Minneapolis Mayor Dismisses Prayer, Defends Trans Community After Trans Shooter Kills Children

When something awful happens, we look to our leaders. It’s a simple test, really. We expect them to show up, to offer comfort, and to remind us of the values that hold us together. Their job is to focus on the victims and their families. It should be that simple.

That has always been the standard. A real leader sets politics aside. They put people first. They speak to our shared grief as Americans. Anything else is a complete and total failure. So why is that so hard for some of them to understand?

But this is Minneapolis we’re talking about. Of course, that’s not what happened. After a monster shot up Annunciation Catholic School, killing two children, Mayor Jacob Frey stepped in front of the cameras. And his first instinct was to scold the faithful. He actually said, “Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now.”

From The Post Millennial:

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey delivered a statement on Wednesday after a deadly shooting at Annunciation Catholic School, rejecting “thoughts and prayers.” The comments come after children were gunned down during their first week of school…

“Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now, these kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school, they were in a church.”

Read that again. He used the fact that these children were praying in their own church as a reason to mock prayer itself. You can’t make this stuff up. This is a targeted insult at a time of maximum pain.

A Calculated Insult to a Grieving Community

Let’s get this straight. The same guy who knelt for BLM can’t find a single kind word for Catholic kids? As commentator Libby Emmons pointed out, he knows how to show respect for the causes he cares about. Clearly, grieving Christians just don’t make the cut.

But hold on, it gets worse. As we learned the shooter identified as transgender, the mayor’s real priority snapped into focus. It wasn’t the dead children. It wasn’t the terrified families. Nope. It was protecting a political narrative.

Frey actually warned people, “Anybody who is using this as an… opportunity to villainize our trans community… has lost their sense of common humanity.” Are you kidding me?

Protecting the Ideology, Not the Innocent

A killer from a specific group murders children, and the mayor is worried about that group’s reputation. His first thought wasn’t for the victims. It was for the shooter’s identity group. This tells you everything you need to know about the inverted morality of the modern Left.

Charlie Kirk hit the nail on the head. The person who has truly “lost their sense of common humanity” is the one more worried about the killer’s political group than the community of faith that was just attacked. Frey was worried about the wrong community being “villainized.”

This isn’t just about one failed mayor. This is the playbook for the modern Left. In one breath, they scorn your faith. In the next, they demand you respect their ideology. They replace common decency with cold, hard politics, and they do it right in front of our eyes. It’s a disgusting spectacle, and it’s a warning for every American who still believes in what’s right.

Key Takeaways

• Liberal leaders now show open contempt for prayer and Christian faith.
• The Left prioritizes a perpetrator’s political identity over innocent victims.
• Mayor Frey’s response reveals a clear and hypocritical political agenda.
• Woke ideology is replacing common decency with cold political calculation.
