Former radio host and quickly to be publisher Mike Huckabee regarded on Fox News Sunday and advised host Chris Wallace that the views on homosexuality expressed via suspended Duck Dynasty famous person Phil Robertson had been the identical as these expressed through then-candidate Barack Obama in 2008 on same-intercourse marriage.

“There’s a new stage of bullying on the a part of these militant activist groups,” Huckabee stated. “If any individual says something that holds to the identical place that Barack Obama held in 2008, when he used to be at the Saddleback Church with John McCain—[he] made it clear very clear that he opposed same intercourse marriage, and he stated he did so as a result of he was once a Christian and because of his biblical views. Well, if that position used to be ok in 2008, how come it isn’t ok in 2013, or 2014?”

Wallace found this hard to purchase. “It isn’t just the truth that Phil Robertson mentioned that he disagreed with it and felt it was once a sin,” Wallace mentioned, and reiterated Robertson’s comments, which additionally included remarks about how happy African-American citizens have been during the Jim Crow technology. “Are you now not offended with the aid of any of that?” Wallace asked. “No longer the substance, but the way he expressed it?”

“He said it in a technique that will most certainly be extra acceptable for the duck woods than the pages of an incredible information journal,” Huckabee said. “However this issue used to be by no means about those comments. This issue was particularly about GLAAD and the Human Rights Campaign protesting to A&E over his feedback concerning same-intercourse relationships.”
