Calls For Lynch To Resign Over Claim That 'Love' Is Best Response To Terror

Attorney General Loretta Lynch is getting a tongue-lashing from Republicans for her claim that “love” the best tool to fight terrorism.

“Our most effective response to terror and hatred is compassion, unity and love,” Lynch said after meeting with officials in Orlando, Fla., on Tuesday — a week after a gunman at a gay nightclub killed 49 in the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history.

“Our most effective response to terror and hatred is compassion, unity and love,”

Yea, that dysfunctional ideology worked out real well for Europe.
What the hell is she Angela Merkel's distance cousin ?

both are suffering from Brain-rot!

Political pablum remarks are hardly worthy of this kind of criticism.

She didn't announce that the Justice Department was going to switch to hugging murderers, after all.

Pretty much all our politicians issued some kind of functionally meaningless blather about the killings.

Unless it's an actual policy announcement, it's not worth the effort to fuss about it.

If every time a presidential appointee said something stupid they had to resign it sure would leave a lot of empty seats in Washington....at least until another partisan appointee was found that could get through conformation hearings by convincing senators they are non-political.

OMG!
Really?!?!?!
Large Ordinance Vertically Effectuated?!?!


Oh.
Darn.
So basically "blah blah blah, puff piece, blah blah blah I'm a PC government employee politician."

resign over a call to love

get elected over suggestions to divide and distrust


will wonders never cease

the next terrorist you see shooting up a place, go give them a big hug for me...

nah, I think the bigger point is about not sinking to the level of others

someone is hateful enough to kill, others respond by stepping up to help and heal the effected


let love be stronger, and hate will remain the exception, instead of turning into the rule

If someone comes in and starts shooting up a place I am in the last thing I am going to do is tell him I love him. I am going to kill him.

Merkel's just playing it safe use of Germany's history.

There is a famous story about hate.

There was a boy who grew up with his parents. His mother was the nicest, sweetest person to him and his father was an absolute monster beating the boy and belittling the boy all through out his life. The boy grew up resenting and despising the father, hating him.

Later on in life the boys mother died. He was sad, but didn't cry at the funeral. Later in life his father died and the now boy who was now a man was beside himself, couldn't stop balling and was inconsolable because he spent his whole life hating the father and there now was nothing left to hate.

This story was told to General Reynard Heydrich by Dr. Kritzinger at the Wannsee Conference after he announced the execution of Jews to the top ministers of the Third Reich. That was Kritzinger's warning (Kritzinger and Dr. Stuckart were the only to two oppose the final solution at great personal risk to their lives) to Heydrich and Eichmann and the Nazi Party.

It is a 100% true story and I believe it still stands strong today.

I doubt that was what she was proposing,,

Dementia at such an early Age!
Tsk,tsk,tsk,sad thing!
Definitely ought to resign for Incompetence!

whatever... hasn't worked since time began, and you liberals keep paddling on that sinking ship...

hasn't worked to do what?

what goal do you think is missed by love and unity?

what does love and unity have to do with stopping terrorists?

love and unity have to do with community and survival

the things terrorists try to destroy

Loretta Lynch Should Resign

War on Terror: What's the best way to fight terrorism? If you're Attorney General Loretta Lynch, the correct answer is "love." So it's official: Americans should abandon any pretense that we're being protected by our government from the terrorists who would murder us.

No, we're not making this up. Speaking recently about the June 12 attack on the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Fla., by a radical Islamist, Lynch said the motive "may never be known."

"May never be known"?

Omar Mateen, who cold-bloodedly and systematically slaughtered 50 people in the nightclub, pledged allegiance to the Islamic State as he gunned down gay men and lesbians, the 911 transcripts show. Nor was that his first indication of terrorist leanings.

The FBI had earlier conducted a nearly yearlong investigation of Mateen, who told acquaintances that he was a member of the terrorist Islamic group Hezbollah and that he had relatives who belonged to al-Qaida. His later Facebook posts made clear his intent: He vowed revenge for U.S. airstrikes against ISIS in Syria and pledged allegiance to the Islamic State.

So, yes, it's pretty clear why Mateen committed mass murder. Unfortunately, we have an administration that can't even bring itself to utter the words "radical Islamic terrorism."

But Lynch really went over the top when asked how to fight terrorism. "Our common humanity transcends our differences," she said, sounding more like a beauty pageant contestant than the nation's top law enforcement officer, "and our most effective response to terror is compassion, it's unity and it's love."

This would be funny if it didn't endanger more Americans' lives by making terrorists believe we're all as clueless as the attorney general.

Worse, this sends a very clear message to terrorists that Americans are too cowardly and foolish to defend themselves against extreme religious hate. So the terrorists that murder in the name of Islam will come again and again -- until we stop them.

Lynch's capitulation to evil is reminiscent of Neville Chamberlain's sad little piece of paper, which he and Adolf Hitler signed, guaranteeing "peace in our time." He waved it proudly after his triumphant return, no doubt also thinking that Hitler's "common humanity transcends our differences." Sadly, appeasement told Hitler that Britain was weak, and he began the slaughter and subjugation of millions.

What's frightening is that Lynch holds a central job in our national security apparatus. Her department oversees the FBI and is on the front lines of the federal government's response to terrorism and other horrific crimes. That she believes the proper response to mass murder is "unity" and "love" makes a travesty of our government's obligation to defend us from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Americans can no longer have any confidence in Loretta Lynch as attorney general. Lynch should resign immediately.
