6:52Now Playing"Mike Huckabee is very passionate about the gay marriage issue, and is particularly steamed with Republicans essentially giving up on the issue. It’s not really that big of an election-year issue, and the leader of the House Republicans is helping raise money for an openly gay Republican candidate. To Huckabee, all this represents a Republican surrender on the gay marriage issue. A few days ago he actually threatened to leave his own party if they don’t start fighting back against gay marriage more, and on his Fox News show this past weekend, he really went after the GOP for backing down on this social issue just because the political winds might not be in their favor.
Huckabee went off on “judicial tyranny” and minorities supposedly attempting to “veto” the rights of the majority, in reaction to recent Supreme Court action that led to gay marriage becoming legal in a number of states."* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
