TYT: Huckabee: Yeah I Blocked Cruz... Kim Davis Is MY Publicity Stunt

[WhoIsNumberNone]

Kim Davis, the county clerk from Kentucky who refused to provide gay marriage licenses, was recently released from prison and Mike Huckabee held a big publicity stunt/rally. His aides blocked Ted Cruz from Kim Davis and her photo ops. Huckabee explains why. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee painted fellow GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) as an unwelcome guest at a rally for Kentucky clerk Kim Davis Tuesday, admitting thathis staffer physically blocked Cruz from getting on stage.

In a Wednesday appearance on NewsMax TV's "Steve Malzberg Show" first reported by BuzzFeed's Andrew Kaczynski, Huckabee said his campaign planned the event, and he made Cruz's visit with Davis possible.

"Well, Steve, this was our event. My team put it together. We’re the ones who recruited the people not only to be on the program, but we’re the ones who coordinated the effort. We’re the ones who secured the permits, the staging," Huckabee told Malzberg. "We had no idea Ted Cruz was going to show up until the day before and he didn’t call us, he called several other people on the program and asked about it.””*

1. I wonder if Huckabee put her up to not issuing marriage licenses? I wouldn't be surprised.

2. Cenk is, as usual, right on target.

3. He would do anything to garner more votes

He can point to this and say, "see? this was our event, my event.. Ted Cruz can get his own.." and maybe he will get more votes, and maybe not. I personally hope it back fires on him and people hate him for being a "Show hog"... hogging the spot light for his advantage. Either way he looks like a jerkwad, despite the fact, I have no love for Ted Cruz either.
