President Donald Trump on Monday marked the one-year anniversary of the deadly mass shooting at the gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando, vowing in a tweet that America will “Never Forget” the 49 victims who lost their lives in the tragedy.
But for many of his critics, his sentiments came a year too late.
On the day of the shooting on June 12, 2016, before most of the victims were even identified, Trump, then a candidate, sent out a tweet congratulating himself on “being right on radical Islamic terrorism.”
“Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism,” he wrote at the time.
