Huckabee complains Cruz crashed his party
Politico ^ | 09/09/2015 | Daniel Strauss

Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee wants you to know the Kim Davis rally on Tuesday was his event and Sen. Ted Cruz was a last-minute addition.

"Look, I invited him to come and meet with Kim Davis. It was our event. We were kind of surprised that he showed up. But you know, once he was there, we invited him to come and meet with her. So I’m not sure what the controversy is," Huckabee said on Fox News on Wednesday morning.

"We planned, paid for, and promoted the event and Sen. Cruz showed up the day of and tried to take it over. It would have been the equivalent to us showing up at their religious liberty event in Iowa a couple weeks ago, claiming it was our event, and expecting to give the keynote speaking role," said a Huckabee aide, who refused to talk on the record about the event. "First time any of us have ever seen a presidential candidate crash another candidate's event without so much as reaching out to get permission to attend. Bizarre."

I'd say Huckabee has finally jumped the shark but I don't think he can jump.

Fortunately, Huck's performance on this “job” isn't working out so well for Jeb.

He should have welcomed Cruz - it provided support for his cause.

I couldn’t agree with you more.

That does leave one scratching his head....and when the Huckster was on stage with Ms Davis, he appeared to have scratched his bald. The shine was so bright, you had’a wear shades. Typical fat preacher man, always the opposite what iis seen on the outside compared to what is seen in the heart. Never cared for him, at all, period...Cruz is our guy!!

Ah. He didn’t “get permission to attend.”

"Look, I invited him to come and meet with Kim Davis. It was our event. We were kind of surprised that he showed up.
