BREAKING: Former President Barack Obama delivers a powerful response to the horrific mass shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school — a true example of leadership during tragedy.
In contrast, former President Trump’s statement fell short, failing to acknowledge the broader crisis of mass shootings gripping our nation.
Obama wrote on X:
“We can’t allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.”
Meanwhile, Trump tweeted:
“I have been fully briefed on the tragic shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The FBI quickly responded and they are on the scene. The White House will continue to monitor this terrible situation. Please join me in praying for everyone involved!”
Notice the difference: Obama calls out the unnecessary nature of these shootings and the epidemic of gun violence, while Trump offers empty platitudes without addressing the root cause — the ongoing refusal by Republican lawmakers to enact common-sense gun laws.
The tragic shooting took place during mass at Annunciation Catholic School, which serves preschool through eighth grade. Two children, ages 8 and 10, were killed, and 17 others injured. The shooter, armed with a rifle, shotgun, and pistol, is dead.
