Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor falsely claimed that the Pulse nightclub shooting was a targeted hate crime against the LGBT community in her dissent opinion.
On Friday, in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, the Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 majority that a Christian website owner was not obligated by law to make wedding websites for gay couples. Sotomayor was one of the three justices in the minority and wrote a dissenting opinion, which she read from the bench.
"Or the Pulse nightclub massacre, the second-deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history?" she wrote when listing examples of America's"social system of discrimination" that"created an environment in which LGBT people were unsafe." “Mateen had never been to Pulse before, whether as a patron or to case the nightclub. Even prosecutors acknowledged in their closing statement that Pulse was not his original target; it was the Disney Springs shopping and entertainment complex,” the Huffington Post reported.
