Huckabee's Joke About Sanders, Dog-Eating Backfires

Donald Trump wasn't the only Republican candidate live-tweeting Tuesday night's Democratic debate. Mike Huckabee was likewise frolicking on Twitter, though he might be regretting his decision in the light of day, reports NBC News. "Racism exists because we have a sin problem in America, not a skin problem," Huckabee tweeted at one point. Then he followed up with this: "I trust @BernieSanders with my tax dollars like I trust a North Korean chef with my labrador!" After fierce backlash from users who said he was perpetuating a racist stereotype, he later added, "Poor liberals think it's racist to deplore a brutal dictatorship." (More Mike Huckabee stories.)
