“These noble American warriors laid down their lives in the line of duty. They sacrificed themselves for the country they loved. Racing against time to rescue their fellow citizens from harm’s way.”
Shortly after these remarks, the former president made the political statement claiming that the terror attack would not have happened had he won the 2020 presidential election against Joe Biden.
“This tragedy should never have taken place, it should never have happened, and it would not have happened if I was your president,” Trump remarked.
The ISIS jihadist terror group claimed responsibility for the attack.
