Huckabee, Cruz Plan to Meet With Jailed Kentucky Clerk

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Sep 8, 2015, 10:02 AM ET
By DYLAN LOVAN Associated Press

Two Republican presidential candidates planned jailhouse meetings Tuesday with Kentucky clerk Kim Davis, raising her conservative-hero status as she remains behind bars over her refusal to give marriage licenses to gay couples.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz each said they would meet with Davis, who was jailed by a federal judge Thursday after defying several court orders. Her lawyers spent Labor Day weekend filing appeals in an effort to force her release, but she remains there on a contempt charge.

Huckabee, a former Baptist minister who often reaches out to religious conservatives, says Davis is simply exercising her religious freedom by denying the marriage licenses. He plans to join a rally of Davis supporters Tuesday afternoon.

Davis' jailing offers the many Republican presidential candidates an opportunity to appeal to the GOP's evangelical Christian wing, which opposes same-sex marriage and casts Davis' imprisonment as an issue of religious freedom. Not all the Republican White House hopefuls see it Huckabee's way, however.

15. I love how at the end of the day,

Crazy bitch still took the money.

Pride is SUCH my favorite Sin...so easy to fuck with, and absolutely a sign of a strong religion, but an utterly fragile (to the point of being worthless) Faith.

Fuck Huck
It's not us that put her religious freedom that's under threat. It's her threatening all of ours. She can stay locked up.

10. Once this happened

I know Huckabee started doing a little dance in the privacy of his own home because thinks this will finally bring some attention to his fledgling presidential campaign. And he moved fast enough in coming out with his support and his promise to rally for and meet with her that Jindal was probably kicking himself for being slow.

14. "Hey, I was here first!"

"Uh-uh! I was!"

"No, I was! No butting in line!"

"I'm showing support first!"

"No you're not!"

Then they're both arrested for disturbing the peace.
