Wasserman Schultz: Huckabee ‘Owes’ the Jewish and American People an Apology

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BLITZER: “Like several other Jewish organizations, the adl, anti-definition league, is condemning a comment by Mike Huckabee comparing the Iran nuclear deal with the holocaust. In a statement, the ADL national director Jonathan Greenblatt said "Comments such as those by Mike Huckabee suggesting the president is leading Israel to another holocaust are completely out of line and unacceptable." He went on to say "To hear Mr. Huckabee invoke the holocaust when America is Israel's greatest ally and when Israel is a strong nation capable of defending itself is disheartening." Joining us now from Manchester, New Hampshire, is congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chair of the democratic national committee. I want to quickly get your reaction, congresswoman, to Mike Huckabee's comments that this Iran nuclear deal po( ten usually, in his words, opening the door for Israelis to the oven.” 
WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: “Well, I agree with ADL and their sentiments wholeheartedly. It's outrageous and unacceptable for any presidential candidate, any politician to make cavalier references and analogies to the holocaust, no matter how people feel about the Iran deal, no matter where anyone comes out on it, they are entitled to their opinion. They should dissect it. We should debate it. Be to make the suggestion, a, that there is some comparison to the six million Jews that lost their lives and millions of other non-Jews in the gas chambers to preventing Iran in a deal from achooefzing a nuclear weapon is an outrageous, unacceptable analogy and Mike Huckabee owes the Jewish community and the American people an apology.”
