As former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AR) doubled down on Tuesday on his earlier comments that the proposed anti-nuclear deal with Iran was akin to marching Israelis to the “door of the oven” at a concentration camp, his party’s spokesman refused to criticize his remarks.
Though Jewish groups have widely panned the presidential candidate’s remarks as “completely out of line and unacceptable” and “the most inexcusable we’ve encountered in recent memory,” Republican National Committee Chief Strategist & Communications Director Sean Spicer told CNN that he would not “sit here and condemn someone for how they talk about a particular policy.”
New Day host Alisyn Camerota asked Spicer if he was comfortable with Huckabee’s Holocaust language. He responded that, “Governor Huckabee made his comments, he clearly then articulated why he made them — with the clip you just made — and they can speak for themselves.”
