Huckabee makes fun of Transgender People
Washington (CNN) Mike Huckabee says there's a time he wishes he could've been transgender: When it was time to hit the high school showers.
If he "could have felt like a woman," the Republican former Arkansas governor joked earlier this year, then he could have seen his female classmates without their clothes on.
"Now I wish that someone told me that when I was in high school that I could have felt like a woman when it came time to take showers in PE," Huckabee said.
"I'm pretty sure that I would have found my feminine side and said, 'Coach, I think I'd rather shower with the girls today.' You're laughing because it sounds so ridiculous doesn't it?"
Huckabee's comments came in February at the 2015 National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Nashville, Tennessee. They were uploaded to YouTube over the weekend by World Net Daily and picked up more prominently by BuzzFeed on Tuesday.
The comments were notable because transgender people say their decisions aren't driven by sexuality and are a matter of personal identity: they identify with a gender they were not assigned at birth.
A Huckabee spokeswoman did not respond to CNN's request for a comment on those remarks.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: This is a Strategy?
I am trying to imagine how this becomes a path to the White House.
Why would a president get involved in this?
More and more I think that Huckabee is running to boost book sales.

Re: This is a Strategy?
Huckabee's a dope, but I think he knows that at this very early point in the campaign, a longshot like him needs to keep his name in the news, regardless of what it's for.
Remember, he has to be in the top 10 in polling to get into the GOP debates. Since nobody really knows anything about any of the candidates, you just need to stay in the news enough that if a pollster calls a voter, your name will hopefully be on the tip of their tongue for no other reason that you say stupid stuff.
