This year, as Newsweek noted, Trump vowed on Twitter to “NEVER FORGET” the 49 people who were killed but made no mention of the LGBT community.Įven Marco Rubio-who scored a “0” on the Human Rights Campaign’s latest congressional scorecard- acknowledged this year in a tweet that the horrific mass shooting was “an attack on the LGBT community.” Last year, after the horrific massacre at an Orlando LGBT nightclub, he tweeted, “Thank you to the LGBT community! I will fight for you while Hillary brings in more people that will threaten your freedoms and beliefs.” And never was Trump’s silence louder this month than on the anniversary of the Pulse shooting.
