Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee assured viewers during an appearance on Monday’s episode of “Morning Joe” on MSNBC that he “never stabbed anybody.”

“I will go on record today and tell you this, Mika: I never hit my mother with a hammer and I never stabbed anybody,” Huckabee said. “Never wrote about it either.”

Huckabee has written a dozen books and each has been “put under incredible scrutiny,” he said.

The Republican presidential candidate said the vetting process for candidates is “a brutal process.”

And to Carson regarding his current media scrutiny, he said, “Pal, you ain’t seen nothing yet.”
