I think the word that you are searching for is ...

Kim Davis bookended by Mike Huckabee and her third husband
I think the word that you are searching for is neo-theocrats.

I am honestly not offended by the fact that Davis considers herself a good Christian in spite of the fact that she ignores the words of Jesus prohibiting re-marriage after divorce.
I am honestly not offended that she thinks that same-sex marriage is wrong in spite of the fact that Jesus never once said a thing about homosexuality. (And if you think that homosexuality wasn't present in the ancient world of Greeks and Romans, you might consider reading Plato's Symposium, for example, a work that holds up as a model of mentoring a curious mix of pedagogy and pederasty.) 
Kim Davis and Mike Huckabee are part of a religion that calls itself Christian but only loosely aligns with Christ's teaching. I don't have a problem with that. It's pretty normal.

I do have a problem with the fact that Huckabee doesn't dress more like Davis's husband. It would better signal what to expect when he talks.
