Congressman John Fleming, M.D. released the following statement in response to the mass shooting in Orlando yesterday which took the lives of 49 people and injured 53 others:

"My heart goes out to the family members who lost loved ones in this vicious terrorist attack. We pray for for them in this time of pain, mourning, and loss. We have lost fellow Americans in this attack, and we must stand together against the threat of ISIS and radical Islam.

"This is not a time for politics, it is a time for mourning. Too many are already going out and blaming the NRA, "the Christian right' or denying that radical Islam is involved or responsible. This constant drive to divide Americans is harmful and plays right into our enemy's hands."
