Romney: Clinton’s Reset Button Should’ve Been Called ‘Repeat Button’

Former GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney told Meet the Press’ David Gregory Sunday morning that the deteriorating situation in Iraq was “predictable” due to the Obama administration’s continual underestimation of geopolitical foes — while acknowledging that the “vast majority” of blame for the Iraq situation lay with the Iraqi government.

“The United States has long had the capacity to shape events and to influence events,” Romney said. “But what you’ve seen from this administration, whether form Hillary Clinton, with the reset button to Russia — which, by the way, should have been called the repeat button — this administration from Hillary Clinton to President Obama has repeatedly underestimated the threats that are faced by America, has repeatedly underestimated our adversaries. Whether that’s Russia, or Assad, or ISIS, or al Qaeda itself, it has not taken the action necessary to prevent bad things from happening. It has not used our influence to protect our interests.”
