Mike Huckabee Makes Sexist Wife Joke To Bash Fed Chair Janet Yellen

GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee joked about his wife being a nag and criticized Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen in one fell swoop Tuesday night.

"My wife's name is Janet," Huckabee said during the Fox Business Network undercard debate. "And when you say Janet yellin', I'm very familiar with what you mean."

Huckabee's comment came in response to a question from the moderator about whether he would keep Yellen on if he were elected president.

Huckabee added that the Fed is in "big trouble" because it hasn't addressed "the fact that wages for the bottom 90 percent of the economy have been stagnant for 40 years."

OH REALLY! Thanks for noticing!

I think we should give more money to the rich. This will fix it
