'You call yourself Christian?': Mike Huckabee catches hell for call to send Dem lawmaker to N. Korea

Former Arkansas Governor and erstwhile Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee -- father of White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders -- tweeted a message on Thursday calling for U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) to be sent to North Korea.

The Hill said that Huckabee wrote, "@POTUS has dispatched Maxine Waters to NOKO to talk to Lil Kim. After 1/2 hour with her he will drink whatever he gave to his 1/2 brother."

Huckabee -- who incorrectly fancies himself something of a Twitter comedian -- is referring to the murder of Kim Jong Un's half brother Kim Jong Nam with the toxic nerve agent ethyl N-2-Diisopropylaminoethyl Methylphosphonothiolate, known as VX Nerve Agent.

The murder was carried out in an airport by women who were tricked into thinking they were participating in a reality TV prank. South Korea has blamed Kim Jong Un for the murder.

Waters has been a vocal critic of the Trump administration, repeatedly calling for Trump's impeachment.
