Mike Huckabee: "Lock Me Up in Kim Davis' Place""I am willing to spend the next eight years in the White House leading this country, but I want you to know I'm willing to spend the next eight years in jail." –Mike Huckabee
The 2016 Republican presidential hopeful said in a rally this afternoon that if U.S. District Judge David Bunning wants to jail someone for refusing to issue marriage licenses, Huckabee would take Davis' place. "I have a message for the judge, and I say this with all my heart," Huckabee said just before four o'clock Eastern time. "Let Kim go, but if you have to put someone in jail, I volunteer to go. Let me go. Lock me up, if you think that is how freedom is best served," he said. "I am willing to spend the next eight years in the White House leading this country, but I want you to know I'm willing to spend the next eight years in jail," he told the crowd. "But I'm not willing to spend one day under the tyranny of people who believe they can take our liberty and conscience away!" The line brought roars of appreciation from supporters from the local area, where Davis was elected county clerk last November—a post her mother held for 36 years. Huckabee made a point to mention that Davis is "an elected Democrat." "I don't want people to think this is an issue about Republicans and Democrats, because it was a Republican judge who put her in this jail to begin with," he said. He then addressed the newly freed Kim Davis... Kim, we will stand with the Constitution, and we will stand with our faith, and we will not be bullied even if they incarcerate us," he said. But as the rally revealed, Davis' next collision with the law may come in just a matter of days. Judge Bunning, the son of former U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning, released Davis today with the condition that she not "interfere in any way" with her subordinates, who have been issuing marriage licenses to homosexuals since last Friday. Her legal counsel said she will go back to work later this week, but no more licenses will be given to same-sex couples. Former HGTV star-in-waiting David Benham—who attended the rally with his brother Jason—said, "Today we stand with Kim, but tomorrow we must all stand like Kim and not back down." Their father, pro-life advocate Rev. Flip Benham, helped arrange a demonstration in the area, as well.
