Clinton was not secretary of state when Syria crossed the 'red line'

“She was there as Secretary of State when there was the line in the sand.” — Donald Trump

“I wasn’t. I hate to interrupt you. At some point we need to get the facts out.” — Hillary Clinton

“Perhaps sadly Obama probably still listened. I don't think he would listen very much anymore. Obama draws the line in the sand. It was laughed at all over the world what happened.” — Donald Trump

Obama said that use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime would be a “red line” in August 2012, when Clinton was still secretary of state. But she was not in office a year later, when evidence emerged that Assad had used chemical weapons, and Obama sought congressional authorization to use force in Syria.
