As lawmakers from both parties rushed to condemn the mass shooting that left 50 dead in Orlando, Republicans appeared to shy away from noting the LGBT connection, while Democrats explicitly brought it up.
Officials say the shooting, the deadliest such attack in U.S. history, occurred at a gay-themed nightclub and is being investigated as a possible act of domestic terrorism. The alleged shooter, who was killed by police, was a U.S. citizen of Afghan descent, leading to fears of an Islamist extremist connection, though his motive has not yet been established.
The attack saw a collision of a number of sensitive issues in U.S. politics — gay rights, terrorism, Islam, gun control and hate crimes -- that have often put Democrats and Republicans at odds. (Republican statements Sunday also avoided discussing gun control.) That the attack occurred in June, the LGBT community’s pride month, which sees celebrations held around the world, added to the tensions....

Because the ‘Rats are obsessed with identity politics. The Republicans are more concerned with America as a whole.
Islam and homosexuality cannot exist in the same society.
Islam and western ideas cannot exist in the same society.
Either you exist as a 3rd rate non muslim citizen in an appartied like society or you will be killed or enslaved.
“Republicans appeared to shy away from noting the LGBT connection, while Democrats explicitly brought it up. “
So the part where the shooter was an ISLAMIC TERRORIST being IGNORED by the Democrats, never was even noticed by this fool?
And who cares if they were gay? Has Islam ever made an effort to spare anyone?
Please Travis, tell me that’s for real.
Looks like they had that in the shelf and ready to go.
Depraved Muzzies versus depraved homos.
Brings back memories of the Iran-Iraq War. I’ll sit in the stands and munch on the popcorn.
““Republicans appeared to shy away from noting the LGBT connection, while Democrats explicitly brought it up. “
Why would repbublicans shy away from this? Their policies had nothing to do with this.
Yup, the self-destructive coalition of libholes is finally falling apart. Let’s just stand back and let our enemies rip each other to shreds.
Democrats and liberals will never understand that not everyone labels people and divides people into groups to manipulate for political advantage.
For conservatives, killing of innocent life is abominable. As a Christian, we care about all people whether.
The worst part isn’t that he was a killer but that he was a HOMOPHOBE!
from the article:
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said, “The pain of this attack in a mainstay of the Orlando LGBT community is surely magnified as our nation celebrates LGBT Pride month.” Rep. Adam Schiff, ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, also noted that LGBT theme of the nightclub.
“...as our nation celebrates LGBT Pride month.” Whaa? Izlam vs. queers = Izlam wins, homos lose!
Gays don’t want to kill us, Muslims do.
Please, libholes, disarm yourselves unilaterally. Please do so.
Her are a sample of the lengths leftists are going to try to cover for this:
“Of course no Republican is bringing up gun control/LGBTQ issues and wanting to frame this as radical Islamic terrorism. This man was: 1) A natural-born American citizen (not an immigrant), 2) Who purchased all of his weaponry legally (rather than on the black market/from Mexico), and 3) Attacked a target for reasons of hatred toward the LGBTQ community (not of the United States generally). That completely shatters their whole narrative of “Law-Abiding citizens” being victims of gun reform and wanting to ban Muslims from immigrating to the United States due to Islamic terror in one fell swoop. This is the exact worst thing that could have happened for them, and they don’t know how to deflect other than to outright lie and say it was an act of Islam-motivated terror. Cowards and liars, all of them.”
The mental retardation
When she says “our nation celebrates” what nation is she referring to?
This murderer was offended by homosexuals in Miami, so he goes to Orlando?
Doesn’t make sense.
He is first confronted by the police outside the homosexual bar and then runs into the homosexual bar?
That’s different than walking into a homosexual bar and opening fire.
Was there a hostage situation?
That’s way different than a suicidal man offended by homosexuality walking into a bar and opening up on people.
Obama released Moslem terrorists from Guantanamo.
Obama owns this massacre.
It that real?
