A bit misplaced I agree, but he told her what the residents wanted to tell her to her face. Sorry, but why now after a massacre is she speaking in their defense when they needed her during Court cases in the past? Other Attorney Generals refused to defend their states' marriage bans, she wouldn't have been alone in that. Some of the couples who sued for marriage did it just to be able to visit loved ones in hospitals for example. The very thing couples are able to do now in Orlando because of the Supreme Court, not her.
I put up a colorful hand-holding thing on my website, after never posting anything pro-gay before.
She might not have anything against LGBT personally, but to allow a lawyer to write that gays getting more rights would cause "public harm" is alarming (check out the actual court argument:
The Court should also deny the preliminary injunction motions because there is no likelihood of success on the merits, there is no immediacy requiring a preliminary injunction, and disrupting Florida’s existing marriage laws would impose significant public harm.”
Even if she didn't write that herself, she's the Attorney General so she REVIEWS everything that is mailed out. What she should've done was tell the writer "No, that's too much. Only mention that voters picked NO, don't say things like this, please".
It's good that's she's getting out there and keeping one eye on things, but she knows she done messed up and she still tries to justify her actions rather than say I'm sorry, I should've stood up for you guys sooner. Just own up to it, that's my problem with her responses.
A simple "I shouldn't have approved that Court document" or "Yes, the case was too dragged out" would be enough.
What does he think is going to happen? This is just plain disrespectful at this point. I hope HRC doesn't give into anything he wants.
Not the edited excuse 
They could have unloaded his dirty laundry before GE season where more people are likely to forget stuff (like who even remembers him mocking McCain for being a POW lol). I know that the primary voters don't particularly care but if they were focused on winning the election, the could have started vetting him well before he got the presumptive nomination.
