Obama: Orlando shooting was a case of ‘homegrown extremism,’ gunman inspired by online propaganda

ORLANDO — President Obama said the gunman who opened fire in a nightclub here on Sunday appeared to be motivated by extremist propaganda online, saying that authorities have not found any links connecting this attacker with other radical groups.

Obama called the shooting a case of “homegrown extremism” on Monday, saying that the gunman appeared to be “inspired by various extremist information that was disseminated over the Internet.” The gunman who carried out the deadliest shooting rampage in American history called 911 during a three-hour standoff with police and pledged his allegiance to the Islamic State, a group also known as ISIS or ISIL, authorities have said.

“We see no clear evidence that he was directed externally,” Obama said during remarks in the Oval Office. “It does appear that at the last minute, he announced allegiance to ISIL. But there is no evidence so far that he was in fact directed by ISIL, and at this stage there’s no direct evidence that he was part of a larger plot.”

“Homegrown extremism” can pivot to NRA members, Tea party people, and anyone who opposes His Great Incompetence.

"..at this stage there’s no direct evidence that he was part of a larger plot.”

Whaaaat? ISIS has been begging their American islamic brothers for the last year to engage in acts of terrorism here in American. ISIS warned of an attack on Orlando 3 days before the shootings. The shooter was deeply involved with a radical imam who had been released from prison during the last year. Dude, ALL the evidence points to a larger plot.

...inspired by online ISLAMIC propaganda, President Moron, as well as by an ex-criminal Muslim preacher in Florida.
