Mike Huckabee offered a despicable response on Saturday to President Obama's nomination of Eric Fanning as Army Secretary. Fanning would be the first out gay man to serve in the position.
Huckabee's response, in a statement released by his campaign:
“It's clear President Obama is more interested in appeasing America's homosexuals than honoring America's heroes. Veterans suicide is out-of-control and military readiness is dangerously low, yet Obama is so obsessed with pandering to liberal interest groups he's nominated an openly gay civilian to run the Army. Homosexuality is not a job qualification. The U.S. military is designed to keep Americans safe and complete combat missions, not conduct social experiments.”
