"There are common sense solutions, things done to protect children in schools and churches and to the taking away the constitutional rights of American citizens. This isn't a time to politicize these issues. We mourn for the families and community that's affected. I'm sure you guys saw the father's remarks yesterday for that little boy who was lost, Fletcher Merkel. Such a heart wrenching thing for all of us."
"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."
"Gavin Newsom is ridiculous, Johnson said. I don't have words to respond to that. I cannot believe that he's gone that low to get attention, and that's what this is about."
House Speaker Mike Johnson criticized California Gov. Gavin Newsom and former White House press secretary Jen Psaki for dismissing prayers and emphasizing gun control after the Minnesota church shooting that killed two children and injured eighteen. Johnson insisted guns are not the core issue and blamed the human heart and mental health, while urging common-sense protections for children without infringing constitutional rights. He described attacks on religion as diminishing Americans' faith in tragedies and referenced a father's remarks about the slain boy, Fletcher Merkel. Psaki asserted that prayers alone do not end shootings or restore safety, prompting Johnson to call Newsom's comments ridiculous.
