Mike Huckabee Volunteers to Go to Jail in Place of Ky. Clerk Kim Davis

2016 presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee showed up to a rally on Tuesday in support of recently-freed Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis, with Huckabee offering to take Davis' place should she be forced to return to prison.

The rally was held Tuesday after Davis was released from a five-day prison stay, and Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas, was photographed leading Davis into the rally as the song "Eye of the Tiger" played.

Huckabee also emceed part of the rally, telling the crowd that he would be willing to go to jail in Davis' place if need be.

"If somebody needs to go to jail, I'm willing to go in her place," Huckabee told the crowd.

Davis was released Tuesday and ordered by U.S. District Judge David Bunning to allow the issuing of marriage licenses to gay and straight couples in her office. 

The clerk's lawyer, Mat Staver with the Liberty Counsel, said in a statement that although Davis has been released from jail, she will continue to follow her conscience.

"We are pleased that Kim Davis has been ordered released," Staver said, adding that "she can never recover the past six days of her life spent in an isolated jail cell like a common criminal because of her conscience and religious convictions."

Another 2016 GOP hopeful, Ted Cruz, also reportedly offered his support for Davis, but according to some media reports was blocked by a Huckabee staffer as he attempted to greet Davis outside of jail.
