Speaking today in Ethiopia at a press conference with prime minister Hailemariam Desalegn, President Obama had some words to say about Mike Huckabee’s grotesquely offensive statement that the deal with Iran will “take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven.”

Obama commented:

“The particular comments of Mr. Huckabee are, I think, part of just a general pattern we’ve seen that is, would be considered ridiculous if it weren’t so sad. We’ve had a sitting senator call John Kerry ‘Pontius Pilate.’ We’ve had a sitting senator, who also happens to be running for president, suggest that I’m the leading state sponsor of terrorism. These are leaders in the Republican Party.”
