Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee on Thursday urged Republicans attending the party's winter meeting to play offense against Democrats in two key areas Democrats traditionally see as winning issues for their party: poverty and women's reproductive rights.
“The president wants to talk about income inequality. I think we should have the debate. I’ve heard other Republicans say, 'Don’t go there.' No, let’s do go there,” Huckabee told Republican National Committee members gathered for the three-day forum at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington, D.C. “We should be the party that unapologetically says that there are way too many people who are struggling and who are poor.”
On outreach to female voters, Huckabee called on the Republican activists to push back on the Democratic narrative that Republican policies amount to a “war on women,” a talking point that Democrats found to be immensely successful in the last election.
