Mike Huckabee said Wednesday that he turned down President-elect Donald Trump’s request that he take a place in his cabinet, and blasted the idea of making Mitt Romney the next secretary of state.

‘I’m not talking about what it was,’ the former Arkansas governor said on the ‘Fox & Friends’ program. ‘I was offered a cabinet slot. I didn’t think it was a great fit for me.’

Huckabee, a 61-year-old Baptist minister and former Fox News Channel host, also clobbered Romney in no uncertain terms.

‘It’s not about that I don’t care for Mitt personally. But I’m still very unhappy that Mitt did everything he could to derail Donald Trump,’ he said, painting the 2012 Republican presidential nominee as disloyal and wildly unpopular among Trump’s electoral base.

‘He didn’t just go after him from the standpoint of “I disagree with his policy on immigration, I disagree with his policy on taxes.” He attacked him on a personal level about his character, integrity, his honor.’
