AG Lynch on Orlando: ‘There Is No Doubt that This Was a Shattering Attack’

"I’m deeply moved by the way that this community and our national community has stood together in support of one another in defiance of terror and in defense of our most cherished ideals. And let us be clear, those ideals include the understanding that our diversity makes us stronger and that no matter who we are, what we look like, where we are from, or who we love, this extraordinary nation belongs to us all. I know that the LGBT community in particular has been shaken by this attack. It is indeed a cruel irony that a community that is defined almost exclusively by whom they love is so often a target of hate."
