Huckabee: Martin Luther King Would Be ‘Appalled’ by #BlackLivesMatter (Mediaite)

During his appearance on The Situation Room,Wolf Blitzer asked Mike Huckabee for his thoughts regarding Hillary Clinton‘s meeting with #BlackLivesMatter activists. Huckabee responded that he understood that people were passionate about racial justice, but was bothered with the single-ethnicity focus.

On treating people with respect, Huckabee said “you don’t do it by magnifying the problems, you do it by magnifying the solutions.” He continued by saying “when I hear people scream ‘black lives matter,’ I’m thinking, of course they do. All lives matter. It is not that any life matters more than another.”
