In a sad attempt at conservative humour, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee has managed to be racist, transphobic and anti-democratic with a single tweet.
Huckabee, 65, father of former White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, came under fire for saying he would start identifying as Chinese to get freebies from American corporations.
“I’ve decided to ‘identify’ as Chinese,” he tweeted on Saturday (3 April). “Coke will like me, Delta will agree with my ‘values’ and I’ll probably get shoes from Nike and tickets to Major League Baseball games. Ain’t America great?”
