A gunman opened fire on an outdoor music festival in Las Vegas early Monday, killing at least 50 people and wounding 200 more. It is the deadliest shooting in modern American history.
“All of those affected are in our thoughts and prayers,” Sanders said.
Police have identified the suspect as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock of Mesquite, Nevada.
Tweet, Pray, Think.
(Trump really only does one of these things).
“Warmest condolences?” FFS!
I have no doubt that his first questions were “Was he a Muslim? Was he black?” Yes, my cynicism is the country in which we now live.
He will not handle this tragedy as an actual president would.
@candirue - I doubt that thought or prayer even comes into his process. More like Tweet, Blame.
“We are monitoring the situation closely and offer our full support to state and local officials,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement.
Because it’s not like it’s some island of browns surrounded by water, this is America!
God bless you!
Exclamation point?
Why not Have a nice day!
You missed the smiley face you orange pustule
Yeah I thought warmest seemed kinda creepy too. He just seems to has no practice at sympathy whatsoever.
