#8217;s what I think people need to recognize,&#8221; warned the former governor.

[WARNING: Tweets Within This Article Contain Strong Language]
Former Governor of Arkansas Mike Huckabee trolled House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi with an MS-13 tweet on Saturday which angered many anti-Trump personalities on Twitter.
Huckabee tweeted a photo of MS-13 gang members and wrote: &#8220;Nancy Pelosi introduces her campaign committee for the take back of the House.&#8221;

Huckabee&#8217;s tweet comes after President Donald Trump referred to MS-13 as &#8220;animals&#8221; during a May 16 roundtable discussion on sanctuary cities. The media and the Democrats <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/30747/media-goes-overdrive-lying-about-trumps-animal-ryan-saavedra">lied</a> about Trump&#8217;s remarks and claimed that he was referring to all illegal immigrants when it was clear he was referring to MS-13.
Pelosi then gave a press conference where she continued to spread that lie, and she indirectly defended MS-13, saying, &#8220;And so when the president of the United States says about undocumented immigrants, &#8216;These aren&#8217;t people, these are animals,&#8217; you have to wonder, does he not believe in the spark of divinity, the dignity and worth of every person?&#8221;
Immediately after twisting Trump&#8217;s comments, Pelosi left the press conference without taking any questions from the press.
The Republican National Committee (RNC) followed up Pelosi&#8217;s remarks by releasing a brutal campaign ad against the Democrats, saying: &#8220;Democrats&#8217; Midterm Message: MS-13 Killers&#8230;They&#8217;re Not So Bad.&#8221;

Trump&#8217;s got a point on the attorney-client privilege. Under the U.S. Constitution, communications between clients and their lawyers are almost always beyond the reach of law enforcement, Business Insider reported.
<blockquote>
Business Insider on Monday reported that such a raid would have a high burden for approval, with authorities needing to convince a judge that less intrusive measures had no chance of success. The exact reason for the raid was unclear, but reports Monday indicated that the matter was referred to the FBI by Robert Mueller, the special counsel leading the Russia investigation.
A former federal prosecutor, Ken White, in a blog for Reason, wrote: &#8220;That&#8217;s a very fraught and extraordinary move that requires multiple levels of authorization within the Department of Justice&#8221; and an &#8220;elaborate review process.&#8221;
</blockquote>
In the raid, the FBI reportedly collected records related to Cohen&#8217;s $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels just before the 2016 presidential election, The New York Times reported Monday.
Former GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee ripped the raid, musing about whether the American Civil Liberties Union will seek to protect the Constitution.

Trump Berates FBI For Raid On Lawyer’s Office: ‘Attorney-Client Privilege Is Dead!’

Jim Carrey may have finally gone too far over-the-top, and that&#8217;s saying a lot for a guy who made a career out of defining the parameters of over-the-top.
Over the weekend, the famed comedic actor took a cheap shot at WH press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders with a grotesque painting. Though Carrey did not explicitly name the press secretary, the painting looked eerily similar to her, albeit with grotesque abnormalities. In addition to portraying her as &#8220;Monstrous!,&#8221; Carrey suggested she was a false Christian:
<div class="embed tweet">

That occurred on St. Patrick&#8217;s Day, a holiday celebrating a beloved Christian saint. Carrey received enormous <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/28388/jim-carrey-slammed-sarah-sanders-painting-james-barrett">blowback</a> for the tweet, with many people saying he made it way too personal by attacking Sarah Huckabee Sanders&#8217; faith.

Mike Huckabee SLAMS Jim Carrey: ‘Low Blow’ To Attack My Daughter’s Faith

Hollywood

On Friday, alleged comedian and &#8220;feminist&#8221; Chelsea Handler &#8212; clearly still suffering from election PTSD &#8212; ranted about White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on her now-cancelled Netflix show.
Handler called Sanders a &#8220;harlot&#8221; and viciously mocked her appearance. &#8220;That harlot that they&#8217;re dressing up and trolloping out every day?&#8221; she said. &#8220;I mean, one day she has no makeup on at all, the next she got, like, six-foot-long eyelashes, and she&#8217;s got cleavage and summer whore lipstick all over her face. Can you believe what they turned her into? A proper trollop.&#8221;
Papa Huckabee was not having it.
Appearing on Fox News on Wednesday morning, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee went off on &#8220;bitter&#8221; and &#8220;lonely&#8221; Handler for being &#8220;jealous&#8221; of his daughter, and therefore lashing out.
&#8220;The things that Chelsea Handler said were vile and vulgar,&#8221; <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/dec/6/mike-huckabee-shreds-bitter-lonely-chelsea-handler/">said</a> Huckabee. &#8220;I&#8217;m surprised that there were not women on the left who at least had the decency to call her out for this.&#8221;
&#8220;I feel sad for Chelsea Handler,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;She seems like a very angry and bitter person.&#8221;
&#8220;She seems to be just in a rage,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And the sad thing about it, she boasts about the two abortions she had at 16, I think in many ways she&#8217;s jealous of my daughter. My daughter has a husband who loves her and is wonderful to her, my daughter has three delightful children, she&#8217;s a happy, balanced person, she enjoys life.&#8221;
Huckabee added that he is &#8220;not angry&#8221; with Handler, but feels &#8220;sorry&#8221; for the comedian.
&#8220;I&#8217;m not angry at her, I feel for her,&#8221; the former governor said. &#8220;I truly feel sorry for her and I feel that she&#8217;s lashing out at a life that she just doesn&#8217;t understand and has never been able to embrace and that&#8217;s sad. So, no reason to be angry at Chelsea. Pray for her that she&#8217;ll find some peace because she doesn&#8217;t have it right now. It&#8217;s pretty evident by the tone of voice that she&#8217;s an angry, bitter, and frankly, lonely person.&#8221;
Ouch.

WATCH: Mike Huckabee SLAMS ‘Lonely’ Chelsea Handler For Calling Daughter Sarah Sanders A ‘Harlot’

Chelsea Handler

The View has just been masquerading as empowered television for women all these years. After today, they might as well call themselves shills for the Patriarchy.
Former governor Mike Huckabee and his daughter, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, faced off with the panel of fearsome female screechers on Wednesday, and while they weren&#8217;t expecting a friendly welcome, appeared to get more than they bargained for in their segment.
&#8220;Who approved you coming here?&#8221; co-host Joy Behar asked Sanders to kick off the segment. &#8220;The Mooch? Is that why he was fired? I&#8217;m shocked that you&#8217;re here, both of you.&#8221;
Behar then laid into Sanders specifically, criticizing her choice of profession. &#8220;I feel sorry for you that you have to go out and defend these lies every day,&#8221; Behar condescended.
If that weren&#8217;t bizarre enough &#8212; putting down a woman for her choice of career and then lampooning her boss as though members of Behar&#8217;s preferred political party were somehow paragons of virtue &#8212; the gaggle of ladies then went after Mike Huckabee, not because he supports President Donald Trump (that, of course, came later), but because he would dare to allow his own daughter, whom he presumably controls, to work for a man they couldn&#8217;t fathom liking.
&#8220;The things that he says about women are horrendous,&#8221; Behar shot at Huckabee, referring to the president. &#8220;Having said that, how can you let your daughter defend him?&#8221;
Both Huckabee and Sanders tried to reply as cooly as they could. Sanders defended Trump, saying that she&#8217;s experienced nothing but professional behavior in her interactions with the president.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve spent a lot of time with the president,&#8221; Sanders said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve never felt anything but respected and empowered to do exactly what I&#8217;m there to do every day and that is my job.&#8221;
Huckabee praised the president&#8217;s record for hiring women. &#8220;He&#8217;s given my daughter an incredible opportunity,&#8221; Huckabee said. &#8220;Look at the women that he&#8217;s hired not only in the White House, but also the women that he&#8217;s hired in the private sector.&#8221;
Behar snarled in return but was oddly silent.
You can watch the exchange here (yes, the segment title does, indeed, reference &#8220;Trump&#8217;s lies&#8221; as if they were a foregone conclusion):

Behar is, of course, no intellectual heavyweight, and The View isn&#8217;t exactly a rousingly intelligent exchange of ideas between masters of political science, so it&#8217;s not like viewers can expect anything aside from what&#8217;s regularly delivered (or, for that matter, much beyond the inscrutable shrieks of underinformed left-leaning &#8220;feminists&#8221;).
But at the very least, viewers might expect The View, a show for women featuring women, to acknowledge that Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a grown woman who can make choices that her daddy doesn&#8217;t have to approve. After all, this is the post-Patriarchal world, right? Women discussing big ideas? Holding higher office? Handling the media? Instead, they treat Sanders with shocking sexism, playing into the deep assumption of misogyny they&#8217;ve routinely claim they&#8217;re at the forefront of battling.
It&#8217;s, of course, no surprise. No woman who disagrees with Joy Behar can think for herself. She&#8217;s just a tool of the Patriarchy, complicit in her own systemic oppression.

Former Governor Mike Huckabee Drops One Of The Dumbest Tweets Of All Time About CNN

James Comey

Former presidential candidate, Mike Huckabee, has a bad habit of taking big-government positions that are antithetical to conservatism. The latest example is his support for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).
&#8220;To some, it may seem as though the $147.9 million allocated to the NEA in fiscal 2016 is money to be saved,&#8221; Huckabee wrote in <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/mike-huckabee-a-conservative-plea-for-the-national-endowment-of-the-arts/2017/03/22/8d6d746a-0d94-11e7-9d5a-a83e627dc120_story.html?utm_term=.a587cb1f4979">a Washington Post column</a>. &#8220;But to someone such as me &#8212; for whom an early interest in music and the arts became a lifeline to an education and academic success &#8212; this money is not expendable, extracurricular or extraneous. It is essential.&#8221; 
Here are five reasons why Huckabee&#8217;s desire to continue funding the NEA is idiotic:
1. It&#8217;s a program that subsidizes corporate welfare. Huckabee writes in his piece that 40 percent of NEA grants &#8220;go to high-poverty neighborhoods, while 36 percent reach underserved people such as veterans and those with disabilities.&#8221; However, over 20 percent of NEA&#8217;s grants go to &#8220;multimillion-dollar arts organizations,&#8221; according to <a href="http://www.heritage.org/report/ten-good-reasons-eliminate-funding-the-national-endowment-orthe-arts">a 1997 Heritage Foundation report</a>. John Ellis, who was once involved in the arts himself, writes in <a href="https://pjmedia.com/lifestyle/2017/03/05/the-national-endowment-for-the-arts-is-bad-for-art-and-should-be-defunded/">PJ Media</a> that he has witnessed art organizations receive &#8220;taxpayers dollars, and with a kindergartener level of pettiness disbursed that stolen taxed money amongst their friends.&#8221;
Clearly, a decent amount of the NEA&#8217;s funds are a form of corporate welfare and should easily be on the chopping block.
2. Huckabee&#8217;s argument is predicated on the broken window fallacy. &#8220;The arts are a $730 billion industry, representing 4.2 percent of our gross domestic product &#8212; more than transportation, tourism and agriculture,&#8221; Huckabee writes. &#8220;The nonprofit side of the arts alone generates $135 billion in economic activity, supporting 4.1 million jobs.&#8221;
Huckabee is essentially implying that federal funding is needed to prop up an important industry, but this is a perfect example of <a href="http://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/08/broken-window-fallacy.asp">the broken window fallacy</a> &#8211; the notion that breaking a window is beneficial to the economy just because someone is getting paid to fix it. According to the broken window fallacy, the money spent fixing the window could have been spent on a luxury good to improve the consumer&#8217;s life; the consumer is no better off than he was before the window was broken.
The same holds true for the economy: federal tax dollars that go toward various arts organizations could have been better allocated by the market. Ellis delves into this further:
<blockquote>
The economic stimulus felt and supposedly generated by the arts community comes at the expense of other markets. Chances are, the tax dollars given to arts organizations would have been more effectively used elsewhere to benefit local economies. All that money pumped into the local economy by arts organizations would have been pumped into the economy anyway. The taxpayers would have decided which markets to support. And those markets would&#8217;ve naturally grown, strengthened, and added jobs and wealth to the economy. The National Endowment for the Arts model artificially props up mostly unwanted markets by using tax dollars that get funneled through inefficient and wasteful bureaucracies.
</blockquote>
Therefore, Huckabee&#8217;s economic argument for the NEA is not compelling.
3. The arts community receives far more money from private funders than from the federal government. Huckabee states in his column that $147.9 million went to the NEA in fiscal year 2016. What he doesn&#8217;t mention is that in 2015, the arts community received <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2017/02/28/scrap-nea-and-america-arts-scene-will-thrive/FIUUzXoTbG6sOzwK0QdMQL/story.html">$17 billion</a>. By comparison, the NEA&#8217;s funding to the arts is a drop in the bucket. America&#8217;s music and arts industry was <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2017/02/28/scrap-nea-and-america-arts-scene-will-thrive/FIUUzXoTbG6sOzwK0QdMQL/story.html">thriving even before the NEA was created</a> and will continue to do so should it get de-funded.
4. The NEA has a history of wasting taxpayer money on productions that are ridiculous and perpetuate the leftist agenda. <a href="http://www.cnsnews.com/mrctv-blog/curtis-kalin/top-20-worst-ways-government-wasted-your-tax-dollars">These</a> <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/mar/17/life-without-arts-10-crazy-grants-given-nea-neh/">include</a>:
<ul>
<li>$10,000 to produce a musical called Zombie In Love.</li>
<li>$10,000 to produce a show about a girl hallucinating that she is Elvis Presley and hanging out with Teddy Roosevelt.</li>
<li>$95,000 for a William Shakespeare production that didn&#8217;t feature any words.</li>
<li>$20,000 for a &#8220;Piss Christ&#8221; photo.</li>
<li>$20,000 on art promoting climate change propaganda.</li>
<li>$10,000 on a play called Cocked about a lesbian couple promoting gun control.</li>
<li>$50,000 on a play called Trans Scripts, which, as the name implies, is about males who decided to identify as females.</li>
</ul>
5. If the NEA can&#8217;t be eliminated, there is no hope of reigning in the federal debt. Huckabee notes in his op-ed that the NEA only consists of &#8220;0.004 percent of the federal budget.&#8221; It may be a miniscule part of the budget, but the NEA is low-hanging fruit; every cut counts. If the government is incapable of cutting 0.004 percent of the federal budget, then it would be impossible to tackle <a href="http://www.usdebtclock.org/">the nearly $20 trillion fiscal operating debt</a>.

Mike Huckabee Wants To Keep Funding The National Endowment For The Arts. Here Are 5 Reasons That’s Idiotic.

Conservatism

Liberalism

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the Trump administration&#8217;s deputy press secretary, is quickly earning President Donald Trump&#8217;s trust through her staunch defense of the president.
&#8220;She understands America,&#8221; White House counselor Kellyanne Conway told the <a href="http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_TRUMP_SPOKESWOMAN?SITE=AP&amp;SECTION=HOME&amp;TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&amp;CTIME=2017-03-12-05-04-01">Associated Press</a>. &#8220;She understands the president. And she understands how to connect the two. The president has a great deal of trust in Sarah.&#8221;
Here are eight things you need to know about Sanders.
1. She is the daughter of Mike Huckabee. Per <a href="http://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/a9097268/sarah-huckabee-sanders-white-house-deputy-press-secretary/">Cosmopolitan</a>:
<blockquote>
She and her dad are close. In 2010, she told Time that her father was her political hero. &#8220;He&#8217;s an amazing politician, but an even better parent,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Everyday he challenges me to be a better person and I will forever be grateful for that.&#8221;
And the father and daughter speak most mornings before 6 a.m., according to The Associated Press. &#8220;I&#8217;ll call and say, &#8216;What do you think if I say this?&#8217; He&#8217;ll say, &#8216;That&#8217;s really good. You might try to say it a little bit more like X,'&#8221; she told the AP.
</blockquote>
2. Sanders worked for both of her father&#8217;s presidential campaigns, as well former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty&#8217;s (R) presidential campaign. Sanders was the national political director of Huckabee&#8217;s 2008 presidential campaign and the campaign manager of Huckabee&#8217;s 2016 presidential campaign. For Pawlenty&#8217;s 2012 presidential campaign, Sanders worked as the senior political advisor.
3. Sanders has worked for several other Republican campaigns. These include:
<ul>
<li>Field coordinator for her father&#8217;s 2002 re-election campaign for Arkansas governor</li>
<li>Ohio field director for George W. Bush&#8217;s 2004 re-election campaign for president</li>
<li>Campaign manager for then-Rep. John Boozman&#8217;s (R-Ark.) 2010 Senate campaign</li>
<li>Advisor for Sen. Tom Cotton&#8217;s (R-Ark.) 2014 re-election campaign for Senate</li>
<li>Senior adviser for Missouri Gov. John Brunner&#8217;s (R) gubernatorial campaign</li>
</ul>
<a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Sarah_Huckabee_Sanders">Ballotpedia</a> points out that Sanders actually took Boozman&#8217;s spot in a 2010 Republican primary debate because he was trying to fight Obamacare in the House of Representatives at that time.
4. Sanders joined the Trump campaign as a senior adviser in February once her father&#8217;s presidential bid flamed out. In September, Sanders&#8217; job included reaching out to &#8220;faith leaders, gun rights supporters, military groups, and other voter coalitions,&#8221; according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-09-06/trump-camp-optimistic-minority-outreach-efforts-will-be-effective">Bloomberg</a>. 
Sanders told the AP, &#8220;One of the big things my dad was running on was changing Washington, breaking that cycle. I felt like the outsider component was important and I thought he had the ability to actually win and defeat Hillary.&#8221;
5. Outside of her work for Republican campaigns, Sanders has worked for two consulting firms and for George W. Bush&#8217;s Department of Education. Sanders worked for Tsamoutales Strategies from 2011 to 2015; in 2014 she was the vice president of the organization. She left in June 2015 to <a href="http://heavy.com/news/2017/03/sarah-huckabee-sanders-5-fast-facts-you-need-to-know/">start</a> the Second Street Strategies consulting firm in February 2016 with her husband, <a href="http://www.secondstreetstrategies.com/about/">Bryan Sanders</a>, who also has an extensive career working for Republican campaigns.
Sanders also worked for a time as <a href="http://content.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1693434,00.html">the regional liaison under Bush&#8217;s Education Department.</a>
6. Sanders showed interest in politics at a young age. &#8220;When most kids at 7 or 8 are jumping rope, [Sarah is] sitting at the kitchen table listening to [political consultant] Dick Morris doing cross tabs on statewide polls,&#8221; Huckabee told AP.
7. Sanders once commended Barack Obama on the issue of broken families. &#8220;America needs more fathers taking an active role in their children&#8217;s lives,&#8221; Sanders told <a href="http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2023831_2023829_2025232,00.html">Time</a> in 2010. &#8220;Kids who are the victims of broken families are more likely to end up in poverty, rehab, or jail. I&#8217;m a Republican, but I respect President Obama for setting the right example and addressing this problem. I hope more people will join him in his efforts.&#8221;
8. Sanders has recently been involved in some contentious interviews over Trump&#8217;s allegations of Obama &#8220;wiretapping&#8221; his phone. The interviews, with ABC&#8217;s Martha Raddatz and George Stephanopoulos, can be seen below: (H/T: Cosmopolitan)

8 Things You Need To Know About Sarah Huckabee Sanders

Barack Obama

George W. Bush

Kellyanne Conway

Tom Cotton

Appearing on Fox News&#8217; &#8220;Hannity&#8221; Tuesday, former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee defended Donald Trump&#8217;s proposed trillion-dollar infrastructure initiative:
<blockquote>
&#8220;Well, let&#8217;s first just talk about the fact that we really do have probably two-three trillion dollars in total needs that have been identified by the Civil Engineers of America. And I know that sounds like, &#8216;Well, let&#8217;s just go and spend a bunch of government money.&#8217;
But Eric, in some cases, it&#8217;s the government that has to spend the money to build things like roads, and bridges, and airports&#8211;water [treatment plants]. Here&#8217;s a fact: if you build roads, for every billion dollars that you spend building a road, a highway, you put 7,900 people to work at the job site. If you start adding the indirect jobs, you&#8217;re talking about 16,000 &#8211; 17,000 more jobs.
So, the best way to get people off of government support is to give them a job. The most effective way to put people on a job is to do infrastructure jobs cause it&#8217;s the one thing you cannot outsource.&#8221;
</blockquote>
When asked by guest-host Eric Bolling about how the United States should pay for Trump&#8217;s infrastructure program, Huckabee suggested a 10% tax on American money that&#8217;s been kept overseas, and investing it in infrastructure bonds. Huckabee also suggested putting some federal land in the private sector so that it can be taxed.
Many conservatives are calling Mike Huckabee a hypocrite for defending Donald Trump&#8217;s stimulus plan, when just a few years ago, he condemned a similarly large spending plan proposed by President Obama. This, however, is a specious argument.
Trump&#8217;s stimulus plan revolves entirely around infrastructure&#8211;roads, bridges, water pipes, sewers, buildings, etc. Obama&#8217;s 2009 stimulus plan cast a much wider net, with money going to education, tax incentives, healthcare, aid for low-income workers, and energy. Only about 10% of the $831 billion plan was actually allocated to infrastructure spending, according to James Freeman of <a href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702303945704579387692278347858">The Wall Street Journal</a>.
There are stark differences between Obama&#8217;s stimulus package and Trump&#8217;s infrastructure plan. Considering such differences, it would be foolish to label Huckabee a hypocrite for supporting one and not the other. That said, it would be correct to call foolish Huckabee&#8217;s pronouncement that &#8220;the most effective way to put people on a job is to do infrastructure jobs.&#8221;
There&#8217;s a great myth surrounding infrastructure spending and joblessness. Many politicians&#8211;both Democratic and Republican&#8211;claim that because mass infrastructure spending creates &#8220;shovel ready&#8221; jobs, it&#8217;s an effective way to reduce unemployment. In the short term, this is true. However, once any infrastructure project is complete, the jobs it created disappear, and unemployment rises. Conservatives know this&#8211;but Mike Huckabee isn&#8217;t a conservative.
Huckabee has long supported infrastructure spending as a means of revivifying the economy. In 2008, he announced &#8220;<a href="https://schotlinepress.wordpress.com/2008/01/28/the-huckabee-plan-four-guiding-principles-for-strengthening-americas-infrastructure/">The Huckabee Plan: Four Guiding Principles for Strengthening America&#8217;s Infrastructure</a>.&#8221; He told CNN&#8217;s Wolf Blitzer <a href="http://www.ontheissues.org/Archive/2008_Late_Edition_Mike_Huckabee.htm">that same year</a> that &#8220;some long-term ways to stimulate [the] American economy&#8230;[would be] infrastructure.&#8221;
It&#8217;s important to clarify issues before making accusations. Mike Huckabee is indeed under the misapprehension that infrastructure spending stimulates the economy&#8211;something denounced by conservative economists. However, his defense of Donald Trump&#8217;s proposed infrastructure plan isn&#8217;t inconsistent with his past condemnation of Obama&#8217;s stimulus package.

WATCH: Huckabee Defends Trump’s $1 Trillion Spending Package. He Condemned Obama’s Plan. What’s the Difference?

Mike Huckabee just gave the worst final argument for Donald Trump that could ever possibly be made.
The former Arkansas governor sent out a tweet in which he compared Trump to &#8220;a car wreck&#8221; and Clinton to &#8220;a drunk-driver&#8221;:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
Trump may be a car wreck, but at least his car is pointed in right direction. Hillary is a drunk-driver going the wrong way on the freeway.
&#8212; Gov. Mike Huckabee (@GovMikeHuckabee) <a href="https://twitter.com/GovMikeHuckabee/status/794483288282955776">November 4, 2016</a></blockquote>
Naturally, the media pounced on the tweet, with news outlets like <a href="http://www.thewrap.com/donald-trump-car-wreck-mike-huckabee-hillary-clinton-twitter-metaphor/">The Wrap</a> calling it a &#8220;bizarre metaphor.&#8221; Huckabee responded by lashing out to the media in a subsequent tweet:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
Low IQ media don&#8217;t get my earlier tweet about car wreck. <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump">@realdonaldTrump</a> will bend fenders but is a vehicle going right way.
&#8212; Gov. Mike Huckabee (@GovMikeHuckabee) <a href="https://twitter.com/GovMikeHuckabee/status/794533797056356352">November 4, 2016</a></blockquote>
Or it could just be that the tweet was really that awkward. Comparing the candidate you&#8217;re voting for to a &#8220;car wreck&#8221; is not a convincing argument.
Huckabee turned into an ardent surrogate for Trump after Huckabee dropped out of the primary race. Huckabee even went as far as <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2016/07/21/huckabee-says-ted-cruz-earned-lyin-ted-moniker/">saying</a> that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) deserved to be called &#8220;Lyin&#8217; Ted&#8221; after Cruz&#8217;s non-endorsement of Trump at the Republican National Committee. <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Sarah_Huckabee_Sanders">Sarah Huckabee Sanders</a>, Huckabee&#8217;s daughter, works for the Trump campaign as <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/mike-huckabee-media-donald-trump-2016-11">a senior adviser</a>.

Mike Huckabee Gives The Worst Trump Final Defense Of All Time

Ted Cruz

In a post-debate panel discussion with Fox News&#8217; Sean Hannity Wednesday, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and pundit Laura Ingraham took turns blasting &#8220;Never Trump&#8221; voters.
<blockquote>
HUCKABEE: There was a very critical moment early in the debate, and I hope that every Catholic and every evangelical in this country pay careful attention to the stark contrast between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton when it came to the issue of protecting innocent human life.
Hillary Clinton vividly defended the idea of late-term, partial-birth abortion, calling it &#8220;women&#8217;s health.&#8221; Donald Trump boldly took a stand for life tonight. And for all these &#8216;Never Trumpers&#8217; out there, they need to get off their keister, if you will, just stand up and recognize there is a clear choice here.
HANNITY: Hey, Governor.
INGRAHAM: I&#8217;ll say the word.
HANNITY: Get off their ass, and stop being a bunch of crybabies&#8230;
INGRAHAM: They&#8217;re standing with the woman who stood up there today and said I&#8217;m 100% for Roe v. Wade, and partial-birth abortion. That&#8217;s what &#8216;Never Trump&#8217; stands for, I guess, Row v. Wade, and partial birth abortion. Fantastic.
HANNITY: And by the way, all the other decisions a Hillary appointee would make on the court for generations. You know&#8230;I&#8217;m so tired of all those people. They don&#8217;t deserve any more discussion until the day after the election. Then I&#8217;ve got a lot to say&#8230;

According to Ingraham, someone who cannot stomach a vote for Donald Trump because of his half-baked, shifting-sands populism, as well as his heinous personal behavior, must thereby directly support the dismemberment of innocent children.
This is a specious argument. In our system of government, as it stands today, the presidential election is indeed set up as a binary decision. However, when the choice is between two morally bankrupt individuals, each of whom are bereft of character in very distinct ways, the burden should not fall on those who cannot, in good conscience, vote for the &#8220;lesser evil.&#8221; There comes a point where the &#8220;lesser&#8221; is no longer tolerable, but fully unbearable.
Not a single conservative &#8220;Never Trump&#8221; voter supports partial-birth abortion. They simply cannot actively affirm an individual they believe is morally and politically unfit for the presidency on the basis that he might be better in some respects than the other odious option.
Moreover, as National Review&#8217;s David French writes, abortion isn&#8217;t simply an issue relegated to the Supreme Court, but one with <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/article/441181/hillary-clinton-american-constitution-checks-balances">deep ties to culture</a>:
<blockquote>
While Roe v. Wade is an abomination on the order of Dred Scott, pro-life Americans can&#8217;t kid themselves. Even if Roe were reversed tomorrow, abortion would still be legal in the United States. The true long-term impediment to reversing Roe hasn&#8217;t been the Supreme Court but rather the indifference and even support of the American people&#8230;As difficult as this is to say, Roe remains in effect through the consent and support of the American people.
</blockquote>
The Supreme Court has been largely conservative since at least the 1980s, yet Roe has remained in place. It seems unlikely that a Supreme Court with several new justices chosen by Donald Trump would overturn the law.
Additionally, <a href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/1576/abortion.aspx">according to Gallup</a>, for better or worse, Roe is supported by the American people. As recently as 2012, only 29% of Americans wanted the law overturned, while 53% wanted it kept in place. That said, Gallup also shows that the vast majority of Americans, 80%, want restrictions on abortions in the third trimester.
Roe allows for states to consider certain procedural bans, and many states have laws restricting abortions after a certain number of weeks post-fertilization. <a href="https://www.guttmacher.org/state-policy/explore/state-policies-later-abortions">The Guttmacher Institute reports</a> that 12 states ban abortion after 20 weeks, and another 12 ban the procedure at varying stages up to 24 weeks post-fertilization.
Finally, the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act enjoyed a comfortable 2-1 majority in the Senate when it passed in 2003, outlawing the barbaric practice.
Considering all of this, as well as conservative opposition in the House and Senate, Hillary Clinton would have a very difficult time making abortions more available if she were elected president.
On the flip-side, Donald Trump has been all over the map on nearly every issue, including abortion. Given that, there&#8217;s no guarantee that he will do anything to protect the unborn if elected president, let alone follow through on the other promises he&#8217;s made.

Laura Ingraham Says ‘Never Trump’ Voters Support Partial-Birth Abortion

Sean Hannity

Mike Huckabee, who has remained bitter throughout the 2016 presidential process that Ted Cruz got the support from major donors that Huckabee thought would support him, attacked Cruz again on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mikehuckabee/posts/10153908745387869">Facebook</a> after Cruz&#8217;s speech at the GOP convention Wednesday night, calling him by Donald Trump&#8217;s nickname for Cruz, &#8220;Lyin&#8217; Ted.&#8221; Huckabee wrote:
<blockquote>
The question of the night was whether Ted Cruz would honor his word and support the nominee or earn the moniker &#8220;Lyin Ted&#8221; given to him by the man who won. The question was whether Cruz would make his speech about HIS future or the future of the country. And that question was answered when Ted Cruz chose to not keep his word that he (along with me and every other GOP candidate) gave one year ago in that very arena where tonight he put his own ambitions above country.
Donald Trump did something no previous nominee has done&#8212;he allowed Ted Cruz to speak without his promising to support the nominee. I&#8217;ve spoken at every convention since 1992, and I can attest to the fact that no one got near that stage without supporting the nominee. Trump trusted Ted and was rewarded with a betrayal, but the delegates in that arena booed Cruz off the stage and out of Cleveland.
</blockquote>
First, Huckabee might want to note that in late March, Trump himself said he <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2016/03/29/donald-trump-says-he-no-longer-vows-to-support-the-republican-nominee/">would not support</a> the nominee if he wasn&#8217;t the nominee. At A CNN Townhall event, prompted by Anderson Cooper querying whether he would honor his pledge to support another nominee, Trump answered, &#8220;No, I don&#8217;t anymore. No, we&#8217;ll see who it is.&#8221; When Cooper responded that Cruz had not said that he wouldn&#8217;t support the eventual nominee, Trump replied, &#8220;He doesn&#8217;t have to support me.&#8221;
Second, Huckabee&#8217;s assertion that no nominee has allowed someone to speak who didn&#8217;t endorse him is incorrect. As Streiff of RedState has pointed out, Ronald Reagan gave a speech at the 1976 convention in which he <a href="http://www.redstate.com/streiff/2016/07/20/ronald-reagan-ever-endorse-gerald-ford/">did not endorse</a> Gerald Ford.
Third, Huckabee&#8217;s vendetta directed at Cruz, in which he writes that Cruz didn&#8217;t speak about the future of the country, is ludicrous. Virtually all of Cruz&#8217;s speech outlined a vision for America consistent with the ideals of its founders, unlike Trump, whose own denigration of America the very same week was amply demonstrated in an interview with <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/7664/5-ways-trump-just-proved-he-endangers-americas-hank-berrien">The New York Times</a>.
What is truly ironic is that Trump devotees have taken to calling Cruz a sore loser, when the real sore loser is Huckabee, who has never forgiven Cruz for <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/25/politics/ted-cruz-wilks-brothers/">winning over donors</a> whom Huckabee was counting on for his own presidential bid.

Huckabee: Cruz Is Still ‘Lyin’ Ted!’

On Friday, sounding like his new master, Donald Trump, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee <a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/huckabee-establishment-gop-lucky-theyre-not-bein?utm_term=.ol1G7bmKW#.bbMQv95G6">told</a> Sean Hannity that establishment Republicans should be happy that they haven&#8217;t been executed for their complicity in getting the Iran nuclear deal and Obamacare passed and allowing Planned Parenthood to be funded.
Huckabee blustered:
<blockquote>
Who made it possible for Obama to have the Iranian deal, full funding for Obamacare, Planned Parenthood funding? Republicans did that &#8230; And they&#8217;re getting what they justly deserve, they&#8217;re getting spanked. And they need to be happy they&#8217;re only getting spanked and not executed, because there is seething rage out in the country for those who have fought to help some of these guys get elected, and they get there and they surrender to Obama and people are sick of it. And I think that&#8217;s why we&#8217;ve seen the spirit of this election, and frankly Donald Trump gives me great comfort. I tell people, &#8220;I don&#8217;t have any hesitation going out there and genuinely supporting Donald Trump.&#8221;
</blockquote>
Huckabee ripped Mitt Romney for his open opposition to Trump, even lying about Romney&#8217;s record, claiming Romney was the first governor to allow same-sex marriage in his state and marching in gay pride parades. In fact, Romney opposed repealing Massachusetts&#8217; same-sex marriage ban. In Trump-like fashion, Huckabee proceeded to sound even more vulgar, adding, &#8220;I find it especially off-putting that he is the one who has led the &#8216;Never Trump&#8217; movement, and I just feel like that he has really soiled himself by taking such a harsh position.&#8221;
Speaking of soiling oneself, on Monday Huckabee <a href="http://www.charismanews.com/politics/issues/57638-mike-huckabee-has-some-advice-for-donald-trump">hotly defended</a> Trump for his racist comments regarding Trump University judge Gonzalo Curiel, ignoring the racism rump displayed and snapping, &#8220;He&#8217;s Donald Trump. He&#8217;s going to do what he&#8217;s going to do. If I were giving him advice, and he&#8217;s not asked for it, but here&#8217;s what it would be: Turn the focus on the fact that this is a civil case. He&#8217;s under no criminal investigation like Hillary is. She&#8217;s under a criminal investigation for things she did with taxpayer dollars.&#8221;
Asked if Trump was beyond control, Huckabee replied, &#8220;No, I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s that. I think he&#8217;s a man of great passion. If something hits him personally, he hits back personally, and I think that&#8217;s what&#8217;s going on.&#8221;

Huckabee: Establishment GOP Lucky We’re Not Executing Them

With Donald Trump now apparently spending every waking hour justifying longstanding complaints about his unfitness for office, Republicans are beginning to wake up to the nightmare they have created for themselves with their willingness to back Trump. To be fair, there are two types of Republicans now living through the Trumpian Inferno: those who stayed silent during the primaries, thereby handing the primaries to Trump, and those who opposed Trump. But it won&#8217;t matter much in the end: they&#8217;ll all ride the slow boat to electoral hell with him.
Today saw a bevy of Republican leaders struggle with their decision to back Trump, come hell or high water. They could have held out; they could have said that Trump would have to prove to them that he was conservative, that he wasn&#8217;t a nutcase, that he could in fact fulfill his promises to be presidential. They didn&#8217;t. Now they&#8217;re passengers on the Trump Train, and it&#8217;s headed for Eastwood Ravine.
Top Republicans now have the look of existential angst that once graced the countenances of Chris Christie and Ben Carson. Christie, for one, has learned to live with his new status as Trump flunkey: as Renfield to Trump&#8217;s Dracula, he&#8217;ll keep serving the master so long as Trump feeds him spiders to replenish his life force. So today, Christie <a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/chris-christie-trump-not-racist-223994">pulled a Lady Gaga</a> and celebrated Donald Trump&#8217;s right to express himself: &#8220;Those are Donald&#8217;s opinions. And he has a right to express them, the same way anybody else has the right to express their views regarding how they&#8217;re treated in the civil or criminal courts in this country. That&#8217;s part of what free speech is about.&#8221; He then called Trump &#8220;refreshing&#8221; and added, &#8220;I think you all are paying much too much attention on this.&#8221;
Newt Gingrich, yet another Trump Igor, is <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/06/06/newt-gingrich-thinks-donald-trump-is-going-to-be-just-fine-thank-you-very-much/">learning to love his new overlord</a>, too. After hearing about Trump&#8217;s Curiel comments, Gingrich called them &#8220;inexcusable.&#8221; Trump then fired back by calling Gingrich&#8217;s comments &#8220;inappropriate.&#8221; Gingrich promptly bent over and screamed, &#8220;THANK YOU SIR! MAY I HAVE ANOTHER?&#8221; (His actual comment: &#8220;Trump is going to be fine as a candidate. He is learning very rapidly&#8230;.Trump&#8217;s complaints about the judge and the law firm in the Trump University case are valid and reflect a growing pattern of politicized &#8216;justice.&#8217;&#8221;)
Then there are the mixed multitude: Republicans who support Trump but have to convince themselves of that fact every morning. <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/jeffrey-lord-trump-ryan-racist_us_5756d8d6e4b07823f9514271?hnlzeg62f4gy9o1or=">Speaker of the House Paul Ryan</a>, who declared his support for Trump late last week, said, &#8220;Claiming a person can&#8217;t do their job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment. I think that should be absolutely disavowed. It&#8217;s absolutely unacceptable.&#8221;
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, too, came out against Trump&#8217;s comments but refused to call them racist. He added, &#8220;I think the bad news is that he needs to have a full understanding of what he can and can&#8217;t do. We don&#8217;t have dictators in this country.&#8221; He said of Trump&#8217;s attacks on Curiel, &#8220;We don&#8217;t do that sort of thing in America.&#8221;
All of that earned Ryan and McConnell the scorn of one Jeffrey Lord, Official Trump Avatar. Lord said, &#8220;Speaker Ryan is wrong and Speaker Ryan has apparently switched position and is now supporting identity politics, which is racist&#8230;The Republican establishment is playing this.&#8221; He then impugned McConnell, too.
That isn&#8217;t stopping the rhetorical exodus away from Trump&#8217;s campaign. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), who just last week came out and said he&#8217;d speak for Trump at the Republican National Convention, <a href="http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/rubio-wont-speak-on-behalf-of-trump-at-gop-convention/article/2593150#.V1YQZSX2c99.twitter">has now backed off</a>: &#8220;I&#8217;ve never said I would stand and speak on behalf of someone else&#8217;s agenda. I would speak about the things I believe in, not somebody else&#8217;s platform or on behalf of anyone else for that matter.&#8221; Senator Bob Corker (R-TN), who has been widely discussed as a possible Trump VP pick, said that he didn&#8217;t condone Trump&#8217;s comments and that Trump would have to change: &#8220;To say that somebody because of their background or their ethnicity has &#8211; doesn&#8217;t have the ability to carry something out is wrong.&#8221;
None of this will change Trump, however.
Trump has already told his campaign surrogates, in a leaked phone call, that they ought to attack Curiel directly. This fits the Trump pattern: always attack. There&#8217;s a reason a Trump surrogate reportedly called up David French&#8217;s wife to threaten her after Trump found out that French was <a href="https://twitter.com/politico/status/740148306848976901">considering a third party run</a>.
And while we&#8217;re seeing a temporary respite of sanity from some Republicans, they&#8217;ll be back to pressuring the rest of us to jump behind Trump soon enough. Our very unwillingness to back Trump sticks in their craw; it&#8217;s a direct repudiation of their morally obtuse argument that Trump won&#8217;t damage conservatism if they consolidate behind him.
Hence the words of Trump&#8217;s shinebox specialist, Mike Huckabee, who told Sean Hannity that <a href="http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/mike-huckabee-republican-establishment-spanked/2016/06/06/id/732582/">the Republican establishment</a> &#8220;need to be happy they&#8217;re only getting spanked and not executed.&#8221; And hence the Republican outrage at Senator Ben Sasse (R-NE), who has openly refused to back Donald Trump. Politico reports today:
<blockquote>
The blowback started in earnest in May at a state Republican convention, with the passage of a resolution seen as a clear rebuke of Sasse. It stated that the state party would not support any Republican officeholder who opposes the GOP presidential nominee or advocates a third-party candidate&#8230;.Sasse&#8217;s anti-Trump mission is infuriating many Nebraska Republicans, who view it not only as self-serving but a boon to Hillary Clinton. Others privately wonder whether there is substance behind Sasse&#8217;s lofty language and question whether his meteoric rise has perhaps left him in over his head&#8230;.He is also increasingly a no-show at Republican Party lunches, even as he keeps up his social media presence. The prevailing view among Senate Republicans is that Sasse is preparing to run for president, and sooner rather than later.
</blockquote>
Politico <a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/senate-sasse-ben-223886">goes on to complain</a> that Sasse isn&#8217;t spending enough time naming Post Offices.
Yes, Sasse will become an outsider because he&#8217;s not willing to clamber aboard the Trump bandwagon, just as Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) became an outsider because he was unwilling to go along with McConnell&#8217;s refusal to use the power of the purse to stop the Obama agenda.
This will be the give-and-take of the Trump campaign: Republicans driven away from Trump by his definitional unfitness, reluctantly returning to Trump out of a feeling of necessity, swinging behind Trump enthusiastically in order to justify their support, and then pressuring other Republicans to do the same and getting angry when they don&#8217;t.
In the end, the only thing that will matter is who kept standing by Trump when he alienated every possible constituency in American life, and who stood by principle instead.

GOP Struggles With Supporting Trump, Simultaneously Screams That Everybody MUST Support Trump

Mitch McConnell

Paul Ryan

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, who was never a factor in the 2016 presidential race, prompted a flurry of immediate responses on Thursday when he blasted those in the GOP who don&#8217;t support Donald Trump, telling them to leave the party.
As Mediaite <a href="http://www.mediaite.com/online/huckabee-rips-nevertrump-if-youre-not-going-to-support-voters-choice-leave-the-gop/">reported</a>, on Thursday Huckabee offered on Fox&#8217;s America&#8217;s Newsroom: &#8220;When we nominated people over the past several election cycles, some of us had heartburn, but we stepped up and supported the nominee.&#8221; Huckabee told those who wouldn&#8217;t support Trump to leave the party, &#8220;This isn&#8217;t Burger King. This is an election. And you don&#8217;t get it all the time just like you want it. You&#8217;re either on the team, or you&#8217;re not on the team.&#8221;
On Wednesday, Huckabee had <a href="http://www.mikehuckabee.com/news?ID=d3549cc3-c06d-49dd-9e64-f8f06fd388c1">ripped</a> Never Trumpers, stating, &#8220;The dirty little secret is that the Never Trump movement was more about providing high dollar work for the political consultants than stopping the disaster of an Obama third term which is the result of electing Hillary Clinton.&#8221;
Huckabee also hilariously claimed, &#8220;We will go to Cleveland with a presumptive nominee, and we will realize that whatever squabbles we have among people in the GOP, it&#8217;s nothing compared to the chasm between us and the socialist, big government approach of the Democrats.&#8221;
That was before Trump said he&#8217;d consider raising the minimum wage to $15 to join with his other big government positions.
But on Thursday, after Huckabee told Never Trumpers to leave, response came fast and furious, as Twitter came alive with responses:
