Speaker Ryan: Editing Orlando Shooter’s 911 Call ‘Preposterous’

Speaker Paul Ryan is calling on President Obama to release the Orlando shooter’s full 911 call transcript, without censoring references to ISIS.

In a statement, Ryan called the Obama administrations decision to censor, “preposterous.”

“Selectively editing this transcript is preposterous. We know the shooter was a radical Islamist extremist inspired by ISIS. We also know he intentionally targeted the LGBT community. The administration should release the full, unredacted transcript so the public is clear-eyed about who did this and why.”

Ryan’s statement follows a report that references to Islamic terrorism would be edited out of the transcript.
