Withdrawn / Huckabee on Civil Rights
Words: Huckabee opposes affirmative action for state contracts, public employment, and colleges.
Actions: No record.
Update: In the days preceding and following Gov. Huckabee’s victory in the Iowa caucus, many stories have surfaced about his ties to white supremacist groups.
In the lead-in to the South Carolina Primary, supporters of Huckabee ran a series of ads praising him for affirming the right of South Carolina to fly the Confederate Flag. Aside from a rump faction, though, Chris Hitchens has a great breakdown in the Jan 21st edition of Slate.
