I‘ve long been a critic of Mike Huckabee (as well as a skeptic about his chances in 2016), but I now feel compelled to come to his defense after the controversy he caused by making an accurate observation about President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran.

Huckabee came under fire after telling Breitbart News, “This president’s foreign policy is the most feckless in American history. It is so naive that he would trust the Iranians. By doing so, he will take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven.”
