Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee referred to President Biden as the new "Pierre Delecto" due to a secret email name. 

"It is funny that Joe Biden was using a secret private email while telling reporters, 'I've never talked to my son about business. I don't know anything about my son's business,'" Huckabee said on the Thursday edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "He knows so much about it, that he became the new Pierre Delecto."

"Pierre Delecto" is the name of a Twitter account that Utah Senator Mitt Romney used to "browse what was being discussed and read articles," according to USA Today.

He said his son made the account for him.

The House Oversight Committee unearthed an email showing a White House staffer communicated plans for a phone call with Ukraine's president to Joe Biden on a private email account in 2016 and copied Hunter Biden, an unusual backdoor for a sensitive conversation with a foreign leader.

The email in question was quietly released in January as part of the Obama presidential archives. In it, a White House staffer writes Joe Biden on a personal pseudonym email account named Robert L. Peters.

"I think that's his soulmate–Pierre Delecto," Huckabee said. "He might as well take Mitt Romney's spot."
