ACLU lawyers blame ‘Christian right,’ GOP for Orlando terrorist attack

Written by Teunis Felter

American Civil Liberties Union attorneys believe Christian conservatives are responsible for the mass shooting at a gay bar in Orlando because they “created this anti-queer climate.” About 50 people were killed last night by Omar Mateen, a U.S. citizen born to Afghan parents suspected to have “leanings toward extreme Islamic ideologies.” The FBI is investigating the attack as a “domestic terror incident.” But the ACLU has connected the shooting back to Christians and Republican politicians who oppose gay marriage.
