The tragic situation in San Bernardino is still going on, but even as it continues to unfold we need to make something very, very clear:



This is terrorism.



That’s not just my view. San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said this afternoon “at minimum we have a domestic terrorism incident that occurred here.”



He’s right. Whether you get your marching orders from an established terrorist organization or are simply a twisted individual intent on causing the terror of innocent people, you're a terrorist.



But we also have to say this: When Paul Ryan and the entire Republican Party refuse to stand up to the NRA and the gun industry and pass common sense gun reforms -- as they did once again just yesterday -- they are aiding and abetting those terrorists. Period.
