A horrific school shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school left at least two children dead and more than a dozen injured Wednesday. The suspected gunman, identified as Robin (formerly Robert) Westman, was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the scene.
As the community reeled from the bloodshed at Annunciation Catholic School, MSNBC host and former Biden White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki reacted by dismissing both the power of prayer and President Donald Trump’s anti-crime crackdown in Washington, D.C.
“Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers do not end school shootings. Prayers do not make parents feel safe sending their kids to school. Prayer does not bring these kids back. Enough with the thoughts and prayers,” Psaki posted on X.
Psaki doubled down in a follow-up post, mocking Trump’s D.C. crime crackdown, which has seen the National Guard deployed and the federal government assume direct oversight of the Metropolitan Police.
“When kids are getting shot in their pews at a Catholic school Mass and your crime plan is to have National Guard put mulch down around DC maybe rethink your strategy,” she wrote.
Law enforcement sources confirmed the shooter as Robin Westman, whose legal documents show a gender change in 2019 from the name Robert.
The shooter was also a rabid antisemite. In a manifesto, Westman discussed his desire to murder “filthy Zionist Jews” and wrote slogans such as “Free Palestine.”
“If I will carry out a racially motivated attack, it would be most likely against filthy Zionist jews,” he wrote in one stomach-churning entry.
“I hate those entitled, penny-sniffing kikes,” he wrote elsewhere in the journal.
Westman also wrote that “six million wasn’t enough” and mused about killing President Trump and Jews, but settled on killing “children of innocent civilians,” which he wrote would bring him “the most joy.”
“I don’t want to [do] it to spread a message. I do it to please myself. I do it because I am sick,” he wrote.

The solution is to realize that being WOKE is a form of mental illness, and under all legal theories, insane people don’t have a right to be arms. I’m sure Trump is looking for a way to disarm the Democrats before they can do more harm to innocent people.
What a vile creature.
In no way is she “attacking ” prayer, she says specifically for mass murder it’s not enough. Common sense gun control and stricter control of who can buy a weapon is crucial.
Wicked evil ugly Karen.
rt:
“Enough with the thoughts and prayers” is indeed an attack on prayer. The words mean that the author is stating that people should stop praying.
Worth noting that there is no way that the victims affected by this horrific murder spree – very religious Christians – would ever agree with her take.
Well Robin Westman ימח שמו וזכרונו can now explain all his vile plans to his Maker in the confines of גיהינום
but she’s right. after every attack, politicians send the same wilted bouquet of “thoughts and prayers”, for their own image, which does nothing to prevent future attacks. her concern, however, is equally self-serving, and equally useless. i take issue not with her “dismissing the power of prayer”, but with her apparent lack of any other plan – it’s all about her and her feelings.
