Speaker Johnson to Jen Psaki: The Problem Is Not Guns, The Problem Is The Human Heart And Mental Health
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) reacts to MSNBC host Jen Psaki saying prayer is not enough in a monologue on the shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school’s church.
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE MIKE JOHNSON (R-LA): It’s incredible to me that Jen Psaki and Gavin Newsom and others would attack religion and diminish the faith of millions of Americans at a time of such great tragedy. There are a lot of common-sense solutions, things that can be done to protect children at schools and in churches that do not involve taking away the constitutional rights of law-abiding American citizens. This is not a time to politicize these issues. We mourn for the families, the community that’s affected there. I’m sure you guys saw the father’s remarks yesterday for that little boy who was lost, Fletcher Merkel. It’s such a heart wrenching thing for all of us. And at the end of the day, the problem is not guns. Okay, Jen Psaki, the problem is the human heart. It’s mental health. There are things that we can do, solutions that we can come together to handle, but this is not the time for politics.
