Mike Huckabee is always an easy target for The Daily Show, but this time the satirical news program may have topped itself (with delicious bacon).

On Monday night's show, Jon Stewart lampooned the former Arkansas governor, whose recent publicity tour for his new book, God, Guns, Grits, and Gravy saw Huckabee criticizing everything from swearing, to drinking alcohol, to same-sex marriage. On a CNN appearance this weekend, Huckabee also took umbrage with bakeries being forced to sell wedding cakes to same-sex couples, and likened it to a Jewish deli being asked to serve bacon-wrapped shrimp, a very non-kosher item.

Jumping at the opportunity to skewer the antigay politician's faulty logic, Stewart welcomed a bacon-wrapped shrimp to Monday's show, then encouraged the appetizer to be open about who it loves. Watch below with some cocktail sauce:
