Others took to social media to defend Huckabee, however, such as author and political analyst Scott Lamb, who is also a vice president at Liberty University.
"Having interviewed a hundred folks about @GovMikeHuckabee, including dozens and dozens who knew him as a boy and teen, I can attest that he hasn't got a racist bone in his body," Lamb wrote on Twitter.
"He was AHEAD on these issues far beyond his own culture and denomination," he added.
Huckabee thanked Lamb for his comments.
"Hearing from ppl who actually know me is way better than criticism from Fake News and those who pretend they are 'friends,'" the former governor wrote.
