1. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee:

   We still went into an appeasement mode with the efforts of Chamberlain, it was disastrous, i'm simply saying when you've had 36 years of Iranian threats to destroy Israel ... when they say that they want to be able to destroy Israel and all the Jews by having them in one place ... those aren't my words. Those are their words.

This Iran deal is an insane disaster and this White House has lost its mind.
