Potential GOP presidential candidate and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) criticized women who curse in the workplace as being “just trashy” during a recent radio interview, ThinkProgress reported Tuesday.
Huckabee was discussing his trouble adapting to the “hotbed of the New York culture” on Friday during an interview on the Des Moines-based “Mickelson in the Morning” show.
Until January, Huckabee had commuted to Manhattan to host a weekly Fox News talk show, and he said that working in New York City was like visiting “a different planet.”
“In the South, in the Midwest, here in Iowa, you would not have people who would just throw the f-bomb and use gratuitous profanity in a professional setting,” Huckabee said. “In New York, not only do the men do it, but the women do it!”
“This would be considered totally inappropriate to say these things in front of a woman,” he added. “And for a woman to say them in a professional setting — we would only assume that this is a very — as we would say in the South, that’s just trashy!”

OK enough! now he is just acting stupid on purpose!
Horseshit. He’s from Arkansas.
As a woman who doesn’t comment often, I say, "Fuck you, Huckabee!!! And I’m not even from NY.
It’s amazing to me that he’s ok with guns but not some stout swear words. I’d rather have a “trashy woman” than a woman with a gun at my workplace any day.
As a woman living in the mid-south, let me just say, “Go fuck yourself, Huckabee!” Some of the best cussing I’ve ever heard has been from Southern women.
