'What good are your thoughts and prayers when they don't even keep the pews safe?' AOC is widely condemned for New Zealand mosque massacre post - and then insists she was referring to the NRA
New York congresswoman shared clip of Jacinda Ardern speaking about tragedy
Referencing U.S. shootings in places of worship, asked what good are prayers
Later clarified her comments were criticizing NRA, rather than prime minister
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been criticized after she appeared to slam New Zealand's PM Jacinda Ardern for offering 'thoughts & prayers' to the victims of today's massacre.
Sharing a clip of Ardern speaking about the deadly terror attack, she asked: 'What good are your thoughts & prayers when they don't even keep the pews safe?'
The New York congresswoman also said she did not need to 'imagine being told your house of faith isn't safe anymore' because it had happened so many times before.
She then referenced the 2015 Charleston church shooting, in which nine people were killed, the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue attack, where eleven died, and the 2017 Sutherland Springs church shooting where 26 lost their lives.
Although she later clarified that she was criticizing the National Rifle Association rather than Ardern, her comments were widely condemned.

You’re right, AOC, we need to make sure all those people have guns.
Would somebody please flush this turd?. The smell is getting intense.................
The value may be debatable, but that’s all you’re getting.
BFYTW.
Is AOC saying that Muslims smell bad?
This ho can’t keep her mouth shut..........
And hope and change.
What a heartless, godless excuse of a human.
No punchbowl is safe with her around.
She’s such a dingbat. When did they replace muslim prayer rugs with church pews?
Did Ardern even use the word prayers? According to the article:
“Ardern had said in the clip that ‘my thoughts, and I’m sure the thoughts of all New Zealanders are with those who have been affected, and also with the families’.”
AOC is, no doubt, a leftist atheist that has no understanding of what the religious actually believe, but will use every opportunity to tear religion down because it’s an obstacle to total control by the state.
Christians, Jews, and Muslims don’t think their prayers magically protect one from all physical harm and they don’t think their houses of worship are safe from all danger.
Pretty sure Muslims are killing Christians in their churches on the reg Alex.
Bless her heart.
Pews? How about your throw-rugs?
+2. Exactly.
Where is this outrage when a Muslim slaughters Jewish families in Israel? TO BE CLEAR, I am not saying this turd over in New Zealand is anything but a turd.
I am expressing disgust over the selective outrage of Hero to the Stupid and her ilk.
Do mosques contain any pews?
You embarrassing grade A fancy dope
Try substituting school for house of faith
Also ask who the they is who should keep them safe and how
Devaluing my degree every day
Her narcissistic desire to BE the news in every cycle will wear out soon. We will simply not be interested anymore.
Her poor use of her elected position to create a bully pulpit is tiring. Even the “man bun crowd” will look for something less substantial soon. She is the current “IT” because Bernie is just an old white guy who says the right things.
