Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee got a little silly on April Fools’ Day, joking that “alt-left” social media users had done him in, and would be deleting his Twitter account forever.
The former presidential candidate tweeted late Friday that he “was sick of being ridiculed” by “alt-left” Twitter trolls, and would be signing off.
I’m sick of being ridiculed by hateful and intolerant mean alt left loons. I’m deleting my Twitter account because I can’t take it anymore.

Huckabee let some time pass before he came out with a second tweet, “April Fools! I’m not deleting.”
My previous tweet? April Fool’s! I’m not deleting-I think alt-left loons should. Or at least follow someone who cares. I sure don’t!
