9 Things You Need to Know about Kim Davis

8. One Presidential Hopeful Defends Davis

Upon her release from jail after serving nearly one week behind bars, Davis was greeted by an emotional rally that included presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee. Huckabee has defended the Kentucky clerk by saying, “I think that people need to wake up and realize that the people of faith in this country are genuinely under attack. This is not about giving certain people their rights — it’s about denying others theirs.” He referred to her jailing as the “criminalization of Christianity.” Mr. Huckabee continued, “The question is, who’s next? Is it your pastor? Is it your Christian school administrator? If you don’t bow down to this really amazingly new and hastily put together definition of marriage, then does that make you a bigot? Does that make you somebody who is going to be pushed by the court and sent to jail? We’ve already seen the first person go to jail over it.”
