As new information continues to trickle in, helpless to do much else, many people are sending their thoughts and prayers to the victims and to all those affected by what’s happened. Among those offering their prayers are Republican politicians — and the Center for American Progress’ Igor Volsky can’t wait to crap all over them for it:

These Republicans are praying for the victims; Volsky is dancing on their graves. Who deserves to be shamed for their response to today’s deadly shooting? Hint: It’s not the Republicans.
It's sad. This guy doesn't care about the victims, only his narrative. Some of these folks have truly lost touch.

Shame on Volsky, Moulitsas, and all the progs who show their “compassion” for victims by sliming those who pray for them.
Sad to see progressives doing their mocking of prayers for victims of violence. What terrible human beings.
— Gabriel Malor (@gabrielmalor) January 6, 2017
I think progressives don't even realize how unrelatable they appear as they make fun of people who pray for the victims of violence.
— Gabriel Malor (@gabrielmalor) January 6, 2017
You will never persuade people to your cause by mocking them. This is elementary, and yet progressives simply cannot help themselves.
— Gabriel Malor (@gabrielmalor) January 6, 2017
Progressives could at least show some sympathy for the victims before trying to score political points from an atrocity like this.
