Huckabee, a Baptist pastor and Republican presidential candidate, plans to host a rally in county clerk Kim Davis' honor after the private meeting outside the Carter County Detention Center.
'Having Kim Davis in federal custody removes all doubt of the criminalization of Christianity in our country,' Huckabee said in a statement issued Friday. 'What a world, where Hillary Clinton isn't in jail but Kim Davis is.'"
eye'm thynkin': By all means, hold a rally to support a woman who defies federal law. Glorifying civil disobedience is oh so presidential these days. And, gee, Mike, nice segue into GOP candidate territory with that dig at Hillary Clinton. Remind me, what law did Hillary defy again?
