After A Horrific Shooting, Democrats Choose to Mock Prayer

Rapid Response

Yesterday, a deranged lunatic murdered two children and injured 18 more in a barbaric shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis.

Instead of questioning whether their violent rhetoric helped radicalize the shooter – who scrawled “kill Donald Trump” on his gun and “ Free Palestine” in his journal – Democrats’ first instinct was to mock prayer.
 


 

That’s right. As the community around Annunciation Catholic was grieving and praying for these children, Democrats decided to attack the idea of prayer itself. 

  • Former Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki tweeted “Prayer does not bring these kids back. Enough with the thoughts and prayers.”
  • Right after the shooting, Minneapolis's far-left Mayor Jacob Frey suggested that prayers for the victims meant nothing.
  • Democrat Senator Mark Warner said prayers for victims and lowering flags in their honor was “bullshit.”

As Vice President JD Vance said, “Of all the weird left wing culture wars in the last few years, this is by far the most bizarre. ‘How dare you pray for innocent people in the midst of tragedy?!’ What are you even talking about?”
