Not only is former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) not apologizing for saying Democrats think women can’t control their reproductive system without the help of the government, he’s fundraising off those comments.
“I am apparently the worst conservative ever or at least the most annoying one according to the left wingers in Washington today,” Huckabee wrote in his regular MikeHuckabee.com email to supporters Thursday night. “My remarks to the RNC today were immediately jumped on and blown sky high by hand-wringing, card carrying liberals from coast to coast, some of them in the media.”
The email came hours after the former Arkansas governor, during a speech at the Republican National Committee’s winter meeting, said Democrats “insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control, because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government.”
In the email Huckabee also asks for donations to his political action committee so his critics can look at the committee’s fundraising and “say see we told you so.”
“Guess what liberals? If you can’t stand to look at yourself in the mirror, then get ready for more of this talk, because conservatives are going to continue to fight back against your destructive policies towards women and families,” Huckabee continued in the email.
