Today’s Reactions After Last Night’s Muslim Mass Murders In Orlando

image005Whenever there’s a crisis or a tragedy during the next 149 days until the 2016 Presidential Elections, the news media will be comparing the reactions and responses of the White House and the Candidates.

image006Obama’s Propaganda Minister Josh Earnest delivered Pro Forma Comments from the White House: President Barack Obama was briefed about the shooting early Sunday and has directed federal officials to provide “any necessary assistance to pursue the investigation and support the community,” blah, blah, blah, and followed up with the predictable Vice President Joe Biden also sent his condolences and is “closely monitoring the situation,” yada, yada, yada.

image006image007Later at a hastily called press conference, Obama called the Orlando Mass Murders an ‘act of terror’ and ‘act of hate,’ but he said we have not as yet reached no definitive judgment on motivations of killer, what is clear is person full of hatred, even though ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack.

image006That was Donald Trump’s cue to blast Obama for not mentioning “Radical Islam,” since two months ago, the White House censored France’s use of the term “Islamic terrorism.” Today, amid the worst mass-shooting incident in American history, Obama once again shied away from that term.

Today’s Predictable Political Reactions went like this:

image006First Hillary’s Campaign Meaninglessly Tweeted: “Woke up to hear the devastating news from FL,” Clinton wrote on Twitter. “As we wait for more information, my thoughts are with those affected by this horrific act.”image008

image006In his time-wasting interview with Chuck Todd on NBC News’ Meet the Press, Sen. Bernie Sanders condemned the attack. “Oh, it’s horrific, it’s unthinkable,” he said. “And just hopes go out to all those who were shot that they can recover.”

image006And Donald Trump, the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee, also commented on the “really bad shooting” using his social media platform.image009

image006A few hours later, Trump sent another message on Twitter asking, “When will we get tough, smart & vigilant?’image010

image006In another message, Trump touted the “congrats” he had received for “being right on radical Islamic terrorism.”image011

image006And just minutes before Obama was scheduled to address reporters from the White House regarding the Orlando shooting, Trump once again fired off another critical tweet:image012

image006And to go for a grand slam, Trump also tweeted out unconfirmed reports of the shooter declaring “Allah hu Akbar” as he opened fire on the nightclub.image013

By Jove, It Really looks like the Trumpster knows how this game should be played.image014image017image018
