Former Governor of Arkansas and Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee let loose Tuesday night as he tweeted throughout the Democratic debate.

Letting loose in this case means getting racist, specifically toward North Koreans.

He compared Senator Bernie Sanders to a North Korean chef, writing that he trusts him with tax dollars as much as he would trust the latter with his pet dog. After receiving quite a bit of public backlash, Huckabee didn’t back down or apologize. Instead, he defended his position.
