Mike Huckabee appeared on “Fox News Sunday” with fill-in host Doug McKelway, and delivered a fiery take that captures the anger of the American people beautifully.
After McKelway decried the “coarsening of the culture” involved in political campaigns, Huckabee disagreed saying it’s more about the “seething rage” of the American people.
“People are so mad,” he explained. “They feel like that this government is completely oblivious to protecting them.”
Huckabee then went on to address the disparity between the American who has to submit to extra security screenings, while terrorists like the San Bernardino couple are allowed to get through because of your PC culture.
“They (Americans) go through metal detectors, they take their shoes off to get on the plane to go see Grandma at Christmas,” he explained, “And yet, here comes a terrorist coming in, who passes all kinds of background checks and goes and shoots up a Christmas party after her husband has sat there and had lunch with their fellow employees.”
“People see that and they’re angry,” he added.

Transcript (Via Fox News Insider):
It’s not so much the coarsening, it’s the anger. The seething rage of the electorate right now. People are so mad, and Doug, I can understand a lot of it. They feel like that this government is completely oblivious to protecting them. They go through metal detectors, they take their shoes off to get on the plane to go see Grandma at Christmas. And yet, here comes a terrorist coming in, who passes all kinds of background checks and goes and shoots up a Christmas party after her husband has sat there and had lunch with their fellow employees. People see that and they’re angry, they’re angry at the fact that there’s a handful of people who get richer and richer, a lot of people work harder and harder, they’ve got nothing to show for it. There is frustration. They’re frustrated when they watch Republicans pass a huge, multi-trillion dollar spending bill that doesn’t defund Planned Parenthood, that welcomes Syrian refugees, that doesn’t do a thing about Obamacare, (and) basically gives the Democrats everything they want and gives the Republicans nothing. So what I’m seeing is that people are just so incredibly angry, and understandably so.
