Mike Huckabee is a liar. He granted clemency to a dangerous criminal, but wants us to believe everyone would have acted the same way. Huckabee's efforts to shift blame away from himself includes a total fabrication of Maurice Clemmons' extensive criminal history.

now on fox and friends he is saying how if this was a white man he would not have got the same sentence and he would let him out again.
Why anyone would have ever voted for this buffoon is beyond me.
he was a fraud then and is still one along with being a religious socialist.
He also wanted to make all illegals legal because in his eyes it is the Christian thing to do.
No it is not, Fed up of hearing how Christians should be all wishy washy and Jesus was a wimp crap.
the man is a fraud and a liar who is now twisting this to get himself out of it.
Facts do not lie and the truth is coming out.
I’m just surprised anyone even bothered voting for him or got took in by him because of what???
Because he had a religious background so some thought they should vote for him.
ARF
He never stood a chance to win
I just woke up (late nite). What is CFR?
Every Christian who is involved in politics might do well to read Chuck Colson’s “Kingdoms in Conflict,” where he demonstrates the foolishness of voting for a President just because he’s a Christian.
I am an evangelical conservative as well.
I’ll read that thank you
No, he’s not lying. The kid was 16 at the time of the crimes, which is what Huckabee said.
>>I don’t think, for instance, that the media have investigated whether the 1000 other people he paroled have since carried out felonies that - Willie Horton-style - did not involve killing people.
_______________________________________________
I refer you to the following for some enlightenment.
Please note that some of his attempts at even more clemencies were blocked by various sources, including the parole board & public outcry.
In this context, I assumed CFR meant “Council on Foreign Relations”.
He was 16 when he committed the original crime, 17 when he committed the rest of them.
Weirdly enough, apart from Clemons and Dumond, the list of re-offenders is short, and their offenses trivial compared to Willie Horton. Of course, the dynamic duo more than made up the difference (between what Huck and Dukakis wrought with their parole policies).
NO HE WAS NOT!! HE WAS 17! Did you bother to read the article? Obviously not.
Clemmons was born in February 1972. All of his crimes, except when he beat up & robbed a 7th grader, happened after March 1989, making him 17.
He was 18 during his violent courtroom episodes.
