Fox & Friends: Prayer is more effective than gun control, and if you disagree with that youre lining up with terrorists
On Thursday, Fox & Friends took its cue from its networks delightful coverage of the San Bernardino shooting last night and focused on what really matters namely, that this might have been a terrorist attack and that prayer works, this possible terrorist attack notwithstanding.
The touchstone for all their conversations was the cover of todays edition of the New York Daily News:
Co-host Steve Doocy had a copy of the paper and held it up, repeatedly, saying if God wont fix this, we need more [gun] laws. GOP presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina agreed, saying its stunning to me this is an example of how afraid the left-wing is of our values.
Fiorina later argued that it turns out that [South Carolina shooter] Dylan Roof should never have been sold a gun; it turns out that South Carolina has strict gun laws; and it turns out that all of the violence in Chicago is sitting in a city with the strictest gun control laws, so what the national conversation should really be about is calling crimes like this what it appears to be, namely, terrorism. And, of course, prayer which is what Fiorina claimed was the first thing she urged people to offer when she heard about the shooting.
Doocy and Hasselbeck agreed, with Doocy holding up the Daily News cover again and saying, on the cover of the Daily News they have politicized this already. Hey, Republicans, theyre saying, God isnt fixing this. As the latest batch of innocent Americans are left dying in pools of blood, cowards. Who [do] they picture right here? Rand Paul, Paul Ryan, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, all Republicans, [or] cowards who could truly end gun scourge but continue to hide behind meaningless platitudes.'
