ANALYSIS: TRUE. Fiorina: Obama took a ‘victory lap’ on ISIS before Paris attacks.
Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina on Saturday lambasted President Obama for saying the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) was “contained” hours before a terror attack massacred Paris.
Fiorina said she was “angry that just yesterday morning, hours before the Paris attacks began and against all the evidence, President Obama declared ISIS ‘contained’ and took a victory lap.”
She also censured the president for downplaying ISIS’ dangerousness last year.
“They are not a JV team, Mr. President,” Fiorina said at the 2015 Sunshine Summit in Orlando, Fla. “They are not contained. They are at our shores and their measure of victory is the body count.”
Obama has shown no signs of making ISIS a priority for elimination.
