Huckabee Comments on “Fast and Furious”

BULLARD (Staff/AP) — Former Arkansas Governor and former presidential contender Mike Huckabee weighs in on the “Fast and Furious” controversy during a visit to East Texas. Huckabee was in Bullard this week for Founder’s Day at the Brook Hill School. He tells KETK that Attorney General Eric Holder has some explaining to do. Huckabee commented, “How can he be the attorney general and not know of that many guns being in the hands of Mexican drug cartel(s) that ended up being responsible for killing an American border agent? That’s just absurd.” Huckabee says Holder either is incompetent or is just not telling the truth.

The Associated Press is reporting is reporting a subpoena heading to Holder’s desk having to do with the failed gun running operation. In 2009, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives allowed go-betweens for drug cartels to buy thousands of weapons from border state gun shops — and they lost track of about 2,000 of those guns. Some of the guns have turned up at crime scenes in Mexico, and a number are tied to Americans’ deaths.
