Huckabee Jokes About Life-Shattering Zika Virus To Attack Clinton

Huckabee Jokes About Life-Shattering Zika Virus To Attack Clinton

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/mike-huckabee-zika-virus_us_57abc8f3e4b0ba7ed23f15c9?section=&

Zika virus is no laughing matter ― unless, apparently, you’re Mike Huckabee warming up the crowd at a Donald Trump rally.

The former Arkansas governor and failed Republican presidential candidate mocked concerns over the devastating virus so he could take a potshot at Trump’s Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, during a Wednesday evening rally for Trump in Sunrise, Florida.

“I’m a lot more afraid of a Hillary Clinton presidency than I am of getting a mosquito bite in South Florida,” Huckabee said.

Huckabee’s dismissive attitude toward the virus is not shared by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. One day earlier, a Texas infant died in the state’s first Zika-related death.
