The "Joe Davis look"-Kim(eh)'s #2 & #4- on Twitter

Mike Huckabee is willing to go to jail in place of #KimDavis or become a scarecrow in place of her husband.#ImWithKim

About Kim Davis' husband's attire today: I've lived in KY my whole life. I grew up in Eastern KY. No one dresses like that. No one.

From Raw Story
Mike Huckabee and Kim Davis’ overalls-clad husband get the Twitter treatment — and it’s hilarious

We found a nice little independent breakfast restaurant that served country style breakfast ...

Our second visit, we watched as three men, dressed in nothing but dirty coveralls and t shirts emerged from the parking lot ...

It was as if they descended from the hills and through the open field behind the parking lot that very moment ...

I'm sure they were nice people ... I just didn't expect them to reflect the traditional stereotypes so convincingly .... Bona fide mountain men .. straight from the hills ....

Needless to say, the Ozarks was not the proper setting for a Liberal Atheist from the NYC area ... I could not leave fast enough ...

and either way, WTF?

Also, I found the press conference/victory party disturbing. I used to have a soft spot for Huckabee because he didn't trash the poor but he's become Trump. Anything to get on the news. He knows he can't win the presidency by picking this as his issue so its just about face time.

Has the whole damned world gonemad?

new pair of overalls and white shirt. But then, they were born in the 1880's. (Our family has longevity. My great aunt Sadie came west on the Oregon trail.) Love ya, Aunt Sadie, Uncle Guy and Uncle Frank.

today in the fields. But a true farmer would NEVER wear them to this kind of situation. They were common wear back in the 40s but soon after that levis became the usual.

When I saw her husband walk onto the stage I knew for sure that this was all a rw set-up. Anyone know what husband #4 does for a living? I assume he wants us to think he is a farmer.

then I started laughing. Really? Do you take your audience your wife's supporters with that much disdain? Not from the 'I know he owns a suit' - he, or someone, thought "well this is what they've come to see". Amazing.

As noted above this looks like more than pandering. That was all set up but it appears more like mocking their own audience.
