Joe Biden: ‘Tweeted Thoughts and Prayers Are Not Enough’
Breitbart ^ | 05/08/2023 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 05/08/2023 11:41:43 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Part of President Joe Biden’s reaction to the mall shooting in Allen, Texas, on Saturday was to go after Republicans by saying, “Tweeted thoughts and prayers are not enough.”

He was criticizing responses such as Sen. Ted Cruz’s tweet:

Heidi and I are praying for the families of the victims of the horrific mall shooting in Allen, Texas. We pray also for the broader Collin County community that’s in shock from this tragedy.

— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) May 7, 2023

All the details were not known when Cruz sent his tweet, and they still were not known when Biden issued his statement, yet the president made clear he wants Republicans to pivot and support more gun control. Those controls include the ongoing push to open up gun manufacturers to lawsuits over the criminal use of firearms.

Why not do some virtue signalling — it’s the American way. /s

Grabbing guns won’t do anything to stop crime and “is not enough”.

First, Biden is incapable of “thought”. Second, they hate organized Christian religion.

Hey, Joe, if your fellow leftists and their ilk would quit shooting people, gun deaths in the United States would drop to almost zero over night.

as if on cue,

Are you SURE it's only "as if"?

Are you SURE these incidents aren't scripted, staged, and carefully orchestrated?

Joey, I have a feeling the Almighty is hearing prayers about you, except you won’t like it. Nor will your comrades

So the left is trotting out this meme to attack Christian’s after each mass shooting.
Odd.
As in they are somehow thinking Christian’s caused these shootings?
The narrative was put out on this , as a liberal person I know on FB yesterday posted this exact thought.

Actually, it is better than standing on the warm bodies to preach your Communist dogma about guns.

No I am not sure of that at all. Just observing, that when something happens, the gun control debate is always revived.

Yea ... I’ve notice that. For years. It’s just sooooooo convenient.

Pure coincidence, no doubt.

Always reminds me of the movie “Telefon”.

Tell you what Joe, I will continue to pray and you do whatever you do. We’ll see how it turns out in the end.

F u - if that’s your thought then stop lowering the flags to half mast because your virtue signaling is obviously much worse than prayer.
