Inappropriate and disrespectful.
The victims were already praying. Maybe it’s time for action to end gun violence in this country!
No one wants his prayers. We want solutions.
Regardless how you feel the families of the victims want prayers I'll be praying as well, maybe you should try doing that.
You have no idea what the families want. Not a clue.
Fuck you pence! Republicans are 100% responsible.
Don’t be ridiculous!! Stop crazy Dem politics!
The thoughts and prayers have arrived. Everyone breath easy now.
Pence a fake Christian. Jesus cared about poor and those who need help like the immigrants.
Let’s protect Americans! We cannot take in all of South America and Middle East! Stop partisan talk that does not solve problems!
