Comcast issued an apology to former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee on Tuesday after the onetime 2016 Republican presidential hopeful launched into a lengthy Twitter tirade aimed at the cable provider Monday.

The presidential candidate turned top surrogate for President Donald Trump, Huckabee tweeted that Comcast's service was so bad, he'd "rather have Obama back as president than have Comcast."

"Mafia better service than Comcast," Huckabee tweeted. "Sure they shoot you, but it's over with and they don't charge you for the bullet."

A representative from Comcast tweeted back at Huckabee, saying they were "happy to assist with your account concerns" and to direct message them his address or phone number.

Speaking to Business Insider Tuesday, a Comcast spokesperson said the issue involving Huckabee's service was that a technician missed a scheduled appointment. The company is looking into what went wrong.

"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."

Huckabee tweeted late Monday that the problem was rectified.

"@comcast came late today-fixed the stuff-thanks!" he wrote. "They made appt 3 wks ago and didn't show and didn't care...until the "Twit" hit the fan!"
