Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee referred to Donald Trump as a “car wreck” Friday morning in a tweet, but said he is still preferable to Hillary Clinton, whom he referred to as a “drunk driver.”
Trump may be a car wreck, but at least his car is pointed in right direction. Hillary is a drunk-driver going the wrong way on the freeway.

Huckabee ran for president himself this cycle, but threw his support behind the real estate mogul in May. Huckabee’s daughter works for the Trump campaign.
He later lashed out at the media’s reaction to his tweet.
Low IQ media don't get my earlier tweet about car wreck. @realdonaldTrump will bend fenders but is a vehicle going right way.
