Chief Deputy Whip Patrick McHenry (R, NC-10) released the following statement on the terrorist attack on the Orlando, Florida nightclub which occurred early Sunday morning:

"I join with the rest of the nation in being shocked and disgusted by the heinous attack in Orlando. My prayers are with the victims, their families, and the people of Orlando as they mourn this tragedy. Additionally, I commend the law enforcement and first responders whose quick response saved lives.

"In the coming days, we must continue to learn more about the monster who perpetrated this attack, his motives, and his ties to ISIS and radical Islam. This weekend's attack shows once again these terrorists will stop at nothing to harm America, our people, and the freedoms we hold dear.

"The American people have always rallied together in the face of tragedy. This time will be no different."
