Mike Huckabee was creeped out by woman facing discrimination over breast size
December 30, 2013
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) says that he has been trying to forget that he was forced to interview a woman who was fired because her boss thought her breasts were too large.
In a recent interview with Politico, Huckabee took a look back at his time being a radio host as The Mike Huckabee Show comes to an end after nearly two years of trying to go head-to-head against Rush Limbaugh.
He recalled that a producer scheduled one interview that really made him uncomfortable.
"It was a woman who got fired because she said that her boss thought that her breasts were too big. And I’m not making this up,” the one-time Republican presidential candidate explained. "So I’m sitting there having to interview this woman about her boss thought her breasts were too big. I’ve had conversations with a lot of people, public and private, but this is just not one I want to have on a national radio show."
"It was bizarre. It was absolutely the most awkward, uncomfortable conversation I think I’ve probably ever had."
Huckabee said that he told his producer: “Look, I don’t mind doing fun stuff, I don’t mind doing some stuff that’s off the wall, but this is the kind of topic — this isn’t going to happen again.”
But he added that the producer “didn’t last very long with the show and maybe this was why.”
Huckabee, who also hosts a Fox News show, noted that he had "tried to forget" talking to the woman, but "unfortunately I’m unable to."
