Right After Orlando Attack George W. Bush Takes Matters Into His Own Hands, Does What Obama Wont Following the devastating attack in Orlando, President Obama has yet to contact Florida Gov. Rick Scott about the tragedy. He has not reached out to discuss security measures. Instead, the administration decided to carelessly contact Scott via a White House staffer, breaking away from traditional White House protocol. That is odd given that this is the worst attack we have seen in the United States since 9/11. Gov. Scott confirmed this bit of information in an interview with Fox News Brian Kilmeade. Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi also expressed her frustration about Obamas handling of the tragedy. This isnt about politics right now. This is about Americans, Bondi commented. I believe he should have reached out to the governor of the state of Florida, and he hasnt. When Bondi was asked whether she was disappointed in Obamas decision not to contact state officials, she replied, Of course we are. Both Bondi and Scott have openly endorsed Donald Trump for president. That could be the reason why the president has decided not to reach out. Im responsible for the security of the people in my state, Scott added. Im fed up with the fact that were not destroying ISIS, were not vetting these people, and were not taking care of our own citizens. What about our security, right? Scott asked. Former president George W. Bush did contact Scott, however, offering his condolences. Trump also reached out to show his support.
