Mike Huckabee: 'I don't have to defend everything that I've ever done'

Mike Huckabee on Sunday attempted to distance himself from his past as a spokesperson for dubious dietary supplements.

"I don't have to defend everything that I've ever done," Huckabee said on Face the Nation when asked about his peddling of pills supposedly capable of reversing diabetes.

Moreover, the former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate claimed it was a "misnomer" to say he was selling pills because the pills were only one part of a health plan he promoted. —Jon Terbush
