Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee came under fire for a tweet he sent while the Democratic candidates took to the debate stage in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Tuesday, NBC News reported.
The former Arkansas governor likened his trust of Vermont senator Bernie Sanders to “a North Korean chef with my labrador!”
The response on Twitter to Huckabee was swift with many calling his comments racist. Huckabee followed up his tweet hours later, writing, "Poor liberals think it's racist to deplore a brutal dictatorship."
