Trump Spokeswoman Says He Was 'Very Serious' About Obama 'Founding ISIS'
Source: Talking Points Memo
Trump campaign spokeswoman Katrina Pierson told MSNBC on Friday afternoon that Trump was indeed "very serious" when he said that President Barack Obama founded the Islamic State terror group.
When Pierson was first asked if Trump was being sarcastic, she replied, "yes and no."
Pressed again, she said, "He was being very serious. He was being very serious when he talked about what happened and why ISIS is here today, and it is their fault."
"No, he was not saying that President Obama personally went to the Middle East and filled out the paperwork that incorporated ISIS. That's obviously not what he's saying," she continued. "But what he is saying is that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama had the intel that they needed to make decisions, particularly arming the rebels in Syria, which turned out to be ISIS, and as Gen. Flynn reports, they ignored that willingly and created ISIS."

Sorry to keep stressing this point, but even FOX does not go this far (with exceptions).
RT link that you don't have to click on showing "Gen. Flynn" on Putin media: https://www.rt.com/usa/312050-dia-flynn-islamic-state/
Yes it's "Gen. Flynn" she's citing but he's just an useful idiot mouthing the Kremlin's agenda. He literally PARTIES WITH PUTIN:

I believe this is what's referred to by "stepping on your own dick."
Yes, it also applies to women.
