Watch: MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski Loses It On Mike Huckabee Over His Kim Davis Religious Hypocrisy

Mika Brzezinski isn’t putting up with Mike Huckabee any longer. 

Mika Brzezinski is mad as hell and she’s not going to take Mike Huckabee’s stonewalling and religious hypocrisy any longer.

At least, that’s what it felt like this morning as she asked the GOP presidential candidate a simple yet important and wholly relevant question about Kim Davis.

“Mike Huckabee, I asked you a question. Would you support a clerk who would not give Kim Davis a third or a fourth marriage license?,” Brzezinski asked Huckabee. “You,” she stressed, pointing to the former Arkansas governor.

Note the totally justified angst in her voice in the video above, and note that question comes two minutes into the clip. She had actually, as she mentions, asked him the question before, and he brushed it off. Brzezinski wasn’t going to stand for it.

Huckabee then has the gall to respond, “I’m not sure if I follow that question,” he says, clearly stalling for time.

“You’re asking a question of a different nature,” Huckabee says. She’s not, but so what if she were? 

“There’s a difference between a marriage between a man and a woman, and a marriage between two men or a marriage between two women,” Huckabee wrongly claims.

Brzezinski continues, and Huckabee says, “Let me answer your question.”

She shoots back, “I’d love it.”

“What we’re talking about is whether we can redefine marriage,” Huckabee, wrongly, claims. “Not whether or not the law says a person can have more than one because the law clearly says what people can do. They can have a divorce…”

Brzezinski cuts in: “The law says they can get married now, as a gay person. So, if you’re following the law…”

Huckabee then repeats his incredibly ignorant understanding of American jurisprudence, claiming that because in some states there’s no law passed by a legislature and signed by a governor, same-sex couples cannot marry. Supreme Court? Huckabee apparently doesn’t believe it has the right to interpret law, or the Constitution.

Yes, the “small government” candidate for president thinks unless the local, state, or federal government has passed a law saying you can do something, you cannot.

Amazing.
