A college student sharply questioned Jeb Bush Wednesday on former President George W. Bush's foreign policy, saying "Your brother created ISIS."

After a town hall event in Reno, NV, the nineteen year-old student confronted the likely presidential nominee, who has stumbled in recent days over the question of whether he would have authorized the invasion of Iraq.

"My question is why are you saying that ISIS was created by us not having a presence in the Middle East when it's pointless wars when we sent young men to die for the idea of American exceptionalism?" she said.

Bush told the woman "We respectfully disagree."

"Look, you can rewrite history all you want, but the simple fact is that we're in a much more unstable place because America pulled back," he replied.
