When I read this, I almost laughed out loud. An odd reaction given the situation, I know, but Psaki's tweet was just so ridiculous, and on so many levels, that I almost couldn't help it. It wasn't even an amused laugh, either, more like an angry response to something so stupid your body can't come up with a different expression.
You see, Jen Psaki's mentality caused this shooting to happen. Not hers alone, mind you. There's an entire leftist machine she's part of that led to this, but Psaki was a large part of it. She's been using cameras and microphones for years to push people into situations where they adopt levels of insanity God never intended us to have.
The Psaki song and dance that my colleague Nick Arama highlighted, alongside Vice President JD Vance's excellent response, is a pretty fantastic representation of how the left attempts to push the blame on everyone but themselves when something this tragic happens that they know is their fault.

The two go-to responses to a shooting like this are to blame Republicans and conservatives for there being so many guns in the United States, as if the guns are the culprit for these shootings. They're the tool, sure, but not the personality behind the trigger, and there are so many triggers in America with zero lives taken from each of them that it's hard to point at the gun as the problem.
Then there's the thoughts and prayers issue. As Vance said, no one sees it as a substitute for action, but it is the path to the best action because we're provoking the literal Creator of the Universe to give us guidance and comfort the affected. There's no greater addition to our actions than doing that. Atheists can scoff at it all they like, but the math says He's very real.
Here's the part where leftists really fall flat. They seem to think that the best course of action in these situations isn't to look at the core issue — which continues to be mental health issues — but to complain about people praying. They seem to think that's moving the chains.
And I honestly cannot think of a more useless gesture than that. Complaining that other people are at least appealing to a higher power is, in their minds, doing something. That is, in my mind, insane.
But more insane is the fact that they know these mental health issues are out there and causing problems. The math is there for that, too. Transgenderism is a huge factor in depression and suicide, and the left has been fostering this mental illness to the point of celebrating it, defending it, and giving it power. The vast majority of these people clearly aren't well, yet they use them as a way to attack conservatives and create loyal voting blocs as well as foot soldiers on the ground.

What Psaki and her ilk are doing is trying to distract from the fact that everything conservatives have been saying about the transgender movement — from its inherent mental health dangers, to the threats it poses to everyone else — is true, and if they even for a moment let it slip that we were right, then the entire house of cards comes falling down.
Transgenderism would have to be addressed in a very realistic fashion, and that would mean reclassifying it as a mental ailment, not some miscalculation of nature that put a person in the wrong body, which sounds far more fantastical than a caring God.
The left knows it caused this, but it's going to point at you as the cause because you're not "doing anything" to stop it but appealing to a power they don't believe in. That's rich, given the power they appeal to is a narrative they created and is slowly withering away.
