(Breitbart) Former Vice President Joe Biden issued a statement Friday to mark the fourth anniversary of the Pulse night club shooting in Orlando, Florida, leaving out the fact that the perpetrator was a radical Islamist loyal to the so-called “Islamic State.”
Omar Mateen, 29, killed 49 people and wounded 68 at the Pulse on June 12, 2016, in what was then the worst mass shooting event in American history. He pledged his allegiance to ISIS “caliph” Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in the course of the attack.
However, the left has since obscured the motives of the murder. The LGBTQ community has claimed it was a homophobic hate crime, even though investigators concluded Mateen had not known the Pulse was a gay night club when he targeted it.
