A host for MSNBC has recently criticized former Arkansas Governor and 2016 presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, saying the politician's recent comments on the U.S.-Iran nuclear deal are a "deal breaker" and "it should be over for him."

Mika Brzezinski, host of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," recently spoke out against comments made by Mike Huckabee regarding the nuclear arms deal recently reached by the U.S. and Iran, when the former Arkansas Governor said the deal would "take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven."

The GOP presidential hopeful has received criticism for his comments from those who disagree with the politician's reference to the Holocaust when discussing the recent Iran deal.

Brzezinksi added to the criticism this week on "Morning Joe," beginning by saying: "I really like Mike Huckabee."

 "He's been a friend of the show for years. He's sat at this table many times. He's smarty, witty, charming. [...] I don't agree with everything he has to say but I love that he's a man of deep religious convictions, or so I thought," she continued. 

"If you've been to Auschwitz, if you've been to Birkenau, if you've been to any of these places where people were killed, and you see the piles of glasses, the piles of hair, the piles of shoes, and the piles of clothes and every bit of their humanity that had to be stripped away, handed over, as they went and then burned to their deaths, among other things, it's really not a good comment to say," the host continued.

"It's a deal breaker! It should be over for him. You don't say that. And, by the way, if you said it by mistake, that's a sign of who you really are," she added.
