Mike Huckabee lashes out at 'low IQ media' for seizing on his comment describing Trump as a 'car wreck'

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a 2016 presidential candidate and Donald Trump supporter, lashed out at the "low IQ media" after reporters seized on a tweet in which he called the Republican nominee a "car wreck."

"Low IQ media don't get my earlier tweet about car wreck," Huckabee wrote, explaining that Trump "will bend fenders but is a vehicle going right way."

The former 2016 presidential candidate had earlier used a strange car analogy to describe the race as it heads into the final days.

"Trump may be a car wreck, but at least his car is pointed in right direction," he wrote. "Hillary is a drunk-driver [sic] going the wrong way on the freeway."

Huckabee became a strong supporter of Trump after suspending his own campaign for the White House. His daughter serves as a senior adviser to the New York businessman's campaign.
