Left POUNCES on Mike Huckabee over weird double-photo tweet saluting Capital Gazette journalists

We assume this was done in error, because, WTH? Why are there two photos of Mike Huckabee in this message on the slain journalists in Maryland?

A big salute to the staff of the Gazette, who despite being traumatized and losing staffers to death and injury, vowed that the next day’s edition would come out, and they worked at home and got it out.https://t.co/KTvxSuVFVL pic.twitter.com/dVJ7cpH9S9

More from the link above, which is a rather nice statement:

Meanwhile, a big salute to the staff of the Gazette, who despite being traumatized and losing staffers to death and injury, vowed that the next day’s edition would come out, and they worked at home and got it out.  In a time when journalism has been driven into low regard among the public by some of its more visible practitioners’ bias, egomania and lax regard for fact-checking, the Gazette staff just reminded the world what real journalistic professionalism and courage under fire look like.

But here come the memes:

It’s not just me, right? Huckabee “saluting” and posting two pictures of himself is really weird, isn’t it? https://t.co/Ld3dGLpGdS
