Mike Huckabee is trying really hard to become a political comedian
Mike Huckabee has been firing off quite a few tweets recently.
The former governor of Arkansas and noted bass guitarist posted a joke that had the internet up in arms on Tuesday:
Breaking News! Jimmy Dean Sausage Co will be renamed GORSUCH SAUSAGE because he's grinding up some Democrat Senators into PURE PORK SAUSAGE!
— Gov. Mike Huckabee (@GovMikeHuckabee) March 21, 2017
The violence the tweet implies reminded a few social media users of a story about how Huckabee's son, David, once allegedly killed a dog at Boy Scout camp.
The Huckabee Sausage Co specializes in dog sausages that your sons make from the mutilated corpses of the dogs they murder

Huckabee's "Poop Dog" tweet from Friday elicited similar reactions, for more obvious reasons:
Poop Dogg has nephew named Bow Wow; both bad dogs who advocate murder and sex slavery for @POTUS and First Lady;Who let the dogs out?

Huckabee has been sharing his humorous political commentary on Twitter for quite some time now -- it started when he suspended his presidential campaign on Feb. 1, 2016.
Hillary Clinton is one of his favorite targets:
Leahy at Gorsuch hearing is more effective than Ambien in inducing sleep; He makes Hillary look like a candidate for Dancing w/ the Stars!

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

Actually, no opposing politician can escape the heat:

Sorry, Russia! You're not safe from the silliness either:
Full disclosure:I have NOT met with Russian AMB, but did have Russian dressing on a salad last September. I'll recuse from salads for a week

Think he won't make a joke about you because you're not a politician? Think again:
Watch celebs spew ignorant political venom at Oscars?? Nah...think I'd rather have a colonoscopy. Both happen from same location.

He likes Lady Gaga, though:
Lady Gaga left politics out but added some high octane talent. She needed to drop the mic. She crushed it.

Even though he isn't holding elected office right now, he still has quite a few hot takes about policy decisions:
Obama gives Israel middle finger; gives Iran wet kiss; he's hates Israel for building bedrooms more than Iran for building bombs.
— Gov. Mike Huckabee (@GovMikeHuckabee) December 24, 2016
And of course, he loves meat:
Friend sent T'giving recipe: How to prepare Tofu:
a. Throw it in the trash
b. Grill, smoke or deep fry some meat— Gov. Mike Huckabee (@GovMikeHuckabee) November 20, 2016

Like it or not, Huckabee is going to keep firing off political puns:
I Tweet for my amusement and your amazement. To haters trolls and humorless people-you really shouldn't follow me. It's way over your head!
