As governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee aggressively pushed for the early release of a convicted rapist despite being warned by numerous women that the convict had sexually assaulted them or their family members, and would likely strike again. The convict went on to rape and murder at least one other woman.
His "Willie Horton" moment? Hardly. Huckabee was personally and actively involved in the release of Wayne Drummond, despite receiving letters from women who had been sexually assaulted by the man, and who warned the Arkansas Governor that "he would rape again - and perhaps murder - if released."
So, why would Huckabee advocate the release of a man known to be dangerous?
