Huckabee brings "wholesome" book tour to disgraced televangelist and felon Jim Bakker's show

Yeah, a much better role model than that scary black Beyonce!


Where the two are in total agreement in comparing the U.S. to Nazi Germany and claiming Phil Robertson is a persecuted "Christian" for his views on gays and Jim Crow:


In an episode of disgraced televangelist Jim Bakker’s television show that was posted online today, Mike Huckabee chatted with Bakker about his potential presidential campaign and his new book “Gods, Guns, Grits and Gravy,” which, among other things, discusses the supposed persecution of Christians in the U.S.

Huckabee pointed to Phil Robertson’s temporary suspension from “Duck Dynasty” following his notorious comments about homosexuality and Jim Crow as proof that Christians are now victims of intolerance. Bakker is so worried about anti-Christian animus that he even tied the plight of Christians in America to Nazi Germany’s anti-Jewish persecution: “If we all took a stand just like the Robertson family did, they can’t put us all in jail at the same time, unless they did something like they did to the Jews.”

and it looks like the Huckster has the backing for 2016 of inmate #07407-058 and the guy who allegedly raped Jessica Hahn. Huck's plans for the White House were greeted with shouts of "Yes!" and "Hallelujah!" from Bakker:

Bakker was so impressed by the book that he claimed to have studied it like the Bible and practically begged Huckabee to run for president. Bakker led the audience in cheers while shouting “hallelujah” after Huckabee said that he ended his Fox News program in order to explore a possible presidential candidacy, which prompted Huckabee to declare that he ought to “launch the entire campaign” on Bakker’s show.

But I'm sure, in the Huckster's eyes, Bakker was just an innocent victim of the anti-Christian Nazi lib'rul conspiracy, and folks should start sending him money again
