Mike Huckabee tweets out racist joke about Asians eating dogs during Dem debate



While all eyes were on Donald Trump’s Twitter feed after he promised to live-tweet the Democratic debate, GOP candidate Mike Huckabee managed to win the night for the most outrageous tweet with an incredibly racist tweet aimed at Bernie Sanders.

After tweeting, “Racism exists because we have a sin problem in American, not a skin problem,” Huckabee followed up with … a racist joke:

“I trust @BernieSanders with my tax dollars like I trust a North Korean chef with my labrador!” he wrote

Huckabee’s comment is based on a common slur against Asians, inferring that they would like to eat you pet dog.
