Exclusive Brody File Video: Huckabee says Romney’s Mormonism is Fair Game
August 29, 2007
In my sit-down interview with Mike Huckabee Tuesday in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, I asked him whether Mitt Romney’s Mormonism should be a campaign issue or not? His answer is below and you can watch it above:
“I think everybody’s faith, their career, their family all of those things are part of what helps people to determine whether a candidate is acceptable to them and whether they want to support a candidate. Should it be the sole criteria? No, it shouldn’t. Is it a criterion? It always has been for me in that people have looked at me and said ‘do I want to support a guy who’s a Pastor?’ I mean I’ve had to deal with that my entire political life. So having been on the receiving end of it, I don’t see a big deal for it myself. I expect it to be an issue as people evaluate whether they want me to be President. And I’m perfectly prepared to defend my faith in front of anyone, anytime, anyplace and under any circumstance. That’s fine. I not only accept it I in fact welcome it because frankly it gives me an opportunity to give witness to my faith so to be questioned on it is not something that would make me say’ well I don’t want to talk about that’. Sure, let’s talk about it.”
