He didn’t say it. He asked a question. He’d already made it clear that he wasn’t going to evaluate Mormonism before the reporter baited him into what he thought was an off-the-record side discussion.
Even if Governor Huckabee had been crooked enough to say one thing and do another, he’s clearly not naive enough to have believed he could get away with it.

At least he exited on this quickly.
