Kim Davis’ BFF and 2016 GOP presidential hopeless Mike Huckabee recently sat down with CNBC to talk about an issue he cares very deeply about: The Duggar family.
Huckabee is a longtime friend of the Duggars. When asked if he still supported the family after their oldest son Josh admitted to molesting two of his sisters, cheating on his wife, and bailing on sex rehab earlier this year, Huckabee said he sure did!
“Out of 19 kids, as far as we know, 18 have turned out pretty darn well,” Huckabee explained. “So that’s a pretty good percentage.”

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Look, I’m not going to defend anything of Josh,” he continued, “but I don’t think you can disparage the entire family because one of the members did some pretty bad things.”
When asked if he himself has ever disparaged people, Huckabee was quick to say he never has. He treats everyone with kindness, fairness and respect.
“I don’t think I have disparaged people,” he said. “I feel like I’ve held to a very consistent Biblical standard of marriage. Again, I remind you, the same standard of marriage that not only Barrack Obama, but Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, they all had it.”

In the past, Huckabee has called same-sex marriage an “unholy pretzel,” compared gay people to drug addicts, and made transphobic jokes in public.
Huckabee continued: “It’s just that I still hold the position they’ve held. They changed their mind, they’ve gotten, I’m sure, a lot of wonderful and generous donors as a result of it.”
According to the most recent Republican primary polling, Huckabee is currently sitting in seventh place at 3.5 percent and last quarter he spent $100,000 more on his 2016 presidential campaign than he actully raised in donations.

What’s his idea of a compliment then?

It was exactly the same with the Mormons during the Prop 8 debacle. They wanted to BE bigots, they just got outraged if anybody called them that.

Where are all the Log Cabiners to come on here and try to deflect the topic and scream about some pantsuit that Hillary wore 6 years ago?
Come on guys, please feel free to come in and tell us why Log Cabin feels that somebody like Huckabee would be so much better for LGBT’s than any of the Democrats running

â??Out of 19 kids, as far as we know, 18 have turned out pretty darn well,â? Huckabee explained. â??So thatâ??s a pretty good percentage.â? OMG!!!!!!! That would be fucking hysterically funny if it wasn’t so fucking stupid and tragic!!! Someone tackle this guy and make him stop!

#bitchplease. You were never a good Christian, lying will send you straight to hell.

Counting down til Huckleberry is OUT of the GOP running. Oh, I do hope the actual Christian voters are seeing through all the Rethug candidates’ lies and hypocrisies

“Out of 19 kids, as far as we know, 18 have turned out pretty darn well,” Huckabee explained. “So that’s a pretty good percentage.”
He then went on to explain that “Out of 19 Republican presidential candidates, only one is a religious bigot.” He then realized that wasn’t entirely true.
He then said, “only one is a chickenhawk warmonger draftdodger”. But he realized that wasn’t true either.
“Only one is a failed buiness-person”, but Trump and Fiorina nervously cleared their throats.
“Well only one is a pediatric neurosurgeon that has apparently performed a lobotomy on himself!”
“Only one has a war criminal brother that presided over the worst attack ever on America!”
“And only one is named after the ‘lube and fecal matter byproduct’ of anal sex.”
Dave Russo
WHAT!????
Loyd Hawkins
So Huckabee is adding bald faced liar to his list of accomplishments in life. What a shining example of what a good “Christian” should be.

I’m not sure who Huckabee thinks he’s fooling because he has made it abundantly clear how he feels about gay people. As far as the Duggars I disparage them because it is ridiculous to have 19 children that the state would have to pay for if not for the large group of people leading empty lives that think watching their show is entertaining. Now that Josh has been exposed I have some more good news for the Duggars because if they think all 19 kids are straight they’re even crazier than they look. I predict the mother will kill any of their kids who tries to come out because the paycheck is more important and they don’t want to lose friends like Huckabee!!!! He’ll be out of this race pretty soon and I hope media outlets recognize that he has nothing to say.

Where are all the gay republicans to come out and applaud Mike Huckabee? Where is Alistair and O-douchebag-codone.

@Cam: Gay repuggers love the republican party because they think it’s better for their checkbook (total line of crap thinking).
@aliengod: So why support the republican party when they all think that way?
Cam
@Giancarlo85: said… “@Cam: Gay repuggers love the republican party because they think it’s better for their checkbook (total line of crap thinking).”

You know, I disagree on that point. I think all of the gay GOPers who thought that way have left. Log Cabin and the Gay GOP vote used to be MUCH larger. So there were a lot of people who felt that way who have left now that the party has gone ten ways of Crazy.
The ones that are left I think are either incredibly self hating, or are those weirdly desperate for attention people that will always take a contrary opinion on any issue under the misguided notion that this somehow makes them a unique person.
Sorry Log Cabin, Screaming out that you love Micheele Bachman in a gay bar doesn’t mean you are unique, it just means that you hate yourself.

@Cam: Well it’s not even a good line of thinking anyways. Conservatives are never good for the economy…

Who has time to sit around and respond, over and over again to practically every single post on Queerty? Giancarla85 does. There a two possible explanations for this. Either she is a Queerty editor (or somehow employed by the website) or she needs to get a life. BB, do you have a career, school, a BF or at least some old guy who pays you for a BJ once in a while? Seriously, feed the dog, call your mother, go to the mall, take the garbage out, take up scrapbooking or something, but AT LEAST GET SOMETHING ELSE TO DO DURING THE DAY, because it’s starting to look strange that you have multiple, multiple posts on every single story every single day. I’m willing to give you the fact that maybe you’re disabled, perhaps in a wheelchair, maybe confined in jail and this is all you have going on. And, that’s okay. But if you’re a normal guy, then it’s time to close the computer and move on because not only is it overwhelmingly weird that you monopolize the comments section of every story, but the entire website has giancarla fatigue. You are hateful, negative, spiteful, trivial, petty and small. ENOUGH OF YOU IS ENOUGH. People just don’t want to hear from you every single day over and over and over again. God. Get a life girl.
Kangol
Huckabee, you’re fooling no one. You are a seething volcano of hatefulness and idiocy.
Please just go away with your pedophile-protecting Duggar pals and leave the rest of us alone!
Oh, and Mike, and it’s BARACK, not “Barrack [sic]” Obama. DUH!
Joe
Are you kidding me Huckabee? Your’re a homophone and displayed it many times over. Go fuck yourself bigot.

@o.codone: He copy and pastes his stupid reply… obviously he is the one with a lot of time on his hand. O.codone is a cancer on here and everyone wants him gone. He’s a loser with no life and a habitual drug habit.
