Vice President JD Vance fired back at MSNBC host Jen Psaki on Thursday after she mocked the role of prayer in the aftermath of the Annunciation Catholic School shooting in Minnesota.
In a post on X, Vance defended prayer as an important response to tragedy and questioned why Psaki would choose to attack people of faith when the victims themselves had been in prayer at the time of the shooting.
“We pray because our hearts are broken. We pray because we know God listens. We pray because we know that God works in mysterious ways, and can inspire us to further action,” Vance wrote. “Why do you feel the need to attack other people for praying when kids were just killed praying?”
He doubled down in a follow-up post, calling Psaki’s remarks one of the strangest examples of left-wing culture war politics. “Of all the weird left wing culture wars in the last few years, this is by far the most bizarre. ‘How dare you pray for innocent people in the midst of tragedy?!’ What are you even talking about?”
The tragedy unfolded Wednesday morning at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Police said the shooter opened fire during morning Mass, killing two children and injuring 17 others. Authorities have since identified the suspect but have not yet released additional details about the motive.
Psaki had taken to social media shortly after the attack, blasting those who offered “thoughts and prayers” in response. “Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers does 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,” she wrote.
In another post, Psaki broadened her criticism, pointing to the Trump administration’s approach to crime in Washington, D.C. “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 said.
Vance’s sharp rebuke underscores how the role of faith in public life continues to spark heated cultural battles—especially in the aftermath of tragedy, when the debate over solutions to violence is at its most raw.
