They’re such hypocrites!
Here’s DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz on today’s terror attack in Belgium. Her “thoughts are with Brussels”:
My thoughts are with Brussels today and with everyone working to keep Belgium safe. We won't let fear and terror triumph over peace.

And here she was after the mass shooting in Michigan in February with a slightly different take on the power of positive thoughts immediately following a tragedy:
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.

Got that? Thoughts and prayers are only appropriate on issues she doesn’t want to politicize.
Flashback. Remember when the prayer shaming of GOP politicians was all the rage? We certainly do:
ThinkProgress fully embraces ‘prayer shaming’ of do-nothing politicians
Will ‘thoughts and prayers’ detractor Sen. Chris Murphy call out himself and these other Dems?
Hateful hypocrisy: Progs slam ‘thoughts and prayers’ — except when it’s convenient
