Mike Huckabee to Christians: Speak up!

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee issued some tough talk on "The Kelly File" on Fox News about the realities playing out in Indiana, saying those of faith need to speak up, get in the game and defend their religious freedoms.

First, Huckabee criticized the many corporations that were retaliating against Indiana and Republican Gov. Mike Pence for the newly signed Religious Freedom Restoration Act, saying they were "fold[ing] like a cheap tent in a windstorm."

His comments were aimed at the likes of Walmart, Apple, Salesforce and other businesses with owners who were mulling moves from the state in protest of what they deemed a discriminatory law.

Huckabee, who may make a run for the White House in 2016, then turned his eye on the Christian population, pleading for more action – especially in consideration of the closure of one Indiana pizza parlor after owners spoke about their religious beliefs and plans to not cater any "gay" weddings.

"It breaks my heart to see it, because ultimately there are a lot of Christians that have been very quiet," he said during the fox News segment with Megyn Kelly. "They just said live and let live. But there may come a time when the vast numbers of people in this country, some of them [not] even Christians, who will say this is going too far. When you start trying to shut businesses down."
