Fox News host Brian Kilmeade recently attacked President Trump over his decision to pull troops out of Syria. Sarah Sanders, Trump’s Press Secretary, decided to come to the president’s defense as a result.
According to The Daily Wire:
The bi-partisan frustration over President Trump’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria continues to grow. Now Brian Kilmeade of “Fox & Friends” suggested that the president has “re-founded ISIS” by pulling out.
As reported by The Hill, Kilmeade gave his explosive criticism of the president during an interview with White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Friday morning.
“He also is doing exactly what he criticized President Obama for doing. He said President Obama is the founder of ISIS,” Kilmeade told Sanders. “He just refounded ISIS because they have 30,000 men there and they are already striking back with our would-be evacuation. The president is really on the griddle with this.”
Sanders pushed back against Kilmeade’s characterization of the consequences of the president’s actions, asserting that blaming Trump for ISIS resurrecting itself is “outrageous.”
No evidence exists to show that ISIS is resurging, and it remains unclear the plan the United States will take to ensure stability in the region.
