“It’s obviously a crime of hate. We don’t know the rationale, but what other rationale could there be. You’re sort of lost that someone would walk into a Bible study at a church and indiscriminately kill people. This is one of those situation where you have to take a step a back and say — you talk about the importance of prayer at this time, and we’re now seeing assaults on religious liberty we’ve never seen before. So, it’s a time for deeper reflection even beyond this horrible situation.”

From the man who will never be President, Mike Huckabee.
