Sunday afternoon U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO) posted a tweet about the mass shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub in his district and didn’t mention anything about the victims or that it was a crime of hate.

He’s received so many angry responses he turned off responses. Congressman Lamborn, first elected in 2006 after serving eight years in the state Senate, has a long history of anti-LGBTQ actions and a few racist ones as well. “I am saddened to hear of the senseless loss of life in the shooting last night.

Law enforcement and first responders are to be commended for their rapid response. All people should pray for the victims and their families,” Rep.

Lamborn tweeted. He posted the exact same message to Facebook, and received similarly angry responses. Lamborn also issued the exact same statement as a press release.
