“When the movement becomes, sort of, focused in a handful of groups that are raising funds to attack Republicans and the criteria for being attacked is the difference you might have in the tactic of the party, not the philosophy of the party, I think that is what Boehner and the others are really reacting to,” Huckabee continued.
“Governing is tough,” he continued. “Politics is not theology. It’s easy to be pure when you are talking about theology.”
