Hillary Clinton omitted “prayers” from her tweet on the Orlando terror attack:
Woke up to hear the devastating news from FL. As we wait for more information, my thoughts are with those affected by this horrific act. -H

Could the omission of “prayers” been intentional? If you recall, she was the one who said “thoughts and prayers” aren’t enough:

DNC chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has gone this route, too:
Devastated to hear of the shooting last night in Kalamazoo, MI. Our thoughts and prayers are not enough. We must act to stop gun violence.

And, of course, there was that awful “prayer shaming” cover of the New York Daily News going after conservatives who offered up prayers after mass shootings:

And from Think Progress:
ThinkProgress fully embraces 'prayer shaming' of do-nothing politicians https://t.co/vUQqZxvqmL

Perhaps it was just an oversight in today’s tweet, but Hillary has included “prayers” for other terror attacks:
“Let America ‘be that great strong land of love.’ That is more than poetry…that’s a prayer.” —Hillary quoting Langston Hughes

To everyone in Houston, please stay safe and avoid traveling. Our prayers are with you. #HoustonFlood -H

My prayers are with the victims of the horrific Easter Day attack in Lahore. Pakistan and all nations must confront & defeat terrorists. -H

My thoughts and prayers are with the families of those killed and wounded, and all the people of Belgium. -H

"Our prayers are with the people of France tonight, but that is not enough." —Hillary https://t.co/vFQltalvzF pic.twitter.com/q1Zb7XSKg9

Or is a terror attack in the U.S. different because liberals have made an issue of conservatives who offer prayers?
