My heart goes out to the victims of the tragedy in Orlando. This act of terror and hate has reverberated across our Nation with a goal to divide us and instill fear against those who simply wish to express themselves and live their lives freely. We cannot let fear lead us to single out an entire community or take our focus away from fighting terrorism. We cannot allow politics to distract us from coming together and passing commonsense gun reform. We must stand up against hate in all of its forms and the weapons that allow our enemies to too easily violently express it. That is something we all stand for. We must act. The victims and their families of Orlando deserve no less. ____________________
