Mike Huckabee would speak at next month's Republican National Convention if Donald Trump asks, the former governor of Arkansas and presidential candidate said Monday.

"He has mentioned to me about that," Huckabee said on Fox News Radio's "Kilmeade & Friends."


Asked by host Brian Kilmeade whether he would do it, as many prominent Republicans, past presidents and nominees have said they are skipping Cleveland, Huckabee replied, "Oh, sure."

"If he asked me, I’d be glad to do it. I’d be honored to," Huckabee remarked, going on to say that those who oppose Trump should not be speaking on the stage at Quicken Loans Arena anyway, adding that people who opposed Mitt Romney, John McCain or other past nominees would not have been given speaking slots, either.

Huckabee also talked up Trump's chances to peel away votes from Hillary Clinton in minority communities, even as recent polling shows him performing poorly.

"Part of the problem is, people in a lot of these communities when they’re asked by a pollster, they’re not about to say, yeah, I’m going to vote for Donald Trump. But they do. And that’s what happened in the Republican primary," Huckabee continued. "People always were shocked by the totals that he ended up with, and part of the reason is the media has so vilified him that if a pollster calls, you don’t really know who it is, and so it’s what happened at the Brexit. And people will say, ‘Uh, let’s see, I think what I’m probably supposed to say and what would be most polite and most sophisticated would be to say, oh, no, I’m going to vote to Remain. Oh, no, I’m going to vote for Hillary. But when they actually go vote, they’re voting their passion, not their expectancy."
