One person was killed and three injured after an alleged white supremacist opened fire at the Congregation Chabad synagogue in Poway, Calif., Saturday afternoon, the last day of Passover. Of course, people of social media blamed President Trump, despite the fact that all the anti-Semitic rhetoric and cartoons have been coming from Leftists recently.
As Twitchy reported, Kellyanne Conway called out prolific tweeter Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who was too busy in Puerto Rico to tweet about the terrorist attacks that killed more than 250 people on Easter Sunday in Sri Lanka (though she did find time to promote her new Netflix documentary).
California Gov. Gavin Newsom also seemed to draw a blank on that Easter Sunday massacre when tweeting about recent attacks at religious sites.
Charleston, Pittsburgh, Quebec, New Zealand — now our own Poway, California.
No one should ever fear going to their place of worship.
Hate continues to fuel horrific and cowardly acts of violence across our state, country, and world. It must be called out. CA stands with Poway.

He managed to mention the mass shooting in Christchurch, but how about a little love for the Sri Lankan Christians who were bombed during Easter service?
It feels like something's missing from that list…

Missed a couple, Gavin.

Governor, Why are you omitting Sri Lanka? Are Christians less deserving of compassion? Was that attack not hate?

Don’t forget hundreds of Christians in Sri Lanka!

You seemed to forget about those "Easter Worshippers". Wonder why?
— Russ Beto (@longr6) April 27, 2019
You fail to mention Sri Lanka. Is that because the victims were Christians?
— Chaz Parker (@ChasParker1) April 28, 2019
Mentioning Christians being massacred in Sri Lanka in a follow-up tweet would be a good idea.

You excluded Sri Lanka, where Muslims slaughtered Christians just a week ago.
— Jose Galvan (@Jose_Galvan) April 28, 2019
Sri Lanka just 1 week ago?! But, hey, they were only Catholics, right??

What about Sri Lanka?
— intuitive PIIG (@IntuitivePig) April 28, 2019
You forgot Sri Lanka, Sir.
— Trail Snail (@mckinnon_mh) April 28, 2019
You conveniently forgot Sri Lanka.
— Most Likely Eric Swalwell ?? (@shaneriderMA) April 27, 2019
You forgot Sri Lanka or don’t Christians count too?
— Melanie Lawson (@Proudokie62) April 28, 2019
You "forgot" Sri Lanka
— CalicoCalypso (@WayfaringGirl) April 28, 2019
DON'T FORGET SRI LANKA!!!!!
— Scott Post (@scottwpost) April 27, 2019
Sri Lanka? Or don’t Christian lives matter?
— Mrs Lauren Altesse (@makegoodsoup) April 28, 2019
For us that have watch your political career for decades, it’s going to be depressing watching you run for President #SriLanka
— Todd Roy (@TheToddRoy) April 28, 2019
But not Sri Lanka? What motivation do you have to leave out an attack that is fresh on the worlds minds but highlight ones that are much older?
It's not the implement, it's the sicko who uses it against others.— Mateo Moltovich (@mateomoltovich) April 28, 2019
Unconscionable to omit Sri Lanka.
— NelCorr (@nel_corr) April 28, 2019
Gavin didn’t forget Christian Hate Crimes – He just doesn’t want California to ‘stand with them’
— Trumponidas (@PbxGeek) April 28, 2019
Sri Lanka had nothing to do with a gun agenda people… stop mentioning it. He did leave out Oak Creek though.
— Karen Nancy Rosie (@lookidontcareok) April 28, 2019
Since you've started with Charleston (2015) and are going international, you left out:
– Normandy church attack
– Coptic church bombing in Egypt
– Cathedral bombings in the Philippines
– Samarinda church bombing in Indonesia
– Lahore church bombings
– Sri Lanka church bombings— Christian Gagnon (@InEgoVeritas) April 28, 2019
You left out some brown people
— Karen Nancy Rosie (@lookidontcareok) April 28, 2019
Never mind the “Easter Worshippers”.
— Starvin' Arvin (@VetArvin) April 28, 2019
Guess Sri Lanka is old news… or maybe it never was news for you?
— Jonathon VanderWall (@Janderwall) April 28, 2019
A Tweet edit button could help right about now….
— Sam (@The_Sambone) April 28, 2019
Seriously, the most recent estimates are that more than 250 Christians in Sri Lanka lost their lives in places of worship on the holiest day of their calendar. The media really didn’t show much interest in that attack on churchgoers.
