'What good are your thoughts and prayers when they don't even keep the pews safe?' AOC is widely condemned for New Zealand mosque massacre post - and then insists she was referring to the NRA
New York congresswoman shared clip of Jacinda Ardern speaking about tragedy
Referencing U.S. shootings in places of worship, asked what good are prayers
Later clarified her comments were criticizing NRA, rather than prime minister
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been criticized after she appeared to slam New Zealand's PM Jacinda Ardern for offering 'thoughts & prayers' to the victims of today's massacre.
Sharing a clip of Ardern speaking about the deadly terror attack, she asked: 'What good are your thoughts & prayers when they don't even keep the pews safe?'
The New York congresswoman also said she did not need to 'imagine being told your house of faith isn't safe anymore' because it had happened so many times before.
She then referenced the 2015 Charleston church shooting, in which nine people were killed, the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue attack, where eleven died, and the 2017 Sutherland Springs church shooting where 26 lost their lives.
Although she later clarified that she was criticizing the National Rifle Association rather than Ardern, her comments were widely condemned.

New Zealand is out there somewhere close to Puerto Rico so she might have thought it was the 51st state.
Hell is full of people like her.
I can’t even fathom living an hour with the deranged mind of a maniac like her.
If thoughts and prayers have no value, then we have erased our humanity.
Listen, bitch ... my “house of faith” isn’t safe ... that’s why I’m armed.
..... That is what I found curious about AOC's comments. She is not even aware of Islamic Worship.
.... The fact is that the "Pews" will never be safe in Mosques ..... Because Mosques never have seats or pews like churches, the reason being that when Muslims pray they move around. Standing, bowing, kneeling, and touching the forehead to the floor etc.
Remove God from public schools and public life, embrace degeneracy, godless socialism and import the Muslim cancer and the quality of life will erode.
Shouldn’t it be Persian rugs, rather than pews?
Since the perp is Australian, he obviously didnt fly down to NZ with those guns so he bought them in New Zealand, since guns are so heavily regulated over there, how was he able to get so many without detection?
She had to think of some other reason for her words as someone must have told her that muslims don’t SIT IN PEWS....
I have never seen any pews or seats in pics of the inside of a mosque.
They kneel on prayer rugs, IIRC.
AOC is dumber than my fence posts.

She’s an island “expert”. Puerto Rico, New Zealand, Gilligan’s Island, etc.
You forgot Long Island City.
Thanks COUNTrecount.
