Cheney Says Obama Backed Muslim Brotherhood

Rep. John Fleming (R-LA) told the Daily Beast that Vice President Dick Cheney said to House Republicans this morning that President Obama “has actually done things that have supported the Muslim Brotherhood.” The former vice president then went on to name the Muslim Brotherhood as “the beginning of all the Islamist groups that we’re dealing with now like Hamas and ISIS.”

In Fleming’s account, Cheney said that by “facilitating the Muslim Brotherhood…our policies have been exactly opposite to where they should be.”
