Oh, and now I've found this written about Mike Huckabee's other enormously obese son:
"...Go check out Jia Tolentino’s piece on the “large-adult-son meme” for NewYorker online. The tweet said: “My favorite thing in the world is that Mike Huckabee literally has large adult sons.”
"The Huckabee sons remain the poster boys for the meme. “They are very large, they are adult, and they are so clearly Huckabee’s sons,” Petchesky noted.
They also fully fit the archetype. David, notoriously, once killed a dog at summer camp, and John Mark once acted in a low-budget film in which he smoked cigarettes while assuring a female character that it was normal to “suck a little dick to get a part.”
This is classic large-adult-son behavior: alarming, with a whiff of the surreal. The Huckabee boys also remain cloaked by the cartoonish piety that undergirds their father’s politics. The situation resembles a 2014 @dril tweet: “my big sons have made a mess of the garage again after being riled up by the good word of the Lord.”
The definitive quality of the large adult son is that he is endlessly excusable: though he does nothing right, he can do no wrong."

Wow. His sons are definitely characters. One seems to be funny, one seems to be weird. They both are really fat and unhealthy looking. Which Mike used to be I guess. “You shall know them by their fruit.” I’m not sure what I think, he obviously worked a lot so his wife would have raised them and we don’t know about her. But their daughter seems pretty fucking cool imo - a real fighter. Always appreciated Sarah.
One more note, are you familiar with the “preacher’s child” trope?
It’s a very real thing, and it’s not because the preachers are all corrupt scumbags. If you’re doing good work for The Lord, Satan IS going to attack you.
Again, I’m not saying that dismisses or proves anything, either, but your proof is his son, and not him. Neither David’s (Absalom) nor Moses’s sons followed in their fathers’ footsteps, either. To your side, how he got to be governor of a state might be a good question, too.
Anyway.
As noted, if you have valid reasons for it that are directly related to him, that’s a different story than my original comment.
