President Barack Obama said Monday that there’s no clear evidence that the shooter at an Orlando nightclub was directed to conduct his attack or part of a larger plot.
He declared instead in an Oval office press availability that it appears the shooter was inspired by extremist information disseminated over the internet.
And he suggested an anti-gay bias, not a terrorist influence, may be the primary reason for the weekend’s bloodshed in Orlando, Florida.
The president blamed ‘propaganda and perversions of Islam that you see generated on the Internet’ for the mindset that drove a sympathizer with the ISIS terror army to kill 49 people Saturday night, along with ‘the capacity of that to seep into the minds of troubled individuals or weak individuals.’
‘I don’t think we yet know the motivation’ of the shooter, the president said, despite a 911 call the mass-murderer placed before opening fire, in which he pledged his loyalty to ISIS.
