GWEN IFILL:

We turn now to politics.

Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump both scaled back scheduled campaign events today in the wake of the Orlando shooting.

Both responded to the tragedy, in very different ways.

HILLARY CLINTON (D), Presumptive Presidential Nominee: Today is not a day for politics.

On Sunday, Americans woke up to a nightmare that's become mind-numbingly familiar, another act of terrorism in a place no one expected. This is a moment when all Americans need to stand together. No matter how many times we endure attacks like this, the horror never fades. The murder of innocent people breaks our hearts, tears at our sense of security, and makes us furious.

DONALD TRUMP (R), Presumptive Presidential Nominee: The bottom line is that Hillary supports policies that bring the threat of radical Islam into America and allow it to grow overseas, and it is growing.

In fact, Hillary Clinton's catastrophic immigration plan will bring vastly more radical Islamic immigration into this country, threatening not only our society, but our entire way of life. We need a new leader. We need a new leader fast. They have put political correctness above common sense, above your safety, and above all else. I refuse to be politically correct.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
