Huckabee asks Pelosi if she's 'racist or just dumb' after Carson remarks

[spanone]

fuck you mike.

Washington (CNN)Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee slammed House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi for her comments on the decision to tap Ben Carson as head of Housing and Urban Development, asking if she is "racist or just dumb?"

Huckabee, who became a Trump surrogate after he dropped out of the 2016 Republican primary, tweeted on Monday, "Ben Carson is first HUD Sec to have actually lived in gov't housing. Fancy Nancy Pelosi says he's not qualified; is she racist or just dumb?"

A spokesman for Pelosi told CNN on Monday that "name-calling" is "beneath" Huckabee.

"This nomination is universally viewed as bizarre and the nominee is clearly unqualified. Name calling like this is beneath the dignity of even Governor Huckabee," Drew Hammill told CNN in an email.

[Motley13]

3. Mikey is both racist AND dumb

[irisblue]

4. I can go with F you Mike

So fuck you Mike...go away and eat fried stuff elsewhere.

5. Name one qualification, Hucklenuts.

The Carson nomination will prove to be yet another embarrassment for the Rightwing dopes.

28. Huckster is as dumb as Reagan was

Go on a diet Huckabee!

[Cha]

6. Doesn't make him qualified asshole.

[Solly Mack]

7. Damn

[TheBlackAdder]

8. Alan West has been on the public dole or on socialist payroll almost all his life--more qualified.

9. having lived in public housing as a kid

you'd think Carson would be sympathetic.

Somehow, I don't think so.

[Lotusflower70]

11. Immense disdain

He has a great deal of disdain for poor and minorities. In numerous interviews he has stated that the government should not help them.

[COLGATE4]

35. It's now coming out that 'he lived in public housing as a kid'

is just typical Rethug bullshit. Carson's closest adviser tells the press that Carson never lived in public housing.

[TheCowsCameHome]

10. Surprised he didn't call Carson a slacker for using govt. housing.

n/t

[Vinca]

12. Pretty sad if living in a house is the only prerequisite for the job.

Why wasn't he nominated for Surgeon General? Why HUD? It doesn't make any sense at all. I sure as hell hope we are never in a "designated survivor" situation.

[golfguru]

30. HUD staff is like 1000 times bigger than SG?

[3catwoman3]

31. If John Huntsman were to be...

...Secretary of State, such a scenario would be tempting if the ones ahead of him all got wiped out.

[lpbk2713]

13. I can start up my car and drive it cross country if I want to.

But that doesn't mean I can take it apart and put it back together again. Having lived in public housing will not make Carson the right choice for that position.

14. beneath the dignity of EVEN Governor Huckabee

"This nomination is universally viewed as bizarre and the nominee is clearly unqualified. Name calling like this is beneath the dignity of even Governor Huckabee," Drew Hammill told CNN in an email.

[ProfessorGAC]

39. I Caught That Too, Buddy

Including the word "even" in that phrase is a solid shot to the chops.

[ehrnst]

15. As Triumph the Comic Insult Dog once said to Huckabee:

"Aren't you just a Macy's Day parade version of Kevin Spacey>"

He wishes.

[Initech]

22. Lol!

Love Triumph The Insult Comic Dog! To call Mike Huckabee a pig is an insult to pigs.

[rgbecker]

16. Apparently, Carson never lived in Gov't housing. Just saying.

Correction: December 5, 2016

An earlier version of this article, relying on information from Armstrong Williams, a close friend of Ben Carson, misstated a part of Mr. Carson’s childhood.

Mr. Williams said Monday that Mr. Carson had never lived in government housing.

17. these people are despicable......

fuckabee

[blogslut]

23. This

I wonder why Huckabee assumed Carson once lived in public housing? Who is the racist?

[treestar]

18. Hilarious how they accuse people of

"playing the race card" when they do it any chance they have.

[Thor_MN]

19. GOP SOP. Accuse others of what you are guilty of.

[roamer65]

20. Suckabee gives me an urge to go buy 2x4's.

I can't quite figure out why.

[Initech]

21. He's one to talk!

[AgadorSparticus]

24. How very "christian" of him...though, not surprising.

[mountain grammy]

25. Huckabee's a pig.

[spanone]

27. no kidding...what's this 'fancy nancy' shit?

fuckabee

[mountain grammy]

29. They're all creepy and disgusting,

and phony, Republicans. That's the worst part. They might as well be robots.

[liberal N proud]

26. They will attack Pelosi just like the did Hillary

[3catwoman3]

32. Racist or dumb?

No, Mikey, that would be YOU. And the conjunction would be "and".

[.99center]

33. Why would Huckabee assume that Carson lived in gov't housing?

These clowns can't even project properly, they always seem to end up spewing even more racism in the process.

[lonestarnot]

34. You double jawed nit picker. Go pick your crabs. You cannot defend sleepy for his having slept in

a fucking government house as experience to run one of the largest government agency. Idjit! Maybe in your nutjob book that qualifies him. Does shitting in a government house qualify one to run nation's sewage?

[TheDebbieDee]

36. HUD does a helluva lot more than manage low-income housing...

When I worked there in the early 90s, HUD was the ONLY government agency that made more $ than it spent! I'm going to do a little research on HUD and get caught up on the 23 years that I've missed...

[Warren DeMontague]

37. How dumb? Like "the pyramids were built by Joseph to store grain" dumb?

Cuz thats pretty dumb.

[malaise]

38. Oops

He did not grow up in public housing - Fuckabee is wrong as usual
