Mike Huckabee: Biden, 'lunatic left' willing to 'abuse and shred the Constitution'

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee says Republicans need to take back both houses of Congress in November to preserve the Constitution and individual rights from the left. 

"If we don't get both houses of Congress in November, and if we don't get the White House back in 2024, there's not a whole lot we're going to be able to do," Huckabee said in an interview Friday on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "Because this administration, and the lunatic left are more than willing to just abuse and shred the Constitution and individual rights."

Last week, Just the News revealed that the federal government worked with private entities to target and censor millions of social media accounts for "election disinformation." 

"Essentially, these social media companies have become agents and tools of the government," Huckabee said. "I think some real serious lawsuits need to be filed against the social media companies. We may not be able to break them with legislation, because I'm not sure we got enough Republicans with guts to do it. But lawsuits need to be filed to say that these are no longer social media companies. These are political entities."

Huckabee said that America's founding is bound up with a Judeo-Christian worldview emphasizing the worth and agency of each individual as a creation of God.

"We were founded on the notion of a Judeo-Christian value system that put a great deal of focus on the rights and powers and the privileges of the individual, not the group," explained Huckabee, a Baptist minister prior to his political career. 

"Marxism," he continued, "has come in and said, 'No, you are not individually important. You're only important as part of your group, whether you're a labor union, a minority person of race, or a gender or a special interest.'

"We've got to push back on that and push back hard and say, 'No, your identity is not in a group. Your identity is in that you are an individual creation of an almighty God, who created you so uniquely that your DNA is unlike that of anyone else that does exist, or ever has existed, or ever will exist. You're special, you're unique. And so the individual is what America was based on. Our freedoms are individual, our rights are individual. And by the same token, our responsibilities are also individual."
