Donny Deutsch Defends Mike Huckabee’s Remarks on Gay Lifestyle

Deutsch Defends Huckabee Statement on Gays, But Reveals Ignorance of His Own Religion (NewsBusters)

On today's Morning Joe, Donny Deustch defended Mike Huckabee's statement that he can be friendly with gays although he doesn't share their lifestyle, in the same way he can be friendly with people who drink alcohol, use profanity, or like classical music or ballet, even though he doesn't engage in or enjoy those activities.

But when Joe Scarborough stated that for thousands of years Christians and Jews have believed that homosexuality is not a preferable way of living, Deutsch protested "where did Jews say it's not okay to live that way?"  Scarborough and Mark Halperin pointed out to Deutsch that the prohibition is in the Old Testament. Deutsch claimed he was more of a believer of the "Us magazine" variety.
