“ISIS was founded by radical jihadists, not by the president" says RUBIO

Marco Rubio hedges his bets on Trump

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) doesn't agree with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's claim that President Obama "founded" the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

"ISIS was founded by radical jihadists, not by the president," Rubio said Thursday, according to the Naples Daily News.

Rubio, who is running for reelection in Florida, made the comment in Naples before heading to Orlando to campaign with Trump, according to the report.
