The Hill implies (as did many others over the weekend) that Hezbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah is
backing Donald Trump.
The leader of Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group agreed with
Donald Trump when he said President Obama founded the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
"This
is an American presidential candidate who is saying this. What he says
is based on facts and documents," said Hassan Nasrallah, according to
The Associated Press.
Trump on Wednesday called Obama the founder of ISIS and Democratic presidential nominee
Hillary Clinton the co-founder.
He doubled down on the claim Thursday in an interview with Hugh Hewitt.
“No,
I meant that he’s the founder of ISIS,” Trump said. “He was the most
valuable player. I gave him the most valuable player award."
But Friday, Trump tweeted that he was being facetious.
"Ratings
challenged @CNN reports so seriously that I call president Obama (and
Clinton) 'the founder' of ISIS, & MVP. THEY DON'T GET SARCASM?"
Jonathan Schanzer has the best retort I've seen to the entire Trump/Nasrallah/ISIS story.
Indeed.
