Sanchez was highlighting the treatment of Zubaydah in the detention facility while speaking of Trump’s plan to hold criminal illegal migrants there. Sanchez himself did not mix up former President Barack Obama with Osama bin Laden — although he did stumble over Zubaydah’s name, according to videos.
