Stacey Dash Praises Donald Trump, Slams President Obama in Wake of Orlando Shooting
Stacey Dash used the murder of at least 50 people inside gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando, Florida Sunday morning as an opportunity to praise Donald Trump and bash President Barack Obama.
In the wake of the worst mass shooting in U.S. history, Dash, who is notably anti-transgender, insinuated that shooting suspect Omar Mateen was a registered Democrat and voted for Obama, and that a Trump presidency would be tough on Islamic terrorism.
My heart and prayers are with the LBGT community. This atrocity would not go unanswered under President Trump I promise!! #PrayingForOrlando

Twitter uses were quick to call out Dash — who recently said trans people should use the bathroom "in the bushes" as to protect the safety of her children — for using the massacre as a moment to campaign for Trump and to remind her of her blatant hypocrisy.
@REALStaceyDash WTF? Why are you making this tragedy political?
@REALStaceyDash I see you have still remained Clueless.
@REALStaceyDash You said trans people should go to the bathroom in the bushes. Keep your prayers.
Authorities have yet to release an official motive for the shooting. Mateen's father said his son became "enraged" after seeing two men kiss in Miami months earlier. Manteen also reportedly had ties to ISIS.
