WESTON, FLORIDA – DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz issued the following statement on the overnight mass shooting in Orlando:

“This morning, as the American people awaken to news of another horrifying mass shooting, the worst in our country's history, our thoughts are with the victims and their families, the city of Orlando, and the entire LGBT community. Like those before it, this latest mass shooting is senseless and horrifying, and is an attack on the principles we hold dear. For the victims still fighting for their lives in Orlando area hospitals, we encourage everyone who is able to donate blood to visitwww.oneblood.org or calling 1-888-9DONATE.”
