Former Arkansas governor and Donald Trump surrogate Mike Huckabee called the Republican nominee a “car wreck” on Friday morning.

“Trump may be a car wreck, but at least his car is pointed in right direction,” Huckabee wrote in a tweet. “Hillary is a drunk-driver going the wrong way on the freeway.”

Huckabee, who is known for his tortured Twitter analogies, endorsed the business mogul in May after his own bid for the White House failed. His daughter Sarah serves as a senior advisor to the Trump campaign and frequently appears on cable news on Trump’s behalf.

The former Arkansas governor has heaped criticism on Republicans who have declined to back the GOP nominee and defended him from questions about his support from white supremacists and call to ban Muslim immigrants from the U.S.

  1. I’ve heard people talking about a story that Mike Huckabee had a years-long sexual relationship with his daughter, Sarah. People are talking about it – so, according to Kellyanne Conway, it is a fact.

    OT, sorta Huckabee-related. I read a blurb in the news yesterday that Anna Duggar is filing for divorce from Josh, Mike Huckabee’s BFF.

  2. Grifters gotta stick together and defend each other.
    Otherwise, the ENTIRE SCAM falls apart and they will all be exposed as the asshats they are.

  3. I don’t heart huckabees. Generations from now, political historians will pinpoint the moment when the Reaganite fashion became as passe and ridiculous as Spandex.to Mike Huckabee’s rise to becoming a spokesperson for the Goober demographic.

    And in BREAKING NEWS, this stunning development: Susan Sarandon has endorsed Jill Stein!!!

  4. LOL!! I’m done with Susan Sarandon. As much as I like her acting abilities, I cannot in good conscience support such a person anymore.

  5. Another patented Huckster Analogy™.
