How to use unseemly in a sentence?

  1. Mike Huckabee:

    I'm less concerned about what faith the person has. I'm more concerned about the authenticity of their faith and how that plays out in their politics... I'm also concerned about a guy that believes he's a Christian and pretends to be and then says he is, but then does things that makes it very difficult for people to practice their Christian faith, i'm disappointed if someone says,' I'm a Christian,' but you invite the pope into your home and then you invite a whole bunch of people who are at odds with the Catholic Church policy. I think there's something very unseemly about that.
