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

Posted on 09/09/2015 9:44:01 AM PDT by GIdget2004

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."

Hey Huck, what is this about -— DEFENDING THE RIGHT of Kim Davis, or promoting your candidacy?

I suspect for you, it’s the latter.

Huckabee thought this was going to be the event that would catapult him to the top of the polls!

Instead, with his “put me in jail instead” lame outburst, he made himself look like a jackass.

*FAIL*

See, this is what Huckabee does. He viciously undercuts a political rival, and then feign outrage that it happens, and goes into aw-shucks mode. He’s a despicable human being.

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

Is there any wonder why Americans despise politicians?

I see the Huckster gained all of his weight back.

He looks like a whale.

Don't suspect it, know it. I'm not surprised this fat lil' bastard was the first one there. The guy hawks fake diabetes cures and cancer treatments, he's swine, a carnival barker, this was a photo op for him. Maybe he cares too but primarily it was about him. And now he whines cause people were more interested to hear from Cruz? LOL. Tough luck Huck.

How many Freepers here whined about other candidates not showing
their support for Kim?
So, when Cruz, the only other candidate who both showed support in
words and action(showing up) attended, Huckster blocked him out.

This was nothing more than a campaign event by the Huckster.
In fact, parts of it reminded me of the “Paul Wellstone Funeral Farce”

Wow, what a POS. Come to Chicago, Huck, you’d fit right in with the other gangsters.

Both Morning Joe and Fox ‘n Friends asked Huckabee about Ted Cruz this morning.

Huckabee played so dumb, I KNEW he was lying.

Damn right, the Huckster had Cruz blocked! It’s not like we’re all blind!

Huckabuck claimed Cruz showed up late, but knew nothing about the lousy treatment Cruz incurred ... (liar, liar, Huckster gave the order).

I invited him......without so much as reaching out to get permission to attend.

Much confused, I am.

You said it. Huckster is EXACTLY like Hillary Clinton, a rank opportunist, climber and EXTREMELY un-generous, turning everything into a political grandstand.

A cheap political grandstand. Complete with the sniffy nose and the eye wiping angle on full display.

Just, gag.

LOL! Haven’t watched that one in a while.

You’re right, though. And the guy yesterday with the Junior Samples bib overalls fits right in.

Good grief. If it was a private party that Huckabee had paid for at some country club or hotel it would be a different story, but this was a public venue. It seems it was all about him.

Which is it, Huckster? Did you invite him and he showed up, or did he show up and you invited him to meet with Kim?

[It would seem to be the former -- that you invited him -- since you were surprised at him showing up.]

In either case, why did your aide then block Cruz? By your own statement, Cruz was invted but your aide blocked him.
