Michigan rep. to GOP mass shooting-enablers: "F*ck your thoughts and prayers." [1]

['Mark Frauenfelder']

Date: 2023-02-14

Michigan State Rep. Ranjeev Puri's message to people like Rep. Andrew Clyde (who giddily handed out assault rifle lapel pins to his colleagues in the U.S. House a couple of weeks ago) doesn't beat around the bush:

"Today, we begin to collectively heal from the horrific events which transpired, tomorrow we work. My official statement regarding the Michigan State University shooting is below: Fuck your thoughts and prayers."

For the GOP, "thoughts and prayers" has evolved from being an insipid platitude to a winking own-the-libs troll.

Someone suggested we name mass shootings after GOP politicians. It's not a bad idea, because they happen so often that it's hard to keep track of them. We could start by calling this one the Clyde Massacre.

I hope you pieces of shit can take off your rifle pins before offering your bullshit thoughts and prayers today. pic.twitter.com/dD0MGQL2Jb — GingerSpice❄️💙 (@thedesertginger) February 14, 2023
