Mike Huckabee Calls Utterly Unqualified Dr. Ben Carson ‘A Terrific Choice’ For HUD Secretary

Fox News contributor Mike Huckabee agrees with Dr. Ben Carson, a former Fox contributor, that his childhood in the inner city makes him totally qualified to be the secretary of the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Appearing on Fox today, Huckabee suggested that just having the right attitude about poor people (and we know what ethnic group he’s thinking of) is all that’s required for the job:

HUCKABEE: He brings to it a personal story of having grown up in a tough neighborhood, growing up as one of numerous children to a single mom who had to raise them but who insisted they get a good education, who understands the value of housing and neighborhoods and how that affects a person growing up.

I think it’s a great choice. Look, Ben Carson is a brilliant man. I mean, people need to remember that this is a guy who, before all the political people started piling on him, had been awarded by about every national and international organization in the world, including the NAACP for his humanitarian efforts. I think he’s a terrific choice.
