Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) pretended to buy into author Marianne Williamson’s upstart presidential campaign during the Democratic primary debate Tuesday night, saying he was “feeling real love.”

Huckabee jokingly tweeted about Williamson following one of her standout moments of the debate, saying he may even go so far as to “abandon” his longtime support of President Trump.

{mosads}Williamson drew applause from the debate crowd in Detroit several times throughout the night, including when she decried the “dark psychic force” that she said has been allowed to thrive under Trump.

“If you think any of this wonkiness is going to deal with this dark psychic force of the collectivized hatred that this president is bringing up in this country, then I’m afraid that the Democrats are going to see some very dark days” Williamson said.

The writer is a political outsider among the crowded Democratic primary field and is a self-help author and spiritual adviser to Oprah Winfrey.
