Mike Huckabee on Charleston: God Already Solved Racism [+video]

In a discussion with Fox News’ Ed Henry, [Mike] Huckabee was criticized for flip-flopping on the Confederate flag issue.

“You say voters want a leader, somebody who will stand up,” Henry noted. “A few days ago, I saw you asked right here on Fox about the Confederate flag issue down in South Carolina and you basically punted, and said it’s a state issue.”

“Is that leadership?” asked Henry.

“I didn’t punt at all,” Huckabee said. “I think we’ve missed the real point in this. When I’m asked that question as a presidential candidate, what I’m being baited for is, is South Carolina a racist state?”

“And so what I said was, Ed, as a frequent visitor to South Carolina, I look at this objectively,” he continued. “You’ve got a female governor who is of Indian descent, you have the only elected African-American U.S. senator in the South from a state of 4.8 million people, elected largely by people who are mostly white. That’s not racism.” (Read more from “Mike Huckabee on Charleston: God Already Solved Racism” HERE)
