While journalists were waiting for President Trump to make a statement on the violence in Charlottesville, Va., Mike Huckabee issued a tweet of his own that, for a change, inspired praise instead of groans.
"White supremacy" crap is worst kind of racism-it's EVIL and perversion of God's truth to ever think our Creator values some above others.

Plenty were surprised to find themselves agreeing with Huckabee.
For once I can completely endorse a Mike Huckabee tweet. https://t.co/99pm0iwWoW

I may disagree with a lot of Mike Huckabee's policies and stances, but he is spot on here. THIS is how you condemn today's events. https://t.co/kCHdl6Oa2k

Still, there’s always room for hate where Huckabee is involved.
The real truth is, if they were marching in hoods, @GovMikeHuckabee would be under one of them. This is textbook Southern Baptist hypocrisy. https://t.co/fy7M7oVaDK
