Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum has blamed the United States for the creation of Daesh (ISIL), after the terrorist group claimed responsibility for the Paris attacks.
At least 129 people were killed in multiple coordinated attacks on Friday night in one of the deadliest assaults to hit the French capital since the World War II. Some 352 were also injured -- including 99 who are in critical condition -- in the attacks.
On Saturday, ISIL claimed responsibility for the attacks, calling them “the first of the storm” and denounced France as a “capital of prostitution and obscenity.”
Speaking at a GOP meeting in Orlando, Florida, on Saturday, Santorum said US President Barack Obama and former Foreign Secretary Hillary Clinton are responsible for creating Daesh.
He said that the terrorist group “is a creation of a political decision by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to abandon Iraq — against all of our generals’ recommendations, against all of the policy recommendations.”
“Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, under her watch, decided politics above the security of our country and the stability and security of the world,” said Santorum, who served as a senator representing Pennsylvania from 1995 to 2007.
