1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: And I know that the LGBT BE community in particular 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: has been shaken by this attack. It is indeed a 3 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: cruel irony that a community that is defined almost exclusively 4 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: by whom they love is so often a target of hate. 5 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 1: And let me say to our LGBT friends and family, 6 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: particularly to anyone who might view this tragedy as an 7 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: indication that their identities, that their essential selves, might somehow 8 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: be better left unexpressed or in the shadows. This Department 9 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 1: of Justice and your country stands with you. In the light. 10 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: We stand with you to say that the good in 11 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: this world far outweighs the evil, that our common humanity 12 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: transcends our differences, and that our most effective response to 13 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: terror and to hatred is compassion, to unity, and its love. 14 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: All right, That was Lauretta Lynch. Our most effective response 15 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: to terror and to hatred is love. It's compassion. You know. 16 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: The idea that compassion and love will defeat radical Islamic 17 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: terrorists that are sliding a slicing people's throats and terrorizing 18 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: all of us and bombing and killing innocent men, women 19 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: and children and going into nightclubs and shooting them up, 20 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: you know, is beyond anything I have ever heard in 21 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: terms of its ignorance. And I said this yesterday. Just 22 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: just imagine Winston Church of tiles sweat and tells, will 23 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: beat them here, We'll beat them in the hills, will 24 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: beat them in the land, on sea and in the Ah. 25 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: He was a hero. Or FDR's response to the Japanese 26 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: at Pearl Harbor. You know, I just cannot believe the 27 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: mindset
