Republican nominee Donald Trump said Wednesday night that President
Barack Obama and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, founded ISIL.
At a rally in Sunrise, Florida, Trump once again attacked the foreign policy of
Obama and Clinton, saying their policies resulted in the creation of ISIL.
“ISIS is honoring President Obama,” Trump said. “He is the founder of ISIS.
He is the founder of ISIS, OK? He’s the founder. He founded ISIS. And I would
say the co-founder would be crooked Hillary Clinton.”
His comments Wednesday were not the first time he connected Obama to ISIS.
In June, he tweeted an article from Breitbart that said, “The Obama administration
was actively supporting Al Qaeda in Iraq, the terrorist group that became the Islamic State.”
