US EditionLeavitt slams ‘insensitive’ Psaki on prayer comments after Minnesota shooting
Karoline Leavitt condemned Jen Psaki's dismissal of prayer as insensitive after a Minnesota Catholic school shooting killed two children and injured 17 others, highlighting faith's significance to millions.
- On Thursday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt sharply criticized former press secretary Jen Psaki's remarks, calling them "incredibly insensitive and disrespectful" after the Annunciation Catholic School shooting in Minneapolis where two children died.
- On Wednesday, Jen Psaki on MSNBC argued that "Half the politicians in our country have little more to offer than thoughts and prayers" and posted on X that prayers are insufficient to stop school shootings.
- Vice President J.D. Vance pushed back on Psaki on X, writing, `We pray because our hearts are broken` and asking, `Why do you feel the need to attack other people for praying when kids were just killed praying?`
- Leavitt urged immediate prayer and said she would encourage Ms. Psaki to pray for victims' families while noting investigations into the shooter's gender dysphoria and HHS probes into drug links to violence.
- The debate widened as commentators argued social media users and critics say 'thoughts and prayers' alone won't stop gun violence, while faith leaders have long criticized this rhetoric, fueling the broader public debate over responses to mass shootings.
