President Trump was recently in Israel, where he ate some dessert, and so was Mike Huckabee. Did you know that the former Arkansan governor plays the bass? Yeah, he does. In a cover band called—what else?—Capital Offense. I didn’t know this, that Mike Huckabee plays the bass. Apparently, he brought his axe to Jerusalem and set up shop with a kippah-clad band for a rendition of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama,” a song that, sigh, never dies. Shout out to Jewish Insider’s Jacob Kornbluh for the vid. Enjoy?
