House Democrats are criticizing congressional Republicans for their response to the weekend’s mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, saying their refusal to call the massacre an anti-LGBT hate crime shows indifference to the gay community.  

CQ Roll Call checked GOP lawmakers’ public statements on the Orlando shooting for references to the fact that the attack targeted gay people, and compared that with their scores on the Congressional Scorecard (PDF ) released by the Human Rights Campaign, a leading LGBT equality group. The scorecard is for the previous 113th Congress, so new members will not have a score.

Speaker Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis., HRC Score: 0

We pray for those brutally attacked in Orlando. While we must learn more about the attacker, the victims & families will not be forgotten.
