Mike Huckabee
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who’s been hovering around the middle of the poll pack in his bid for the White House, jumped directly into the jailing of Kim Davis – the Kentucky clerk who refused to grant gay wedding licenses and is now behind bars – and said Americans need to wake up to the “criminalization of Christianity” that’s coursing through the country.
In a tweet, he wrote: “Kim Davis in federal custody removes all doubts about the criminalization of Christianity in this country. We must defend #ReligiousLiberty!”
In several other Twitter messages, he said similarly.
He wrote: “We must defend #ReligiousLiberty & never surrender to judicial tyranny! FreeKimDavisNow.com #ImWithKim #KimDavis.”
And in another: “Exercising #ReligiousLiberty should never be a crime in America.”
Huckabee also posted a meme with this text over a black and white picture of Hillary Clinton: “What a world, where Hillary Clinton isn’t in jail but Kim Davis is!”
A “Free Kim David: Sign the petition” link was making waves on his Twitter page too, with more than 350 retweets and more than 400 favorites.
In a statement issued shortly after Davis was ordered to jail, Huckabee said: “Kim is asking the perfect question, ‘Under what law am I authorized to issue homosexual couples a marriage license?’ That simple quesiton is giving many in Congress a civics lesson that they never got in grade school.” He was referencing to the view the Supreme Court cannot make a law, an argument he’s been making in recent months, Talking Points Memo reported.
Huckabee also doubled down on his support for Davis.
“I stand with Kim Davis and every American of faith under attack by Washington elites who have nothing but disdain for us, our faith and the Constitution,” he said, in his statement. “Kim is a person of great conviction. When people of conviction fight for what’s right, they often pay a price, but if they don’t surrender, we will pay a far greater price for bowing to the false God of judicial supremacy.”
And one more point: “Government is not God. No man, and certainly no unelected law, has the right to redefine the laws of nature or of nature’s God,” he said.
