US ‘created’ Daesh terrorist group, 2024 presidential hopeful confirms

Latest US 2024 presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has blamed Washington for creating the notorious Daesh terrorist group, the subsequent crimes perpetrated by its elements and the flow of millions of West Asian refugees to Europe.

“The police are corrupt. We created ISIS (Daesh). We drove two million refugees up into Europe and destabilized democracy for a generation in Europe. They called it Brexit,” said the 69-year-old anti-vaccine activist and environmental lawyer, who is also a nephew of President John F. Kennedy and the son of his slain brother Robert F. Kennedy, in remarks on Wednesday in Boston, Massachusetts while announcing his presidential bid.

Kennedy is the first candidate from the ruling Democrat Party to challenge fellow party member and 80-year-old US President Joe Biden, who has declared his intent to run again in 2024, although not officially yet.

The newest presidential hopeful further went on to lash out at previous administrations in Washington for wasting eight trillion dollars on the US-led military invasion of Iraq, while squandering another 16 trillion dollars on coronavirus lockdowns.

Kennedy then sternly castigated US authorities for spending a total of 24 trillion dollars for “nothing except for the devastated middle class in the United States of America,” insisting that Americans “need to put an end” to the process.

He further slammed school and business closures during the coronavirus pandemic and insisted that government and media “lie to us.”

“My mission over the next 18 months of this campaign and throughout my presidency,” he said, “will be to end the corrupt merger of state and corporate power that is threatening now – threatening now – to impose a new kind of corporate feudalism in our country; to commoditize our children, our purple mountain’s majesty; to poison our children and our people with chemicals and pharmaceutical drugs; to strip-mine our assets; to hollow out the middle class and keep us in a constant state of war.”

Back in August 2016, then Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump also accused standing US president at the time Barack Obama of founding the Daesh terrorist group.

“In many respects, you know, they honor President Obama,” Trump said during a raucous campaign rally outside Fort Lauderdale, Florida. “He is the founder of ISIS.”

He repeated the allegation three more times for emphasis.

Trump has repeatedly accused former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of founding the infamous terrorist group, and said "crooked Hillary Clinton" was actually the group's co-founder.
