Mike Huckabee made an appearance on Wolf Blitzer’s The Situation Room, and during that appearance, Blitzer asked Huckabee what he thought of Hillary Clinton’s meeting with Black Lives Matter activists.
Huckabee said that he understood that the activists were passionate and that there was real injustice, but he noted that there seemed to be a lack of respect, saying, “You don’t do it by magnifying the problems, you do it by magnifying the solutions.”
He also questioned the focus on only black lives, saying, “When I hear people scream ‘black lives matter,’ I’m thinking, of course they do. All lives matter. It is not that any life matters more than another.”
He then touted his own experience having integrated an all-white congregation when he was a pastor, saying that the focus should be on injustice rather than skin color. “That’s the whole message that Dr. King tried to present, and I think he’d be appalled by the notion that we’re elevating some lives above others,” Huckabee said.
