Mike Huckabee defends Akin by reminding us that really awesome people came from rape
That’s where Mike Huckabee comes in. The Huckster came to Akin’s defense by reminding us that really awesome people came from rape. Seriously.
“Ethel Waters, for example, was the result of a forcible rape,” Huckabee said of the late American gospel singer. One-time presidential candidate Huckabee added: “I used to work for James Robison back in the 1970s, he leads a large Christian organization. He, himself, was the result of a forcible rape. And so I know it happens, and yet even from those horrible, horrible tragedies of rape, which are inexcusable and indefensible, life has come and sometimes, you know, those people are able to do extraordinary things.”
Also, you have to commend Huckabee’s ability to look on the bright side. Rape creates cool people. Slavery created soul food. And the Holocaust created that kickass scene at the beginning of the first X-Men movie. Now don’t you feel better about all of those things? I thought you would.
