Mike Huckabee is standing up for what he believes in, no matter the backlash that has accompanied those beliefs. Earlier this year, the Presidential hopeful took to the stage at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention and made his transgender views very well known. Referring to anyone who believes him or herself to be a member of the opposite gender as a national “threat,” Huckabee then mocked the seriousness of these individuals. Mike Huckabee Slams Transgenders “I wish that someone told me that when I was in high school that I could have felt like a woman when it came time to take showers,” the Republican joked. On Friday, speaking to radio host Steve Deace, the politician was asked about the comments he made four months ago and whether the media’s focus on Caitlyn Jenner is an example of “misplaced priorities.” Yes, absolutely, Huckabee said, adding: “I take nothing back from that speech. I’m kind of glad it’s posted because people, if they watch the whole clip, what they’re going to see is that I’m giving a commonsense answer to the insanity that’s going on out there.” You can watch the video above for yourself to determine if this is true. “Everybody wants to be politically correct, everybody wants to be loved by the media and loved by the left and loved by the elitists,” the ordained South Baptist minister continued. “I know I’m not going to be, so let’s just get it over with. I’d rather be a commonsense candidate for people who did take their brains to work today.” Huckabee also made headlines recently when he stood up for admitted child molester Josh Duggar.
