Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee let “the Twit hit the fan” Monday after dealing with customer service at Philadelphia-based Comcast.

The former presidential candidate took to Twitter to bash the global telecom conglomerate when a technician failed to show up for a scheduled appointment.

How bad is @comcast service? I’d rather have Obama back as President than have Comcast.

He didn’t stop there. He continued.

Mafia better service than @comcast Sure they shoot you, but it’s over with and they don’t charge you for the bullet.

Again.

By the time @comcast shows up to fix THEIR problems after they missed THEIR appt today, my 5 year old grandson will be graduating college.

And again.

Is @comcast the United AL version of cable/internet/phone? Has anyone else had DEPLORABLE dealings with @comcast? #tincans&string

Comcast apologized, chalked it up to a scheduling issue, and fixed the problem.

“We completely understand Governor Huckabee’s frustration and are so sorry that we missed yesterday morning’s scheduled appointment,” Comcast spokesperson Jenni Moyer said in a statement to Business Insider. “We worked to send a technician to the Governor’s home as soon as we learned about this and are happy we were able to resolve the issue that same day.”

But Huckabee wasn’t so quick to let Comcast off the hook.

@comcast came late today-fixed the stuff-thanks! They made appt 3 wks ago and didn’t show and didn’t care…until the “Twit” hit the fan!
