Mike Huckabee has a problem

clemmonsNine years ago while Mike Huckabee was the governor of Arkansas, he commuted the 60-year prison sentence of a man named Maurice Clemmons. This same man is now wanted for questioning in the shooting deaths of four Washington State police officers.

Whoops.

If it wasn’t for Huckabee, Maurice Clemmons would still be in prison in Arkansas. He wouldn’t have been able to walk into the Lakewood, Washington coffee shop and gun down four police officers as they sat doing paperwork on their laptop computers.

It’s not like this is even Clemmons’ first transgression since been being let out of prison by Huckabee. Clemmons is on bail awaiting trial for third-degree assault on a police officer and second-degree rape of a child. How does someone even get bail for raping a child?

I’m guessing this means the end of Huckabee’s presidential aspirations. I imagine anyone running against Huckabee in the Republican primary will make Maurice Clemmons their poster child.
