GOP presidential contender Mike Huckabee had been leading in one thing -- the most racist tweets delivered during the Democratic debate on Tuesday -- but he can't even win that, not so long as disgraced former Arizona Republican Party chairman Randy Pullen still has access to a keyboard.
After the candidates were asked whether "all lives matter" or "black lives matter," Pullen graced the Internet with this gem:
