I'm heartbroken by the senseless violence that took place last night in Orlando. Every American deserves to live with dignity, respect, and freedom from the ki...nd of unimaginable hatred we saw last night. Today and in the days to come, we will grieve for the lost and for their families and loved ones. And today and every day, we recommit ourselves to an America that values the dignity, equality, and decency of all men and women. I am thankful for the courage of the first responders who bravely put themselves in harm's way. My thoughts and prayers tonight will also be with the LGBT community that mourned today. ‪#‎Orlando‬
