Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is a horrible person.
On Wednesday, in the wake of the shooting at the Annunciation Church and School in Minneapolis, where a shooter killed two children and wounded 17 other people while people were at mass, many people offered prayers.
But Psaki attacked those talking about prayers, and even used the moment as an attempt to attack President Donald Trump.
Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers does not end school shootings. prayers do not make parents feel safe sending their kids to school. Prayer does not bring these kids back. Enough with the thoughts and prayers.

When kids are getting shot in their pews at a catholic school mass and your crime plan is to have national guard put mulch down around DC maybe rethink your strategy

She was crushed with the backlash on X. The comments against prayer were disgusting, and frankly the second comment would make you think that she was arguing for the National Guard to be deployed in Minnesota.
Trump’s plan in D.C. is working by all accounts, even according to the Democrat Mayor of the District. So what does that have to do with this shooting in Minnesota?

You’d Never Guess Which Democrat ‘Greatly Appreciates’ Trump’s Federal Surge in D.C.
Then she was on MSNBC later, crying about the shooting. Sorry, but I think the tears are because you’re trying to clean up the backlash from your earlier comments. But she continued to attack people for “thoughts and prayers” and ended up with the Democrat narrative that they always go to: it’s the guns. She rushes past the mental illness, the suspect thinking he was trans, the anti-Trump threat, or any of the other things.
Jen Psaki is a moron. She sobs over the Minneapolis trans sh**ting but refuses to consider she’s been the one wrong about the solution this whole time.
Democrats cause these horrors with their vile and violent rhetoric. The bl**d is on Psaki’s hands.pic.twitter.com/KHRxqu2K1T

I agree with her about one thing: there is always an attempt to shift the focus, but it’s by the Democrats to shift the focus to “let’s ban the guns,” no matter what the facts are. She can’t explain why we’ve had guns forever, yet the school shooting phenomenon is of relatively more recent frequency in our country’s history. I believe it’s people in power holding thoughts like hers that are part of the reason why mental illness has not been seriously addressed when it appears to impact the matter most of the time.
But even if you wrongly think that banning guns is the answer, why this attack on prayer in such a horrid way?
Vice President JD Vance let the anti-prayer group have it for this despicable take, talking about the point of prayer and how shocking it is that the left was attacking it.
It is shocking to me that so many left wing politicians attack the idea of prayer in response to a tragedy.
Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action.
We pray because our hearts are broken and we believe that God is listening.

He then responded directly to Psaki.
We pray because our hearts are broken. We pray because we know God listens. We pray because we know that God works in mysterious ways, and can inspire us to further action.
Why do you feel the need to attack other people for praying when kids were just killed praying? https://t.co/KfTJ71Hcjf

He continued with how bizarre this was.
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?

Vance is exactly right. Talk about an “80/20” issue, this is another bad self-own. Add to the list of embracing illegal aliens, defending crime, now we have Democrats attacking prayer after children praying are killed. And the Democrats wonder why they can’t climb out of the morass that they’re sinking into? Frankly, instead of attacking prayer, they should try it; they might get some help and inspiration to be better.
