John McCain recently placed blame on Obama for the Orlando massacre in which a Muslim terrorist with ties to ISIS killed 49 people. Do you think this is true? Or do you think that Obama had nothing to do with the rise of ISIS?
Is 'Obama Is DIRECTLY Responsible' For #Orlando Massacre?
Republican Sen. John McCain said Thursday that President Barack Obama is “directly responsible” for the mass shooting in Orlando, Florida, because Obama has allowed the growth of the Islamic State group on his watch.
McCain, who lost to Obama in the 2008 presidential election, made the comment to reporters Thursday while Obama was in Orlando visiting with the families of those killed in Sunday’s attack and some of the survivors.
“Barack Obama is directly responsible for it, because when he pulled everybody out of Iraq, al-Qaeda went to Syria, became ISIS, and ISIS is what it is today thanks to Barack Obama’s failures,” McCain said.
When pressed by a reporter, the Washington Post reported, McCain reiterated his point — that Obama should not have withdrawn combat troops from Iraq.
To clarify, I was referring to Pres Obama’s national security decisions that have led to rise of #ISIL, not to the President himself
