Mike Huckabee reacted Sunday on "Fox & Friends" to former Secretary of State John Kerry holding private meetings with Iranian officials.
Former Secretary of State John Kerry is being slammed for conducting shadow diplomacy with Iran after admitting to multiple meetings with Iranian officials behind the backs of Trump administration officials -- including over the scrapped nuclear deal.
An administration official on Thursday told Fox News Kerry’s meetings are "shameful," pointing out what Iranian-backed militias are doing to kill and injure people in Syria, Iraq and Yemen.
Other Republicans suggested it may not even be legal.
"John Kerry is the only guy I know who wants to bring back the Edsel, MySpace and other failed enterprises," Huckabee (R-Ark.) remarked. "What he is doing is not funny."
Huckabee said Kerry could be suited for the first successful prosecution of the Logan Act of 1799, which prohibits conducting unauthorized diplomacy with governments in dispute with the United States.
The act's name refers to a 1798 incident in which Philadelphia farmer George Logan traveled to France, outside the purview of President John Adams, to try to avoid war during a time of tension over merchant shipping.
Huckabee said Kerry is violating the "sense of protocol" for former U.S. diplomats, and that he is effectively "negotiating secretly with a foreign government [and] the largest terror sponsor in the world."
Kerry responded to previous criticism from President Trump, comparing his demeanor to a teenage girl.
Some Democrats floated the idea of prosecuting former Trump National Security Adviser Gen. Michael Flynn [Ret.] under the Logan Act, in regard to allegations surrounding his contact with Russians.
