Huckabee goes after Willard, mentions the march with MLK that wasn't.
February 01, 2008 12:11 PM

ABC News' Kevin Chupka Reports: Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee viciously attacked the record of his presidential Republican rival Mitt Romney in Oklahoma City on Friday, calling Romney's actions "absurd" and accusing him of being a liar.

At a press conference Friday morning, Huckabee was asked to clarify comments he made on a cable news morning show the previous day in which he claimed that Romney had yet to reach "political puberty."

"I meant that on a number of issues, he had not yet discovered who he was on the second amendment – he supported Brady, he supported an assault weapon ban," Huckabee said.

He added that " was very pro-choice, supported strong positions for same sex relationships, said on television that he would do more for the gay/lesbian agenda than Ted Kennedy."

"That's pretty bold," Huckabee concluded, also mentioning how Romney had said he and his dad had marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "when he hadn't."

He continued to bash Romney's record even further: "I just think you can't have a change of opinion on fundamental issues over and over and wait until you're running for President to do it," he said. "To say that you've never thought about the origins of human life until you were nearly 60 years old, I find that hard to believe even for someone who hasn't run for office before, but certainly for somebody who had."
