President Obama is scheduled to deliver a statement Sunday at 1:30 p.m. on the mass shooting at a nightclub in Orlando.
The shooting left 50 people dead and 53 others injured. The shooter open fired in the club and took hostages before he died following a shootout with SWAT members.
I hope he starts the speech with, “Fuck the NRA. They have contributed to the deaths of more Americans than ISIS and Al-Qaeda combined, through their lobbying efforts to ensure that assault weapons and high-capacity magazines and unlimited ammunition are available to every man, woman and child in America.”
Will there be a link to it, as is usual here at TPM?
I’m going to watch on the WH website. Refuse to patronize those cable news assassins of democracy and critical thinking.
Thank you – great idea!
As usual, great speech by President Obama; however, his words were stilted, almost (but now) showing anger. Am I right to suspect he knows more but can’t say because he’s waiting on verification? In the first few words of this speech, he made it clear this was an act of terrorism. He didn’t say “domestic.” I can tell there’s a lot on his mind.
