It's tough to talk about politics in the wake of a terror attack, but it's important to know how politicians, both current and potential future candidates, respond in the wake of tremendous devastation.
Let's begin with Hillary Clinton, who initially tweeted this: "Woke up to hear the devastating news from Florida. As we wait for more information, my thoughts are with those affected by this horrific act."
Clinton later released a full statement, and tweeted out some lines from it, including this one: "To the LGBT community: please know that you have millions of allies across our country. I am one of them."
Donald Trump also responded to the tragedy with a series of tweets, the first at just after 5 AM, when news of the shooting was first made public.
Trump tweeted, "Really bad shooting in Orlando. Police investigating possible terrorism. Many people dead and wounded."
Later in the morning, Trump wrote, "Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism. I don't want congrats, I want toughness and vigilance: we must be smart!"
Then, after retweeting several followers, asking Trump to make the country safe, Trump wrote, "What has happened in Orlando is just the beginning. Our leadership is weak an ineffective. I called it and asked for the ban. Must be tough." He's referring to one of his cornerstone policy proposals, a temporary ban on Muslims.
Following GOP Presidential candidate and Florida Senator Marco Rubio quickly arrived in Orlando, following the attack, calling it a stroke of bad luck. Rubio said, "This could've happened anywhere in the world. Unfortunately, today was Orlando's turn."
Speaking of anywhere in the world, Queen Elizabeth and other world leaders are all tweeting about the mass shooting, expressing their condolences. The Queen of England wrote, "Prince Philip and I have been shocked by the events in Orlando. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who have been affected."
And Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his solitude, tweeting, "Orlando is thousands of miles from Israel, but the tragedy there has deeply saddened me. We Israelis feel your pain as if it were our own."
In light of the Orlando attack, both Trump and Clinton are rearranging their schedules this week. Trump is changing the subject of his speech tomorrow, from an attack on Hillary and Bill Clinton, to an address regarding how he'd deal with terrorism.
And Clinton and President Obama are postponing their Wednesday campaign stop in Green Bay, Wisconsin. No word yet on when that'll be rescheduled.
