They made it about guns immediately, and refused to acknowledge this was another example of Islamic extremism and Islamic terrorism. So it was politicised as soon as Obama and Hillary opened their mouths, IMHO.BBC news just reported that Trump has suggested that Obama should resign and Hilliary should drop out of the race since neither of them seem able to use the phrase 'Islamic terrorism'
I think it is a bad idea to play politics with this tragedy. Our focus should be towards offering sympathy to the victims and strengthening our defenses. If Trump makes this an election issue then Hillary/Bernie can easily turn it around by linking this to gun control.
Just as it was politicized as religious by the rightwingnuts and Trump.
Both guns and religion were present. Funny how that is.
