Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee argued on Wednesday that he had not been wrong to allow his mailing list to be used to peddle cancer cures based on Bible verses because it was similar to selling legitimate medical equipment.
The New York Times pointed out earlier this year that Huckabee had raised funds pushing dubious diabetes treatments and cancer cures prior to announcing his 2016 presidential run.
On Wednesday, CNN host Jake Tapper asked the candidate if he had lost credibility by attaching his name those types of marketing efforts.
I never signed that letter, Huckabee said of the email selling cancer cures. Its a huge email list that I developed over many years. And we did, in fact, rent it out to entities.
But my gosh, thats like saying, you run some ads on CNN, do you personally agree with all the ads that run on CNN? I doubt you do, he continued. Im sure theres some for maybe, I dont know, catheters or adult diapers, theyre not products you use or you necessarily believe in. I dont hold you responsible for that.

Okay, curing cancer might even have caused some people to forego real treatment. Yeah, some of them might have died when they could have been treated. But Huck gots to get paid.
