New Huckabee adviser called for 'a cop in front of every mosque'
Earlier this month, Newsday columnist and Fox News contributor James Pinkerton joined former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's presidential campaign as a "senior adviser" who "will work at the intersection of policy and strategic messaging". Pinkerton, who worked in the White House under presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, says he "felt called" to join Huckabee's campaign.
Three months before Pinkerton joined the campaign, he recorded an episode of Bloggingheads.tv with Mother Jones editor David Corn. During their conversation, Pinkerton declared that he would handle "American Muslims" by putting "a cop in front of every mosque" in America.
