Huckabee: Hate Groups Won’t Endorse Me Because They Know I’ll Put Them Out Of Business [AUDIO]

Yesterday Mike Huckbee told Todd Starnes that right wing groups won’t endorse him because they know he’ll totally stop abortion and gay marriage and then they won’t be able to raise money. Right Wing Watch has the quote and the audio:

“As I’ve often said, ‘I don’t go to them, I come from them,’ but because of that I do understand them. And a lot of them, quite frankly, I think they’re scared to death that if a guy like me got elected, I would actually do what I said I would do, and that is I would focus on the personhood of every individual, we would abolish abortion based on the Fifth and 14th Amendment, we would ignore the Supreme Court’s same-sex marriage decision. And you know what the result would be?

A lot of these organizations wouldn’t have the ability to do urgent fundraising because if we slay the dragon, what dragon do they continue to fight? And so, for many of them, it could be a real detriment to their organization’s abilities to gin up their supporters and raise the contributions, and I know that sounds cynical but, Todd, it is what it is.”
