LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee says the U.S. should respond more strongly in support of political protesters in Iran.
Huckabee told a gathering of Southern Baptist pastors in Louisville, Ky., that the U.S. should push for an investigation of the disputed election in Iran and push to allow media outlets into Iran to report on the unrest.
The ordained Baptist minister and former Arkansas governor says God is hearing the protesters' voices. He said, "God help us if we do not hear their voices" and stand with them.
After his speech, Huckabee grabbed a guitar and performed a hymn with a band on stage.
The pastors are gathering ahead of a Baptist convention that begins Tuesday.
