Friday on “Fox and Friends,” Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas said that he feels President Barack Obama should have reacted to the attacks on police officers in Dallas the same way that former president Ronald Reagan did in 1986 after the Challenger disaster. This is after Thursday evening’s sniper attacks that left five police officers dead and another seven injured.

The former presidential candidate responded to the question of what he would do in Obama’s place:
‘I think this is a time when real leaders bring people together. he doesn’t split them apart.’...

Oh, but the conservative Governor took issue with that statement and said:
‘He doesn’t need to inject the divisive arguments like gun control at a time of great grief for the nation. And he ought to do for us what Ronald Reagan did after the Challenger disaster. That’s remind us of what we have in common, not what separates us. And that’s why I’m always so frustrated. Barack Obama has such great potential to be a leader.

‘Obama should be focused on the sacrifice of police officers and solely on the police officers and the sacrifices of their family and leave all of the political discussions aside. There’s plenty of time for that. Today, there’s one thing that ought to be on the president’s mind.’

1. Just another conservative spewing shit out of his ass.

Meh.

3. Ass, mouth...one and the same with GOPers.

Suckabee doesn't hide his inner racist very well.

[rock]

22. Yes, they have only one orifice

Yet, make it do both functions!

[Rex]

2. Fuckabee is a moronic POS racist.

Nothing Obama does, is ever good enough for him. Ronald Reagan would be horrified by the violence we see today. Reagan changed his tune after HE got shot by a would be assassin.

21. Suckabee, fuckabee...you crack me up, Rex! 😂 I totally agree with you. Lol

4. These clickbait headlines are so annoying

Why can't the headline just say "Huckabee Blames Obama" rather than this stupid "Who he blames will make you angry!" nonsense.

Edit to add: Also, it should be "whom he blames"

[Matrosov]

17. I consider it lazy journalism

These days everything will make us angry, will make us cry, we won't believe what happened next, or someone gave the perfect response. Apparently proper headlines will soon be a thing of the past.

[oberliner]

18. Agreed

Lazy for sure, but also I think deliberately structured to generate more clicks.

Edit to add: "Bipartisan Report" website is teeming with ads.

23. An entire life in snapshots.

5. I am so very sick of these assholes! nt

[GReedDiamond]

6. Huckafuckabee is an asshole and...

...quite possibly, the worst bass player alive.

[GeorgeGist]

7. Why does anyone care what Huckabee thinks?

[vixengrl]

8. Interesting frame--

He sees police deaths as obviously terrible--but black deaths are just "political". Huh.

But the off-the-rails beautiful thing for me is:

And he ought to do for us what Ronald Reagan did after the Challenger disaster. That’s remind us of what we have in common, not what separates us.

Like, is there anything even divisive in mourning about the Challenger explosion in the first place? Was there a political movement saying: "Don't go up in no space shuttles, won't go down in no space shuttles"? Pretty sure that was not a thing.

I have not heard anything about Trump vetting this man for VP--he's really missing out on a gem of comingled ignorance and bigotry.

9. He seems to come off as a full blown racist republican

[Lochloosa]

11. Come off?

He is a full blown racist republican

[world wide wally]

12. Can I get an honest answer to an honest question?

Are Republicans having some kind of contest to see who is the biggest asshole?
I have yet to hear an honest response to what is going on that isn't strictly politically based.

[Thinkingabout]

13. Again an assault weapon has neen used in a mass shooting. The Republicans

Sit back when Bush was president and allowed the assault weapons ban to expire. Since then there have been many and the Republicans are fighting every effort to pass sensible laws to cease facilitating future mass murderers from obtaining a weapon for the next mass shooting.

14. Willful ignorance (NT)

[spanone]

15. fuckabee

[TeamPooka]

16. If there really is a Heaven no way Huckabee gets into it. nt

[Bluenorthwest]

19. I find this headline to be an offensive deflection of reality, Huckabee has been full stop

evil stupid for decades. To claim this is some new thing out him is a claim that could only be made by people who have forgotten Huckabee calling for 'relocation camps' for people with HIV deep into the 1990's. Alternatively, the author might know that and simply not think that was offensive because the author might agree with Huck on that one.

It's always 'this person who used to be JUST anti gay is now fully stupid by being critical of straight people too!!!!'

20. He probably says this stuff to puff himself up to make

himself look relevant. He's about as relevant as a mule drawn calistoga wagon on the Los Angeles freeway.
