Fox Analyst on Obama’s Speech: It’s Clear War on Terror Not as ‘Close to His Heart’ as Gun Control

Fox News media analyst Howard Kurtz said that it was clear from watching President Obama‘s speech in Orlando that fighting the War on Terror was “not as close to his heart” as gun control.

“I think President Obama today gave a very emotional speech, unfortunately, as you said, he’s had a lot of practice at it, paying tribute to the victims and also pivoting toward gun control,” Kurtz said, speaking to Chris Wallace.  But he does that with an intensity that he lacks when he talks about the War on Terror.”

Kurtz continued: “I think everybody can see that. It doesn’t seem like it is as close to his heart.”

The country, he said, was fearful and angry that such another event could occur despite the fact that the killer had been under two FBI investigations prior to the attack.
