Mike Huckabee (Of Course) Gets Kim Davis Question At GOP Debate


In case you missed it, there was one question that touched on LGBT issues last night at the second GOP presidential debate.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee squared off against former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush on the issue of rogue Kentucky County Clerk Kim Davis and her refusal to follow the law and issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

As part of his argument for "accommodations" for Kim Davis, Huckster pointed out that the Fort Hood shooter was allowed to grow a beard.

“We made accommodations to the Fort Hood shooter, to let him grow a beard. We made accommodations to the detainees at Gitmo. I’ve been to Gitmo and I’ve seen the accommodations that we made to the Muslim detainees who killed Americans. You’re telling me that you cannot make an accommodation for an elected Democrat county clerk from Rowan County, Kentucky? What else is it other than the criminalization of her faith and the exaltation of everyone else who might be a Fort Hood shooter or a detainee at Gitmo?”
So, he compares growing a beard - which has NO effect on anyone else's life - with a county clerk who won't allow two people who love each other to marry?

SRSLY?
