US ambassaor to Israel Mike Huckabee made a joke with embassy staff about what to do now as they have been asked to shelter in place and suggested that they should procreate. It was not a verbal joke but was written in a memo reviewed by the Washington Post. The report said the memo was sent to US diplomats, local staff and family members and referred to the extended time they were getting to spend at home as the embassy asked them to remain near their residences.
“If the extended time with your spouse results in the birth of your next child in about nine months, I of course expect that you will want to name the little bugger after me!” Huckabee wrote, according to the memo cited by The Washington Post. “If it’s a girl, Michelle is a nice name too,” he added.
