/President Biden issued a statement Saturday commemorating the five-year anniversary of the Pulse nightclub massacre in Orlando, Fla.
The attack by gunman Omar Mateen left 49 dead at the LGBT nightclub, marking the deadliest act of Islamic terror on US soil since 9/11. Mateen was shot dead by police.
“In the coming days, I will sign a bill designating Pulse Nightclub as a national memorial, enshrining in law what has been true since that terrible day five years ago: Pulse Nightclub is hallowed ground,” Biden wrote.
But the statement curiously omitted any references to Islamic terrorism or the Islamic State — to which the shooter declared his allegiance shortly beforecarrying out his deadly rampage.
“I pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi of the Islamic State,” Mateen said in a 911 phone call.

Instead of talking terrorism, however, Biden leaned on the old Democratic standby that the attack was part of the larger problem of the “epidemic of gun violence” and launched into a laundry list of policy proposals like new gun control measures and LGBT rights legislation.
