Mike Huckabee remains a paid pitchman for a dietary supplement while serving as President Donald Trump’s U.S. ambassador to Israel, even after he was called out on the arrangement, according to a report. The former Arkansas governor is being paid more than $414,000 for appearing in TV ads promoting a supplement known as Relaxium, which is made by American Behavioral Research Institute. A recording of Huckabee's voice greets callers when they dial a 1-800 number listed in the commercials, reported NOTUS.

“I trust Relaxium Sleep, and so should you,” Huckabee tells viewers as an American flag flaps in the background. “Get the best night of sleep, guaranteed. Don’t wait another minute. Call now.”

NOTUS reporter Dave Levinthal, a former editor-in-chief for Raw Story, contacted the American Behavioral Research Institute last week for more information about Huckabee's relationship with the company, which markets Relaxium as a “carefully formulated blend of drug-free ingredients known for their sleep-inducing and calming properties.”

"Shortly after NOTUS last week contacted the American Behavioral Research Institute ... both the Huckabee video and phone recordings disappeared," the outlet reported. "As of Tuesday, versions of the Huckabee video remained on Relaxium’s Facebook and Vimeo pages."

Replace Huckleberry's name with some Democrat and this would be blasted 24/7 on EVERY (purported) "news" outlet, Gymsuit and Comer would immediately start "investigations", and a drumbeat of demands would occur for that person to resign.

And that product he’s pushing you can buy on Temu for under $10 and it’s doesn’t work.

3. Displays of assumed privilege in your face

People like Huckabee go through life knowing they get the white man's pass. Just pitch a little fake love of Christ and all will be forgiven by other white folks. It's worked so far. He's a corrupt SOB.

4. "Ethics guru?" That's an odd title for Walter Shaub, former director of the Office of Government Ethics.
