Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has received a backlash over an anti-Asian tweet amid a rise in reported hate crimes against Asian Americans.
The 65-year-old, who served as the 44th governor of Arkansas from 1996 to 2007 and was a candidate for the Republican Party presidential nomination in 2008 and 2016, tweeted that he will “identify as Chinese” to win approval from US corporations.
He wrote: “I’ve decided to “identify” as Chinese. Coke will like me, Delta will agree with my ‘values’ and I’ll probably get shoes from Nike & tickets to @MLB games. Ain’t America great?”
