Thoughts and prayers aside, children died and continue to die due to a lack of gun control in America. This remark is Leavitt feeling threatened by a real press secretary who happens to care about the bigger picture. Shows us how fragile their little egos are.

@presssec.bsky.social Nobody cares what YOU think, Karrie. @jenpsaki.msnbc.com is absolutely right. If you pray, pray for all the grieving families. You can't pray guns away.

The kids were literally praying...wtaf!

If god is so good, why do very bad things happen to good people, even those who pray all the time? For prayer to work, god has to micromanage all our lives. It doesn't. So, instead of complaining about those who speak the truth, speak the truth about guns for once in your sanctimonious life lady!

She needs to read the part of the Bible that says "Faith without works is dead."

Yeah, but KL gets to climb up on her cross and act affronted. And isn't that what is really important?

It’s disrespectful that the GOP and Trump do nothing to protect the population from guns . GFO

it's insensitive and demeaning to those who know some fictional character in the sky isn't going to stop what man created. Their god picks and chooses who should live and who should die? Innocent children, included? It's the guns, dummy

YEAH CARLYING YOUR PRAYERS CAN'T BRING THEM BACK TO THEIR FAMILIES,STFU

It’s the fucking guns, you deplorable nitwit!

They were praying when they got shot FFS

Hide behind that little cross --- what a horrible hypocrite. CHILDREN are dead because they love GUNS more than anything else.

Christofascists like Karen Leavitt don't have any Christian beliefs or values. They use Christianity to increase their power, no matter how many children get killed in the process. It's just one of the tools they use to destroy our democracy. Accusing opponents of lacking Patriotism another tool.

KKKarolyin was more upset about her religion under fire than she was about any collateral damage, dead children and adults being shot. They don't care that it was a church. Or a synogue, a nightclub, a school. They erase the Pulse 🌈 because it reminds them of the blood money they are still taking.

Faith without works is dead. “thoughts and prayers” is not works

Kids that were at Mass praying.

“Thank you, Ms. Leavitt, but you aren’t being paid to think.”

Troll - utter troll

K UNT

Word.

* Trump built a staff of incompetent sycophants so he could dictate through them, speak through them. All of the Trump Fox News appointees administration is the voice of Donald Trump. This is a fascist dictatorship administration. There are no experienced professional people in the room.

If prayer worked, Trump would be dead.

You sure got that right!

Prayer stops bullets? Or brings murdered children back? This is absurd thinking!! This administration is filled with nincompoops.

You are just propping up the gun lobby by hiding behind religion, Psaki meant prayers are useless if you make no effort to prevent access to automatic weapons. If you prevent people getting these weapons there's no need for prayer. You know that though, you are all just acting like asses.

Can SOMEONE?...... ANYONE?.... PLEASE ask this hypocritical cross wearing bitch.... "WHAT is the NINTH COMMANDMENT?" PLEASE!

“There is something deeply hypocritical about praying for a problem you are unwilling to resolve.” -Miroslav Volf

Can I ask her if prayers can stop Putin?😏

Priorities

Spare me your bullshit you lying piece of shit !

Precisely…

Love your sense of humor! I know you love them.😘

Cats are NOT useless!

Not to me but I am biased

I saw that cross bobbling between your fat fake tits KKKaroline and I thought it was really disrespectful to the 10s of thousands of Americans who believe in the separation of church and state.

There is no power in prayer u less it leads to action (gun control).

Must be more people praying for kids to get slaughtered then....

If prayer worked, Karoline, you and Trump would be worm food.

Somehow, the all-powerful, omnipotent creator of the universe just couldn't stop the shooter. Either their god is very, very weak or it doesn't exist at all.

I believe in the power of prayer but also that God expects us to use our brains and hands in service to protect children, not just “say” the generic thoughts & prayers bit. If my prayers are answered you are out of a job & the weight of your hateful rhetoric brings you to your knees.

Best quote I've heard on this: You can pray all you want, but unless you water a plant, it's not going to grow. God wants action, not just words.

If people would substitute the word NATURE for god, it would all make more sense. Why are storms ACTS OF GOD, Why is God Damn a phrase? How can NATURE love, or forgive? Science is the new god.

Apparently keeping children alive is a distant second to scoring political points

The power of prayer did not help the kids who were praying IN Church!! When they were shot at. Prayers don't stop killings, laws against guns do!

Because their white privilege is way more important than dead and mangled children. But what else do you expect? This is a person that happily works for a serial sexual assaulter.

Sunnyglen, meet Sunny Bunny

What good is any of it when you have 6 totally corrupt individuals running the scotus

It's the people of faith who got us into this horrible mess. Maybe we will have learned not to let the people who believe in a magical fairyland in the sky, to decide how the government should work.

"They're with Jesus in a better world" - some elected asshole

The cognitive dissonance it takes for Leavitt to make this specific remark is truly breathtaking.

Who were shot while fucking praying. FFS. It's the guns.

So... the kids' prayers weren't good enough to save them? Is Karoline saying they didn't qualify to be saved?

"Why is the President sending in the military to cities when he and all others of faith could simply use the power of prayer to stop crime and homelessness saving the taxpayer countless millions?"

This would have been a good follow-up.

The TX redistricting thing too. Romans 13:1 says god picks all our leaders anyway (which makes god a Trump supporter btw....). Just pray that god gets all Republicans elected.

Ah yes, we must not disrespect people that think that praying to the tooth fairy is ineffective at solving real world problems, they might be hurt.

Kids were killed/shot while actually praying.

The follow-up question NO ONE ever asks: How does your thoughts and prayers help the next victims?

Those kids were praying! Now show where prayer works!

They ALL lie to us They ALL cheat us

The kids were praying when they were shot. KKKaroline epitomizes the ignorance of the Trump regime and the American fascist party. (Formally known as Republican)

Praying is a stupid, backward and pointless act. It belongs back in the 15th century, not reality.

James 2:17 - pray. That’s fine, but we need action. Do something.

Your existence proves prayers don’t work.

The god sparing a child sitting in a pew is the same god who killed the child sitting next to them.

If prayer is so powerful, why are there still school shootings at all? Every time this happens, "thoughts and prayers." You would think a quota should have been met by now.

See, the children's mistake was in not praying specifically not to be shot dead. Classic rookie mistake.

Medically speaking, prayer won't bring dead children back to life. Thoughts and prayers might be of some comfort to survivors, but voting for gun control will actually address the problem.

Fuck your thoughts and prayers kiss-ass barbie

You are incredibley stupid.

...you are the reason tens of millions are LOSING their faith Karoline, lies do that...

Killed while praying for a safe and productive school year.

Coming from the administration that doesn’t believe in the red letter words in the Bible or the person who said them.

She is pretty much a total disgrace, selling her soul for the likes of Trumptin....she will go under the bus soon, and Trumptin wont even notice! She lies almost as regularly as trumptin and that's saying something! Wow, what a woman! What a comedienne!

When's Trump going to the school to pay his respects? He will go I have every confidence because he's so caring!

She sold her soul to Trumptin...the rest will play out as it has for all the other soul sellers like Ellen Musky...he didn't last long and her days will be numbered! Trumptin uses and abuses and removes! Sometime to jail! Love his portrait on Labor building. We need more of them!

What a Gobshite!

Oh Leavitout lies such a lot she can't be a believer!

Prayer! Does! Not! Work!!!

Hypocritical Nazi Barbie

They are so hypocritical when it comes to focusing on action than their words.

They were praying when they were shot. Is her argument that the kids needed to be praying to NOT get shot in order to not get shot? Is that how it "works"?

Leavitt is a POS.

…Anyone else beginning to think that Karo-lyin’ Leave-itt is the stinking pile the Huckabeast left behind in the kennel? I’m beginning to give up on the idea of MAGA ever curbing their dogs… get out the Wellingtons~ it’s only gonna get deeper.

God wants your Republican Administration to Take Action to protect all children-praying or not.

God does not exist. We the People want the Republicans to take action.

Okay

It's incredibly disrespectful to allow your religious beliefs to prevent you from doing something concrete to prevent children from being murdered.

“I think it lets us off the hook. I think it teaches us that nothing is really our fault; that something or someone else is pulling the strings; the ultimately, we're not to blame for the way things are; that to improve things, we should pray.”….Lessons in Chemistry

EVERY shooting they offer thoughts and prays, if they actually worked, they'd have stopped ages ago, but as they're happening more often, it says THEY DO FUCK ALL, these people are next level fucking dumb.

Fuck you bitch!

prayers wont stop bullets and wont stop the person from pulling the trigger. But you know what will, someone shooting the killer before it happens, or maybe paying attention to who is purchasing them. No one is watching after each other anymore. No one is looking for the signs.

*Meanwhile, kids "who were praying at the time" are dead.

Prayer works. -Kids were murdered in a church while praying.- Not going to get spicy about it, but perhaps public policy that takes temporal action would possibly be more effective.

This is a dummy. She is as empty as a paper sack full of nothing—no smarts, no soul, no integrity, no class, just white trash hillbilly yo-yo.

These "people of faith" are the same ones who are supporting a pedophile so excuse me if I question this faith.

There are no gods to protect or save anybody. Have we not noticed that? Fuck your thoughts and prayers they do nothing but offer mental masturbation so you can assuage your guilt. *BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS *LICENSE EVERY GUN *LICENSE AND INSURE EVERY GUN OWNER

Says the woman that lies every time she opens her mouth. THAT is disrespecting the American people!

Why don't reporters ask her "Will there be more school children shot and killed?"

So if prayer works… And prayers have been giving out for decades over school shootings… But shootings continue… WTF are people asking for in those prayers?

“If prayer worked the way you think it does, maybe start before the bullets fly instead of after the obituary. You’re telling me your all‑powerful God made the plan — prayer just sounds like begging to rewrite it. What’s the point?”

“Thoughts and prayers.” “There is something deeply hypocritical about praying for a problem you are unwilling to resolve.” -Miroslav Volf

I thought people of "faith" weren't supposed to lie or worship false gods..... HYPOCRISY at its finest.

Lying Lips Leavitt is the dumbest.

While in the Army I knew soldiers who prayed for their bullets to hit the targets so they would pass their rifle qualification. It did not work. We could of course try to pray that bullets aimed at school kids or churchgoers or mall-rats would all miss but I don't think the odds are very good.

Does anyone care what little Miss Piggy thinks?

Thoughts and prayers dont stop bullets.

Bondi is starting to age. She needs to jump into the cocoon pool coz hate is aging her fast.

She’s getting passed around like a wine bottle.

She’s an effin idiot. I cannot stand her.

America prays while Europe passes and enforces gun laws. America has more mass shootings.

exactly

If prayer works, prove it.

Pedoparty

Prayer works to prevent gun violence? It doesn't seem to be very effective so far. There's just more and more dead and injured people. Year after year after year....😑

Guns: 3,336,358,831 Prayer: 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000

Well the only way one can believe prayer works is if one of those two dead kids comes back to school on Tuesday. Otherwise prayer is just a calming mental exercise- valuable like meditation but not effective beyond that. There is no ‘work’ that it does.
