Gov. Mike Huckabee in a Republican Party press release joins Asa Hutchinson in bashing Mike Beebe over his role in the Nick Wilson corruption scandal.
(Not the most sensitive timing, considering the previous blog item.)
“Beebe was nowhere to be seen when his colleagues were ripping off the children’s fund,” Huckabee said in the release. “And after the scam was discovered, Beebe did re-surface – but only to block action against Wilson, Mike Todd, and the rest of his fellow senators. …
“Mike Beebe helped ensure that this scam became law. Today he claims he didn’t know what he was voting for. I don’t know what that says about his leadership, but even Nick Wilson says everyone knew. How could somebody who is campaigning on his record as a leader of the Senate also claim he was utterly oblivious to one of the worst political scandals in the history of the Legislature taking place right under his nose?” asked Huckabee.
Full release after the jump.
