Today on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Secretary of Defense Mark Esper joined anchor Jake Tapper to discuss the raid that killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Esper described the death of al-Baghdadi as a “devastating blow” to a terrorist organization that has launched horrific attacks across the world. “This is not just their leader, it’s their founder. He was an inspirational leader in many ways,” Esper said.
