Huckabee: Planned Parenthood shooting is 'domestic terrorism'

Washington (CNN)Mike Huckabee called the Friday shootings at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado an act of "domestic terrorism."

The former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential contender who's known for his social conservatism admonished the alleged shooter in an interview with CNN's Brianna Keilar Sunday on "State of the Union."

"What he did is domestic terrorism, and what he did is absolutely abominable, especially to us in the pro-life movement, because there's nothing about any of us that would condone or in any way look the other way on something like this," Huckabee said.

That part is good, but then he goes on to use this as an opportunity to attack Democrats with respect to the reaction to the Paris attacks.

Guess he got stuck on how to spell "stochastic" and then decided to leave it out after all.

I'dt have expected Huckabee to be the last candidate to make that statement, not the first.
