GOP senator: Clinton played ‘central role in creating a home’ for ISIS

Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) in an interview Sunday criticized Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton for the “disastrous” decisions she made while serving as secretary of State.

“I think you talk to her about some of the judgment issues that she made in actually running the department, but if you think back to the decisions that were made in 2011, they were really disastrous,” Corker, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman who is supporting presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, said on ABC’s “This Week.”

Corker said Clinton’s campaign team feels that her record at the State Department makes her “incredibly vulnerable.”

“If you look at the Libyan incursion, which I think will be a textbook case for what not to do in making foreign policy decisions, unbelievable decision. Then you look at the precipitous leaving of Iraq and then you look at encouraging the modern opposition in Syria and never following through,” he said.

“I think that they feel that she’s very vulnerable and I think that’s why these attacks are being made.”

Clinton went on the attack against Trump last week regarding his ability to serve as the country’s commander in chief. In a speech, she called Trump “temperamentally unfit” for the White House.

She called Trump’s ideas “dangerously incoherent” and “just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds and outright lies.”
