Not surprised. This is exactly the sort of reaction you get from a gaggle of scared children. Trump obviously didn’t follow their advice.
Via Mediaite.
According to a report from NBC News, the Republican Party officials asked Donald Trump not to speak out in the wake of the Orlando terrorist attack, a request Trump decided to ignore.
“A source who works closely with the Trump campaign, granted anonymity in order to speak freely to NBC News, said after Sunday’s attack that the party had asked the candidate to offer condolences and then to stay silent,” they reported Monday afternoon. “Trump clearly chose a different approach.”
Did he ever; Trump first courted controversy by appearing to crow about being vindicated by the attack. “Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don’t want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance,” he tweeted. Later, he tweeted out an unsubstantiated rumor claiming that the killer shouted out “Allahu Ackbar” during the shooting.
Perhaps most controversially, Trump strongly implied Monday morning that Barack Obama was either a secret Muslim or identified in some way with radical Islam. “We’re led by a man that either is not tough, not smart, or he’s got something else in mind…” he said on Fox & Friends. “There’s something going on.”

Good to see that the McCain advisor, Don’t say Hussein, is still employed. Not.
No wonder the RNC is O-fer in the last 2 elections and 2 for 6 in the last half dozen trips to the plate. Batting .333 might be OK for a major league baseball player, but it’s not for us if we want to lead this nation to be the best it can be. Time to bring on a pinch hitter and then some serious relief pitching from the bullpen. Batter up!
