Related: About this forumHighlights From Hillary Clinton’s Speech
Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton gave a statement in Cleveland today about the shooting in Orlando. By
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS on Publish Date June 13, 2016. . Watch in Times Video
Hillary Clinton addressed the massacre in Orlando, Fla., on Monday, one day after the deadliest mass shooting in American history, during a speech in Cleveland where she outlined her broader plans to combat terrorism.
Here are the highlights:
Mrs. Clinton, invoking a nightmare thats become mind-numbingly familiar, said it was not a day for politics. The shooter may be dead, she said, but the virus that poisoned his mind remains very much alive.
Mrs. Clinton said that despite some progress in combating Islamic State forces on the ground in Iraq and Syria, the group would seek to stage more attacks wherever it could. She pledged to make the targeting of lone wolves a top priority as president.
Noting that the shooter in Orlando, Fla., had been on the F.B.I.s radar, Mrs. Clinton said the country required more resources for this fight and called for the removal of weapons of war from the streets.
Mrs. Clinton, noting the acrimonious national debate over guns, said everyone should be able to agree that If the F.B.I. is watching you for suspected terrorist links, you shouldnt be able to just go buy a gun.

That is the issue this week. Guns and hate. Hillary advocates gun control, acceptance and cooperation.
