Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is not backing down from accusing President Barack Obama of pushing the Jewish state toward another Holocaust.
This weekend the former Arkansas governor said the Obama administration’s nuclear deal with Iran is “marching the Israelis to the door of the oven.”
Democrat leaders are blasting Huckabee for the comment, with Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz calling his statement “grossly irresponsible.”
But on numerous occasions in recent years, the Islamic regime in Tehran has publicly vowed to wipe Israel off the map.
Huckabee maintains that the president is naive to trust the Iranians.
“We forget Iranians have never kept a deal in 36 years under the ayatollah. There’s no reason to think they will suddenly start doing it,” he said.
Huckabee is calling on Congress to reject the Iranian nuclear deal.
“I read the entire thing. We gave away the whole farm. It’s got to be stopped,” he said.
