Donald Trump demanded Friday that Hillary Clinton apologize for the "death and destruction" that she has caused during her four years as secretary of state.
"Her failed decisions as secretary of state unleashed ISIS on to the world," the Republican nominee told supporters in Dimondale, Mich. "But has she ever apologized for the death and destruction she has caused? No.
"Look at the world before and after she became secretary of state: In early 2009, Iraq was seeing a reduction in violence. Libya was somewhat stable. Syria was under control. The group we now know today, ISIS, was close to being distinguished. Iran was being choked by sanctions.
"Now, take a look at what we have: Iraq is in total chaos. Syria is in the midst of a disastrous civil war — and a refugee crisis now threatens Europe and the United States, where we're taking in thousands and thousands and thousands of people."
He said that the Islamic State "has been unleashed onto the entire world. Iran, the world's top state sponsor of terrorism, has been put on the path to nuclear weapons and was given $400 million in ransom payment cash."
Trump also cited the 2012 Benghazi attacks that killed four Americans and her missing emails as debacles that also deserve apologies.
"Hillary Clinton is a legacy of death, destruction and terrorism," he said. "America deserves a better legacy."
