Nazi Germany in 1938 annexed territory in Czechoslovakia as part of the Munich Agreement, only to have Hitler invade the rest of the country later on. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) thinks that what we're hearing now of the Obama administration's deal with Iran over the country's nuclear program is "echoes of history."
Cruz joined fellow Republican senators to sign a controversial letter to Iran warning Iranian leaders that any deal Obama makes with them will first have to be approved by Congress and may not last.
"I believe we are at a moment like Munich in 1938," Cruz said during an interview on The Hugh Hewitt Show. "And indeed," he added, "Prime Minister Netanyahu's address to Congress last week was Churchillian in its clarity and moral gravity."
