Huckabee: Christianity Is the Means to Achieving ‘True Racial Reconciliation’ in America [+video]

In the wake of the horrific shooting at Emmanuel African Methodist Church in Charleston, S.C., presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee said Christianity is the ultimate tool for achieving “true racial reconciliation” in America during “Meet The Press” Sunday.

CHUCK TODD: If you were president of the United States today, and we have this racially motivated massacre that took place in Charleston, but we’ve had some social unrest as well — a trust issue between African Americans and law enforcement — how would you be addressing this today, if you were president?

HUCKABEE: I think the best way to address it is the way we’ve seen from the church members at Emanuel AME Church. If you look at the pastor who was murdered, it occurs to me that here is a shepherd who laid down his life for his sheep, the greatest example of Biblical love, of Christian spirit , and when you hear the family members — as we heard in that very powerful interview earlier — it reminds us that Christianity is no this cartoon-ish, contemptible, laughable faith that people today try to marginalize.
