Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez(D-N.Y.) on Friday tore into the National Rifle Association after at least one gunman opened fire at two New Zealand mosques, leaving at least 49 people dead.
The New York lawmaker condemned the fatal attack on Twitter, focusing her message on the American gun group.
“At 1st I thought of saying, “Imagine being told your house of faith isn’t safe anymore. But I couldn’t say ‘imagine,’” the lawmaker wrote, citing the deadly shootings at a Charleston, S.C. church, a Pittsburgh, Penn., synagogue and a Sutherland Springs, Texas church.
“What good are your thoughts & prayers when they don’t even keep the pews safe?” She added.
Ocasio-Cortez noted that “thoughts and prayers” is a reference to the NRA phrase she says is “used to deflect conversation away from policy change during tragedies.”
I’d like to see a meme with “Duncing Queen”.
It is true that today’s miracles are not included in the scriptures.
Yes, God has given us many blessings and does answer our prayers as He sees fit.
Perhaps, the New Zealand Rifle Association would have the acronym, NZRA?
Perhaps, she actually meant the NRA (National Rifle Association)? Can you say NRA slowly?
I'd like her to explain what the National Rifle Association Of America has to do with anything that happens in New Zealand.
