Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez mocked the tendency to resort to prayer in the face of tragedy after 49 people were killed at mosques in New Zealand on Friday, and even suggested the phrase “thoughts and prayers” was devised by the NRA to distract from the issue of gun violence.
Four people have been arrested, and one charged with murder, in connection with mass shootings that took place at two mosques in the New Zealand city of Christchurch during mid-day prayer on Friday.The first attack, at the Linwood Mosque, resulted in seven dead and ended when an armed congregant pursued the gunmen and fired on them. A second shooting at the Al Noor mosque claimed 41 lives.
“At first I thought of saying, ‘Imagine being told your house of faith isn’t same anymore.’ But I couldn’t say ‘imagine,’” Ocasio-Cortez said in her first reaction to the massacre. “What good are your thoughts & prayers when they don’t even keep the pews safe?”But I couldn’t say “imagine.”What good are your thoughts & prayers when they don’t even keep the pews safe?pic.twitter.
