Sanders Campaign Manager: Hillary's Foreign Policy Caused ISIS

[LebaneseDude 6,146]

Looks like the **** has hit the fan lmao

Via Mediaite:

Well, this might be a tough one to walk back. In the aftermath of a feud that started when Bernie Sanders thought he heard Hillary Clinton say he was “quote-unquote not qualified to be president,” Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver isn’t just doubling down on the attack, he’s flipping over the table and slapping the pit boss. In an interview with CNN’s Carol Costello Thursday morning, Weaver stood by the Senator’s “not qualified” attacks on Hillary Clinton, and added a new item to the list that Sanders ticked off last night: the rise and expansion of ISIS. Yes, that happened.

Weaver:

“I think if you look at her record and campaign, her campaign is funded by millions and millions of dollars from Wall Street and other special interests. She’s made a deal with the devil, and we all know the devil wants his money in the end. So that’s the kind of campaign she’s running. She supported the terrible trade deals which have devastated American manufacturing in the country. She supported the war in Iraq. She continues to have a very, very hawkish foreign policy that has led to the rise and expansion of ISIS throughout the Middle East.”

It wasn't George Bush's policies or anything. The GOP-like desperation is getting real.

Best comments I've seen:

That's a load of bullshit and Sanders should be ashamed of himself. ISIS is a direct product of Bush & Cheney's complete bullshit war. Say what you want about Saddam Hussein, he was the only thing keeping **** together over there and preventing an ISIS from forming. EVERYONE knew this before the war and ISIS is the Creature created by the Bush/Cheney Frankenstein administration.

I call total bullshit on this. ISIS is the result of George Bush and that is where the blame should be directed. 
This blame game will turn off voters and we'll end up with a republican president. Whatever the Clinton/Sanders differences they better wake up and realize that without party unity neither has a chance of being elected.

Sorry to see the Sanders campaign starting to go off the deep end. Up until recently the way he ran his campaign was among the best things about him.

 

K Sanders supporters. What do you think? You getting life from this? Snatch ha weave Queen Weaver. Do the GOP's job for them

The reason ISIS was created was because Maliki abused the Sunni minority in Iraq and they formed a military group to overthrow him. That group became ISIS.

Who put Maliki into power? Obama/Clinton foreign policy. I see no lies.

ISIS is a result of the Iraq war, a war Hillary herself supported while secretary of state. Did she cause ISIS, no of course not, she is however a major role player in the chain of events that influenced their rise. That's sort of just an inconvenient truth. 

Hillary herself blamed Bernie for Sandy Hook so it's entertaining to see you jump at the opportunity to produce a clickbait title like this.

The title was longer but I had to shorten it because it didn't fit. It was originally: 

Sanders Campaign Manager: Hillary’s Hawkish Foreign Policy Led To The Rise & Expansion Of ISIS

It's pointless to argue that she had no part in it, given she was in politics, but to pin this on HER specifically is something the GOP would too.

Blame your entire government in that case.

Again, I don't support anyone. Voted against Trump when it came to my state's primary. Idk why you call me a Trump supporter... However I don't expect much from the likes of a Hillary supporter

 This. Hillary had a far more significant role in the creation of ISIS while in the senate and as Secretary of State that Sanders did with Sandy Hook.

Where in his quote did he say "Hillary directly caused the rise of Isis" Oh right, he didn't. The media continues to spin his and his campaign's words.

I was kidding :P Note the "Don't make us feel bad" that gave some level of acknowledgement to your post in a humorous tone. You aren't exactly 100% wrong.

Oh and I honestly thought you were pro-Trump. Oops. Sorry

He says her policies caused ISIS. 

It's like saying the Crimean War happened because Napolean invaded Russia.

Sure they're related but it's not her fault.

[LebaneseDude 6,146]

Oh and let me point out that the point of the topic was to show how the **** has hit the fan.

I fail to see where he said it was her fault either. She voted for a war which caused destabilization in the region which in turned helped lead to the rise of ISIS. There's no denying that. That's the point he was making and he is 100% correct.

But bringing it up in such a manner as if it was her fault is hilarious. ISIS is a very controversial topic right now and bringing her name in correlation to it is pretty desperate way to smear her.

She VOTED for the war so she caused ISIS. It wasn't Bush/Cheney's initiative. Nope. It was HER fault. Lmao

 So I guess the Bush Administration going over there and starting a war in the first god damn place (to get rid of Saddam Hussein), had nothing at all to do with it at all eh?!  Oh okay then...  *rolling eyes*  🙄
