Hillary Clinton criticized the National Riffle Association on Monday morning while offering her condolences to the victims of a mass shooting in Las Vegas this weekend that left at least 50 people dead and more than 400 people injured.
“Our grief isn’t enough,” the former Democratic Party presidential candidate tweeted. “We can and must put politics aside, stand up to the NRA, and work together to try to stop this from happening again.”
Clinton’s statement was one of the most politically charged among prominent politicians who weighed in on social media in the hours after the attack. She writes in her book “What Happened” about how the United States needs to change its gun laws to prevent mass shootings.
Barack Obama and Bill Clinton also tweeted their support for the victims.
“Michelle & I are praying for the victims in Las Vegas,” Obama tweeted. “Our thoughts are with their families & everyone enduring another senseless tragedy.”
“Thinking of the victims and responders in Las Vegas,” Bill Clinton tweeted. “This should be unimaginable in America.”
According to police, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock opened fire on attendees of the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival near the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on Sunday evening. The victims were apparently shot with a high-powered assault rifle from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel, with police confirming shortly after midnight that Paddock had been killed in a standoff with authorities.
President Donald Trump offered his sympathy for the victims of the attack, the worst in U.S. history.
“My warmest condolences and sympathies to the victims and families of the terrible Las Vegas shooting,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “God bless you!”
I guess it is a loose interpretation of her comments, that allows the MSM to determine that Hillary was offering condolences.
TOTAL HOLE.
Slams?
Blames!
One fat ugly obnoxious commie beoch that should have been locked up long ago.
Will this beast ever die or just go away????
“Must put politics aside stand up to the NRA”
serpent speaks with forked tongue
That filthy, dishonest POS demands to “put politics aside”, and then engages in communist political demagoguery.
We can and must put politics aside and prosecute Hillary Clinton for her crimes.
The lying Bitch of Benghazi should be in prison.
And this after Hill telling us her father taught her to shoot. I won’t believe anything this woman says again.
At least she waited until all the facts were in. /s
And she did that because she is a disciple of Saul Alinsky. Everything is liberal politics to her. Everything has a political angle to it, in her world. Everything to her requires a half assed political statement. Any compassion she has is incidental to the need to make her Alinsky pot stirring comments.
Blame game dame...
NRA has saved more lives than you or your charity have.
Don’t let a tragedy go to waste, eh bitch?
Her and her Marxist ilk cause these things.
Hillary: Good to know you’re still an idiot.
ISIS called for a lone wolf attack on the Las Vegas Strip in a chilling ‘call to arms’ video released in May, 2017
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4940156/ISIS-video-called-lone-wolf-attack-Las-Vegas.html
A propaganda video by ISIS that emerged in May called for a lone wolf attack on the Vegas Strip.
The video the terrorist group that showed footage of Caesar’s Palace, the Bellagio Hotel and other icons from the casino row on South Las Vegas Boulevard.
Though the footage has been determined to be from 2015, authorities deemed the threat credible - particularly in the wake of the Manchester Arena massacre, and as the then coming Memorial Day holiday weekend which was expected to bring big crowds to The Strip.
‘I think anytime somebody goes on the internet and makes a threat that they’re going to conduct a lone-wolf or any type of attack, it’s our responsibility to view it as a credible threat,’ Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Capt. Christopher Darcy, who heads the Southern Nevada Counter-Terrorism Center, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
This was a GUN-FREE-ZONE!
Maybe the signs weren’t big enough

This latest maniac UNDOUBTEDLY voted for her, and probably thought he heard her (inner voices) telling him to do this.
Liberal politicians should know by now that anytime they slam the NRA and guns a few of their wacked out insane followers will hear it as a call to “do something”.
