There was a horrible shooting on Friday afternoon at a mosque in New Zealand. During the New Zealand mosque shooting several people were murdered and dozens more were injured. The man who was responsible for the shooting was dressed in a military uniform.
This insane man live streamed the shooting from Facebook. It was on Twitter but has since been taken down.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wasted no time when it comes to take this opportunity to bash the people of faith. She took to Twitter to do so.
At 1st I thought of saying, “Imagine being told your house of faith isn’t safe anymore.”
But I couldn’t say “imagine.”
Because of Charleston.
Pittsburgh.
Sutherland Springs.What good are your thoughts & prayers when they don’t even keep the pews safe?

Keep in mind that New Zealand has very strict gun laws. She was called out on Twitter by Michelle Malkin right away.
Right on cue (or rather, Left on cue): Blasting innocent people for praying about innocent people of faith murdered by a faithless evildoer in a house of worship where people gather to...pray.https://t.co/5Skn7sM5eR

More on the shooting from Fox News:
Three people are in custody -- one of whom was charged with murder -- after at least one heavily-armed shooter mowed down Muslim worshippers at Friday prayer, massacring 49 people in two New Zealand mosques while broadcasting a horrific live stream of the terror attack.
A 28-year-old Australian-born citizen was in custody after claiming responsibility for the attacks in Christchurch and allegedly posting a white nationalist manifesto immediately before the murder spree. The man, who was not identified, was described by Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison as “an extremist, right-wing, violent terrorist.” He and three others who were detained – one of which was later released – were not on any watch lists, and one was a woman, investigators said.
"These are people who I would describe as having extremist views, that have absolutely no place in New Zealand and in fact have no place in the world," Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said following the massacre.
"This is one of New Zealand's darkest days," she added.
It was a despicable act and an awful tragedy for the victims and their families to endure. We sent out our thoughts and prayers to those affected by the New Zealand mosque shooting.
