Mike Huckabee Says His Daughter Can Handle Press Corps: ‘She Has 3 Pre-Schoolers’

Fresh off of making another joke on Twitter that turned into a punchline all on its own, Mike Huckabee returned to the arena to defend daughter Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Huckabee Sanders is one of the long-suffering surrogates of Donald Trump, so she’s had a rough week defending her boss after he fired the head of the FBI. As a result, she got a lot of scrutiny in the media world from pundits and reporters alike.

Enter Huckabee himself, who tweeted in support of his daughter this morning:

Daughter @SHSanders45 was prepared for WH press corps; she has 3 pre-schoolers and used to dealing with the same questions over and over.

Outdated pop culture reference? Check. Comparison of press corps to little kids? Check. Huckabee not only went full “dad joke” mode, but full “politician joke” mode, too.
