Jeb Bush Scolds Mike Huckabee for Holocaust Comment
The New York Times' First Draft ^ | July 27, 2015 | Jonathan Martin

ORLANDO, Fla. – Jeb Bush rebuked Mike Huckabee on Monday for invoking the Holocaust in criticizing President Obama over the nuclear agreement with Iran, arguing that Republicans needed “to tone down the rhetoric” if they hoped to recapture the White House next year.

“The use of that kind of language is just wrong,” Mr. Bush told reporters after a town-hall-style meeting here. “This is not the way we’re going to win elections and that’s not how we’re going to solve problems. So, unfortunate remark — not quite sure why he felt compelled to say it.”

Mr. Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas, said over the weekend that Mr. Obama’s Iran policy would “take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven.”

His incendiary language prompted a strongly worded rejoinder from Mr. Obama at a news conference in Ethiopia on Monday.

“The particular comments of Mr. Huckabee are just part of a general pattern we’ve seen that would be considered ridiculous if it weren’t so sad,” Mr. Obama said, linking Mr. Huckabee’s comments to similarly inflammatory rhetoric of late from those he called the “leaders in the Republican Party.”(continued)

Unbelievable. If I didn’t already have good reason to not vote for Bush, I certainly would with this little drama.

AND Donald Trump’s chief guy was being interviewed and totally agreed with Huckabee, even though the ‘journalist’ tried to shame him not to.

Trump’s (attorney I think) agreed because his own farher had to flee the Nazi’s and 90 percent of his family decimated!!

He was very strong in his reply.....just like Trump!
