In an exclusive live interview with Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee on Tuesday’s NBC Today, co-host Matt Lauer scolded the former Arkansas governor for his strong criticism of President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran: “It seems to me the irony here is you’re taking a pro-Israel stance, but in explaining that stance, you have offended people in Israel and Jews all around the world.”
Huckabee pushed back: “Hardly.” Lauer asserted: “Yeah, heartily. Yeah, the Israeli ambassador to the United States calls your words ‘inappropriate,’ some fellow Republicans have called them offensive and outrageous, and the Anti-Defamation League spokesperson called them ‘completely out of line and unacceptable.’ And you're not backing down an inch?”
