Mayor Jacob Frey's Campaign Manager Thinks It's Insulting to Pray for Children Who Were Shot

As Twitchy reported, Catholics were an afterthought to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who was most concerned with backlash against the transgender community after a man who thought he was a woman shot up a Catholic church, killing two children and injuring dozens more. Fry, who was upset that the public noticed the gender ideology of the shooter, had earlier condemned thoughts and prayers for the victims and their loved ones. "Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers … these kids were literally praying!" he said at a press conference.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard went after Frey and MSNBC's Jen Psaki, who had posted, "Prayer does not bring these kids back. Enough with the thoughts and prayers."

Those like @jenpsaki and @Jacob_Frey who criticize prayers in the wake of the Minneapolis tragedy are expressing the same anti-God sentiment that motivated the shooter— he aimed his wrath at God by trying to stop people with his bullets from praying to God. Now is a time for us…

Frey's campaign manager, a Christian and gun owner, mirrored his boss's comments by saying it was "insulting to Christians" to send their thoughts and prayers "to defend inaction" … on gun control, obviously. Frey called for a nationwide "assault rifle" ban after the shooting, even though the shooter also carried a shotgun (which Joe Biden said every American should have so they could just blindly shoot through the front door if they sensed a threat) and a pistol.

I’m a Christian, a gun owner, and Frey’s campaign manager. I think it’s insulting to Christians to use God as a tool to defend inaction as young children are gunned down in our country over and over again. The Bible calls for prayer and faith, but also for action. https://t.co/rVkAZrd04k

Who is suggesting prayer only? The difference, and I’m sure you know this, is WHAT action specifically to take? People like Frey (and you almost certainly) want to respond by taking guns from innocent people. Which won’t actually help the mentally ill at all

Your premise is flawed. Prayer does not preclude action. You are simply ghoulishly standing on dead and wounded children to demand the action *your* politics want.

Your ideology and policies failed. You can't shift that blame to the rest of the country.

Also, fuck you.

No Christian is suggesting we substitute prayer for action. But when your action is to push a nationwide ban on semi-automatic rifles (because you're a Christian), that's not an action we're going to take.

What kinds of guns do you own, anyway, Schulenberg?
