A top conservative leader criticized former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) for tweeting out a picture of gang members, saying they were House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) “campaign committee.”
Bob Vander Plaats, the president and CEO of Iowan conservative group The Family Leader, chastised the former governor on Saturday.
“Where did my friend and pastor @GovMikeHuckabee go?” Vander Plaats tweeted. “I want him back. I’ll assume someone hijacked his twitter account.”
“He’s way better than this!” He added.
Vander Plaats was responding to a tweet from Huckabee on Saturday appearing to link Pelosi with gang members.
“Nancy Pelosi introduces her campaign committee for the take back of the House,” he wrote.He accompanied the tweet with a picture of a group of tattooed men holding up gang signs.
The photo shows members of the gang Mara 18 in San Salvador and was taken by Franco-Spanish photojournalists Christian Poveda.
Poveda was murdered in September 2009 and gang members were convicted of the crime in 2011.

Your friend got “woke” to the fact that this is now a knife-fight in a phone booth for the future of humanity. If America falls to Progressivism (which is Communism-lite at its best, and appears to be full-blown totalitarianism today), then the world falls and humanity is in chains to the global elite.

Has Pelosi DENIED that her staff consists of MS-13 types?
I doubt it - therefore only one conclusion.

Vandersplaat can KMA. I think Gov. Huckabee is right on the mark. Knows his recent history.

Come on, Bob. YOU”RE better than this. If you have a complaint against your “friend,” then speak to him in private about it. A true friend does not need to tell the whole world what’s wrong with his friend.

The only people I see having a real problem with the photo are those running Mr. Poveda’s estate.

Bob Vander Plaats isn’t as conservative as he thinks.
