Biden on Texas Shooting: ‘Thoughts and Prayers Are Not Enough’Joel B. Pollak 8 May 2023
President Joe Biden joined a Democratic Party fad Sunday of mocking “thoughts and prayers” expressed in the wake of national tragedies, saying such sentiments were not enough in the wake of a mass shooting in Texas.
In a statement, Biden also appeared to blame the Republican Party for the shooting: “Too many families have empty chairs at their dinner tables. Republican Members of Congress cannot continue to meet this epidemic with a shrug. Tweeted thoughts and prayers are not enough.”
For the past several years, Democrats have rejected “thoughts and prayers” for the victims of such events, preferring instead fo politicize mass shootings by demanding gun control — even when it is unclear what their proposed laws would have done to prevent the crime.
Their sentiments are echoed in the mainstream media. Whoopi Goldberg, a co-host of The View on ABC who supports gun control, said last year: “I swear to God, if I see another Republican senator talk about their heart being broken, I’m going to go punch somebody. I can’t take it and their thoughts and prayers. If your thoughts and prayers were really with everybody, you would have done something by now.”
Biden has said for years that “thoughts and prayers” were not enough in the wake of mass shootings like that in Sandy Hook, Connecticut in 2012:
