Mike Huckabee
Ambassador to Israel
Mike Huckabee, the 29th U.S. Ambassador to Israel, is the first Christian to hold this position, marking a significant shift in U.S.-Israel diplomatic traditions. An ordained Southern Baptist minister, Huckabee has visited Israel over 100 times since his first trip in 1973, often leading evangelical Christian groups on pilgrimages to biblical sites. His deep evangelical beliefs inform his strong support for Israel, viewing the nation's existence as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy and a divine mandate. Huckabee's appointment underscores the growing influence of evangelical Christians in shaping U.S. foreign policy toward Israel.
Huckabee uses the word "Thugs" to describe people he doesn't like.
Anti-Trump protestors
Mike Huckabee condemned protesters who disrupted a Donald Trump rally in Chicago, calling them "thugs" and blaming them for attempting to shut down free speech. He rejected the idea that Trump had created a “toxic environment” by encouraging violent responses from his supporters, arguing instead that the protesters were to blame for the violence and disruption. Huckabee echoed Trump’s language, referring to the protesters as "thugs" and emphasizing that they should have just ignored the rally if they disagreed with Trump. He criticized the left for trying to silence opposing views rather than engaging in peaceful debate, and he voiced his support for Trump against accusations of racism.
Michael Brown
Mike Huckabee controversially referred to Michael Brown, an African-American teen killed by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, as a "thug." Brown was shot by Officer Darren Wilson after an encounter where Brown allegedly assaulted a store owner and then attempted to seize Wilson’s gun. Huckabee argued that Brown could have avoided the tragic outcome if he had behaved differently, stating that his actions led to the confrontation. He also criticized President Obama for meeting with activists involved in protests and condemned the Congressional Black Caucus for supporting the “hands up, don’t shoot” gesture, which became a symbol of the protests. Huckabee claimed that violent behavior, not peaceful protest, was to blame for Brown's death and criticized the current unrest as being contrary to the principles of nonviolent civil rights activism.

Huckabee said "Nothing is unforgivable" in response to the Josh Duggar scandal, in which Duggar was found guilty of possessing CSA material.
Mike Huckabee defended the Duggar family following allegations that their son, Josh Duggar, had molested multiple underage girls as a teenager. Huckabee acknowledged that Josh’s actions were “inexcusable,” but argued that his confession, efforts to seek help, and responsible behavior as an adult showed his family's authenticity and humility. Huckabee emphasized that while Josh’s actions were wrong, they were not unforgivable, and praised the Duggar family for addressing the situation openly with the victims and authorities. This came after Josh Duggar issued an apology and resigned from his job following the publication of a police report detailing the allegations. Huckabee, a former Southern Baptist pastor, had received endorsements from the Duggar family in the past.
Huckabee defended Trump when Trump refused to disavow the KKK.
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee defended Donald Trump after his failure to disavow the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) and David Duke during a recent interview. Huckabee downplayed any claims that Trump harbored racist tendencies, insisting that Trump's background did not suggest racism. Huckabee emphasized that Trump had already disavowed Duke and the KKK in other interviews. He also compared Trump’s lack of sensitivity to the Klan’s legacy in the South to his own, suggesting that growing up in the South made him more attuned to the issue of racism. Huckabee also questioned whether Hillary Clinton should be held accountable for her past ties to Senator Robert Byrd, a former KKK member. Additionally, Huckabee criticized the Republican National Committee's demands for loyalty from candidates and suggested that the party might be alienating voters.
Mike Huckabee believes there is a Biblical "Prophecy" in the West Bank.
Belief in the End Times
Mike Huckabee’s appointment as U.S. ambassador to Israel is troubling due to his Christian Zionist beliefs. He views the establishment of a Jewish state in Israel as essential for the Second Coming of Christ. Huckabee’s End Times theology includes the belief that Jews must control Israel to fulfill prophecy, and he denies Palestinian identity, claiming the West Bank belongs to Israel by divine right. Critics argue that Huckabee’s extreme views will worsen the situation for Palestinians, advocate for Israeli annexation, and justify violence.
The Western Wall
Mike Huckabee, the newly confirmed U.S. Ambassador to Israel, arrived in Israel and visited the Western Wall, one of Judaism’s holiest sites, where he placed a prayer written by President Donald Trump. The prayer, which read "For peace in Israel," was part of Huckabee's first act as ambassador, following Trump's instructions. Huckabee is a strong supporter of Israel and has previously spoken against ceasefire negotiations with Hamas, referring to settlements in the occupied West Bank as “communities” rather than settlements. He has also dismissed the term "West Bank," instead calling it "Judea and Samaria," using Biblical terms.
Trump shared a text message from Mike Huckabee, who said God spared his life after the assassination attempt and that he was divinely chosen. He also compared Trump to Truman.
"Divinely Chosen"
In a rapidly escalating series of events, President Donald Trump cut short his G7 summit visit to return to Washington amid intensifying conflict between Israel and Iran, shifting from hopeful talk of a nuclear deal to urging Tehran's residents to flee. As the crisis unfolds, Trump shared a fawning message from Ambassador Mike Huckabee, who called him divinely chosen and compared his role to Truman’s in 1945. Despite Trump’s intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard stating Iran isn’t pursuing nuclear weapons, Trump dismissed her, insisting the threat is real. Meanwhile, cracks are emerging within MAGA ranks, with figures like Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene warning against further U.S. involvement, even as Trump appears to be preparing the public for a more direct military role—possibly including the use of bunker-buster bombs on Iran’s fortified nuclear site.
Please don't forget - Truman dropped the atomic bomb on Japan. Huckabee is signifying nuclear war. He believes in the end times.
The Message Reads:
Mr. President, God spared you in Butler, PA to be the most consequential President in a century—maybe ever. The decisions on your shoulders I would not want to be made by anyone else. You have many voices speaking to you Sir, but there is only ONE voice that matters. HIS voice. I am your appointed servant in this land and am available for you but I do not try to get in your presence often because I trust your instincts.
No President in my lifetime has been in a position like yours. Not since Truman in 1945. I don’t reach out to persuade you. Only to encourage you. I believe you will hear from heaven and that voice is far more important than mine or ANYONE else’s. You sent me to Israel to be your eyes, ears and voice and to make sure our flag flies above our embassy. My job is to be the last one to leave.
I will not abandon this post. Our flag will NOT come down! You did not seek this moment. This moment sought YOU! It is my honor to serve you!”
