Our initial condemnation of the Capitol Hill violence has, so far, drawn close to 600 responses. It’ll take a while to go through them all, but here are a few examples from across the opinion spectrum…

From Sherry:

You are so right! This election is so wrong, but this is what we have. The Republican Party is better than this; this is NOT how we behave. Even listening to our President was very disappointing. Somehow the Republicans need to be tough and stand up. We have got to be better than what we show and be stronger! I'm sorry our President lost but HE did NOT help our cause by much he has to say. Our elections need to be better.

From the Gov:

Thanks, Sherry. One important note: Even if elections are tainted by fraud, we HAVE to continue voting. If Georgia Republicans had voted in their senatorial run-offs at the same level they voted on Nov. 3, we'd still have the Senate. People who stayed home turned the whole government over to leftists. Remember: the closer the margin, the easier the fraud!

From David:

As an avid listener and reader of your material and a big fan of yours, I have to disagree. I don't condone violence but "We the People" are fed up with the hypocrisy of our government. Sometimes we need to take a stand and take our country back. As a Christian and a conservative, I will do what's necessary to protect my God given liberties. God bless you and your family!

From the Gov:

David, I appreciate that you wrote, but this action did not “take our country back.” It SET our country back and gave the left a gift tied with a big blue ribbon. With everything good that Trump should be remembered for, his legacy has been largely destroyed, at least for now, by a relatively small group of protesters. We have to find better ways to protect our liberties, ways that don’t backfire spectacularly as this one has.

From William:

My SPIRIT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN! THE TRUST HAS BEEN SHATTERED! HENCEFORTH I WILL STRIVE STRICTLY TO DO MY DUTY FOR GOD, FAMILY, AND THERE IS VERY LITTLE CAN BE DONE FOR OUR REPUBLIC! ALL MY LIFE POLITICIANS LIE, STEAL AND KILL! THEY START WARS TO KILL OUR YOUNG MEN AND VOTE TO KILL THE UNBORN! I AM RETIRED AND BEEN DISABLED 18 YEARS, HAVE HAD 21 SURGERIES, WAS CAPTAIN 27 YEARS, AND SERVED 32 YEARS IN THE HOUSTON FIRE DEPARTMENT. GROWING UP IN A MILITARY FAMILY, DAD FOUGHT IN NORMANDY-GERMANY-FRANCE, AND KOREA, AND MOM WAS A NAVY NURSE IN WWII. BROTHERS ARMY, AIR FORCE AND MARINES! I HAVE A RIGHT TO BE MAD AND I BELIEVE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS LOVE OUR LAND ARE VERY ANGRY AND THIS WILL NOT GO AWAY ANY TIME SOON! AMERICAS ENEMY ARE CONGRESS AND THE SENATE! THEY ARE ALWAYS AGAINST "WE THE PEOPLE"! PASTOR HUCKABEE I LOVE YOU AND TRULY BELIEVE YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN MANY LIVES AND YOUR SHOW IS GREAT.

From the Gov:

Thank you; I’m glad you like the show. William, we’re all angry and have a right to be. But just lashing out is not going to help the cause of conservatism, and this time, it did a tremendous amount of damage.

We’re in no position to condemn violence on the Angry Left if we’re going to use the same tactics. We can’t become the very thing we hate. The double standard exists, to be sure, as those on the left get away with violence, and as realists we have to be mindful of that when contemplating our actions, as they will be turned and used against us by the left whenever possible. The challenge will be how to channel this anger into responses that will do some good. If I CAN make a difference right now, I hope it will be in helping more people understand this.

From Nick:

I am saddened by the violence. If these people were Trump supporters, it makes us all look bad. Trump did rile up the crowd when stating there would be ‘fireworks’. The media will label all Trump supporters as overzealous conspiracy theorists. My brother says I look silly when I say the election was stolen. He tells me to be quiet. Indicative of the left’s view of us all!

From the Gov:

Thanks for writing, Nick. Unfortunately, all true, except for the part about you looking silly. Don't let your brother intimidate you.

From Gennifer (excerpt):

Yes, January 6th events in Washington were unfortunate. This is an example of Conservatives being pushed to a breaking point. No person is strong enough to watch day after day, month after month cities being decimated AND nothing was/is done about it and, what’s worse, no one cared...I am one of the people who are outraged over the Presidential election. I might have been more accepting of the results had ANY of the profound evidence been examined by anyone of authority. One more example of adding kindling to the fire!

From Karen (excerpt):

I agree with you. Our Constitution should be followed to the letter. But where was the SCOTUS? They could have stopped all this...By not ruling on the States not following their own Constitution, the States brought forward illegitimate electoral votes. THIS FACT is what lit the powder keg. This is America, we are Americans and we get mad when our rights are infringed upon…All we asked for, or wanted, was an honest election. We would have tolerated a legitimate Biden win. It was not a legitimate win; we have been blocked from proving either way. And now, God worshipping, law abiding, Deplorables are ANGRY!

From the Gov:

Completely understandable. Even so, Karen, we cannot allow ourselves to be the powder keg. The left WANTED to ignite it. Just two days later, we’re already getting an idea of how they plan to use this turn of events. Plus, they’re blaming Trump –- Biden is grotesquely exaggerating on that point –- to the extent that they’re now talking about impeachment (again) or using the 25th Amendment to destroy any political future he might have. Maybe the rioters intended to “help” Trump, but they hurt him immeasurably. If they wanted to change the course of history, they certainly did, but in a very, very bad way.

The way to help Trump would have been to have all 200,000 people show up in peaceful support of him, while legislators offered words of wisdom and truth inside the chamber. Imagine how differently that would have played. How I wish we could get in the Way-Back Machine and go back two days to fix this, but we can’t.

Finally, this from Nancy:

I, too, am appalled at the violence and disrespect shown for our institutions. I share the belief that the election results were fraudulent, but they will not be overturned by behavior that echoes the despicable rioting of the anarchists. I am praying for America that God's mercy would heal our land. I am praying that He will foil the plans of the wicked and give wisdom and courage to His followers.

From the Gov:

Thanks, Nancy. Wisdom and courage are definitely what we need right now. Certainly we all must exercise that wisdom to see what you have pointed out –- that even a fraudulent election will not be overturned by violence. That just results in tragedy and compounds the problems we and our country face.

I’ll end by offering some stories told by people who were there in the crowd on Wednesday, describing what it was like for them that day and what they think of what happened.

    Thank you Governor for being the voice of reason. We need your guidance in these sad times.

    We believe antifa was involved also GEORGE SOROS MONEY.

  • Bonnie Hart Murray

    There were many pictures and videos of the rioting inside of the Capitol. Have you been seeing news that with facial recognition technology, they have identified many of the thugs as members of Antifa and Black Lives Matter? I listened to a half hour video from a man named Dustin who was near the scene but didn't go into the Capitol. He was formerly in the Army and he said Antifa was involved, and that they were pushing Trump supporters into the police line. One picture showed one of the thugs who had a hammer and sickle tattoo on his hand--one of the signs of Antifa. The first hand witness of what happened just outside the doors of the Capitol said a few true Trump supporters got caught up in the melee and went into the Capitol. One source said it was the Antifa and BLM people who broke the windows and did 95% of the damage. I heard from one source that a busload of Antifa people did arrive at the rally and that they were carrying various weapons. If it was Antifa and BLM who infiltrated the peaceful rally, as they did all last summer, doesn't that change the whole narrative?

    Voting and elections will never be the same again...
    The Democrats have figured out a system for voter fraud, fine tuned it and you may never see a Republican voted in again..

  • Cherle Humphrey

    Gov. Huckabee,
    My husband and I watch your show every week and read your newsletters every day. I have to say, I am disappointed that you did not wait for the evidence to be presented about who actually entered and caused the destruction in the capital. It is my understanding that antifa and BLM infiltrated the Trump supporters and instigated the riots. When have you ever seen them cause destruction. The most they have done is stand up for themselves when attacked. Don’t you think they deserve the benefit of a fair hearing before condemning them?

  • Jim Hudson

    01/09/2021 12:46 AM

    We have all seen the videos by now where they practically ushered us in the capital right behind antifa who was police escorted. Once again we played right into the hand of the democrats. We have to be smarter than them if we have any chance of surviving. These people are evil. We have to start anticipating their next Move just like a chess game. Right now we are their pawns and it’s really quite embarrassing

  • Donna LORENE Miller

    It is frustrating to hear people and even you talk as if the violence at the Capitol was done by hot headed Conservatives in the peaceful protest group. There has already been enough said about the BLM and Antifa groups disguising themselves as Trump supporters and doing the damages at the Capitol to make President Trump look bad. Eyewitnesses have given accounts of a busload coming and storming the Capitol before the marchers even got there. It is plain to me that it was planned, and in my opinion instigated by the Democrats. Where were the security measures usually in place at the Capitol? Had they purposely been relieved of duty when they would be needed most? Please stop talking as if it is a given that the peaceful protesters couldn't control their own emotions after being at many marches before with no problems.

  • Don Harrison

    Love your programs and news letter. Saw you on Focus on the Family. ??. Put this under conspiracy theories but I expect Biden’s time in office will be very short and the attack on the capital will be proven a staged affair from the Left and the antifa. Biden will always be the Commander in Thief.

  • Sharon Dunning

    01/08/2021 10:58 PM

    This Georgia voter, and at least three of my family members, voted for Trump. Our county had no reported voting issues, but we’re just outside the metro Atlanta area.

  • Candace King

    01/08/2021 09:49 PM

    Mr Huckabee, if we want to make a difference we need to take action. We need to vote for people like Candace Owens and Mr. Kirk and others who are good Republicans good people and who will stand up to the likes of the people we have in Congress now

  • Christopher Grammer

    01/08/2021 09:28 PM

    Mr. Huckabee,

    It is my sincere observation that a "Mob Action" mentality took over a angry crowd of "mostly" Trump supporters. I also sincerely observed the Left's "inside plans" to infiltrate the Trump supporters wearing "Trump Regalia". Since I've personally seen this myself.. I'm not going to be able to change my view. I'm a Poli-Sci guy...I believe that once a extremest party demands the exact very demand to remove President Trump by "Using the military to remove the President from office when he loses...." IN JULY 2020...I suspect a conspiracy of the most evil of elements plan a more "sinister" Totaltarianism Government with no opposition and liberties and privacy stripped. Censored media..."Agree or else" look to it. Christians around the world must come to prayer in the Lord's House.

    Much admired,
    Christopher Grammer

  • ROBERTA MILLS

    01/08/2021 09:02 PM

    Gov. Huckabee, I did not see your show you are talking about. .... Just want to say that I do not believe any of the rioters were President Trump's supporters. And, President Trump did not tell anyone to riot. I believe that many Dems. including Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, some Republicans, and others all knew and maybe even invited and maybe paid the Antifa group to come pretending to be Trump supporters and do this riot in order to make President Trump look bad so they can take him out of office. This riot needs to be investigated. This was all a put up by the Democrats. Just like all year long put ups. Nancy Pelosi and Obama are very dangerous persons. They have a way too much power. They are the ones inciting violence. Pelosi needs to be impeached. She says the President is not above the law, but, she acts like anything she does is fine. She does not go by the rules. She brings things up to vote on that she herself knows is not true. Trump is the innocent one here. He's been fighting to get our Country back to the people. Biden may go in office but he is going in illegally. Is this America?.... because in America we are supposed to get a fair trial before being tried, convicted, censored, and LYNCHED. This is what they are doing to Our President Trump. And, America is supposed to have legal ballots and elections.

  • Brenda Tudor

    Mike, I don’t understand how the Democrats invested Trump for over 3 years, and none of the election inconsistencies are being investigated or Biden’s and his son’s dealings with China.

  • Jane havran

    01/08/2021 07:58 PM

    Until we actually find out who was behind the charge on the capital, I think we all should be quiet. I truly feel that this riot was invited by liberals who infiltrated the protest and are responsible for the violence. This was a powder keg to start off. We deplorables feel that not only was the Presidential electstolen, the Senate election in Georgia was, too. We feel that since the democrats were able to do this with ease, and absolutely NO REPERCUSSIONS, there will never be a fair election ever again. They have figured it out, how to program voting machines, and how to produce fraudulent ballots, and as it seems that there is no court in the land that will actually listen and look at the fraud, we are powerless. This is so wrong, but even the supreme Court seems in on the fix. What are we to do?

  • Pamela Thompson Lefkowitz

    01/08/2021 07:56 PM

    I agree with your comments about what happened on Wednesday in Washington.

    At this point the most important thing, is to secure the elections going forward. We need to elect wise men and women to be in charge of the elections in every county in the USA and at the state level. Next we need to take back the local school boards and college board positions. We need to do what the far left set out to do in 1920 and hope that God will help us do it by the elections in 2022. We can put pressure on our state legislatures to ban Dominion machines and other machines that can be manipulated. Even though it will not change who is president for the next 4 years, we can continue to support Sidney Powell and those who are seeking to hold Dominion accountable.

    There are things that we can quietly do. We can seek out men and women of ethics and integrity to run for office in 2022. We can support President Trump and Vice President Pence as they go forward. And most importantly we can pray and vote.

    I have been a voting Republican American citizen for almost 47 years. It makes me sad when my fellow Americans behave poorly as they did on Wednesday when they broke into the Capital in Washington DC. We must all pray and repent so that God can heal our land as the Bible tells us to do.

  • Andrea M Wilson

    Governor Huckabee

    With all due respect, It was simply a coup to get Trump out. It was Antifa and BLM threatening Senators and sneaking in there amongst the crowd and doing the dirty stuff.

    I am fasting for a miracle to take place, and the miracle may be that His Blood-Bought Children are taken out!

  • Lesia Kirker

    01/08/2021 07:13 PM

    Governor I appreciate all your voice of reason in a time of great trouble. I will disagree about those that stormed the capital. There may have been Trump supporters but other non supporters infiltrated and caused this mess. It was intentional and planned from within I believe. The evilness in people, and I'll not mention names or groups, continues to grow. I thought I'd never live to see the day this would happen to our country, even though the Bible tells us that evil would be called good and good would be called evil. Mother against daughter and father against son. It also says man's hearts will fail them from fear. Our only hope is in Jesus Christ.

    For those of us who missed President Trump’s speech to his supporters at the DC rally, where can I view it? I’d like to form my own opinion as to its influence on the Capitol riot.

  • Sandi Thompson

    01/08/2021 06:03 PM

    Governor Huckabee
    Please stop calling the rioters Trump supporters. Most were not. Most were Anitfa thugs who infiltrated the March. I had several friends who were there who confirmed this. Unfortunately some Trump people did follow them, but most endeavored to keep them out.
    It is a sad day for our country, but Biblical prophesy does not include the USA in end times events. Our home is in heaven and someday soon, Jesus will come to take us there.
    Thank you for your godly perspective on what's happening these days. We must pray a hedge of protection around the President and his family.

    Dear Mike,

    I am new to your newsletters since this political season began.
    They have brought to me good sense and comfort (as do your daily Bible verses).

    I pray for the health and security of our nation. I believe conservative leadership is the key along with rational liberal views to be considered and discussed.

    I would appreciate though some Christian guidance. There are lessons within this pandemic and this traumatic political atmosphere to be seen and recognized. What are your thoughts on this? Could you help me to see what these lessons are trying to show me, help me to understand. Directing me to readings in the Bible would be much appreciated.

    Thank you, ever so much. Blessings to you and your family. Deanna

    Sr.
    I was listening to you about promoting your book, but I need to remind you that America is right now the laughable clown in the entire world due to the influence of a so call Christian leader of this country. This man call himself a Christian and he should in his 4 yrs of service didn't behave as a man of God., but instead he promoted evil, hate, separation or division. Why Christian are not acknowledging the truth about everything I just mentioned?
    Sincerely,
    Hilda Alvarado.

    I would like to know if anything is going to be done to insure that voter fraud will never happen again? If something isn’t done about it, then why bother voting anymore?
