Abby Phillip: That Mike Lee Post Is the ‘Opposite’ of Thoughts and Prayers

‘He was casting blame’

EXCERPT:

PHILLIP: "But I don't even think that it‘s thoughts and prayers. I think that‘s part of the problem. That Mike Lee post was — was not thoughts. That was quite the opposite, actually, where he was casting blame. And his colleague, Senator Tina Smith, who knew the victims here, she literally confronted him about this in real life, which I think if you listen to her describing this, she basically makes the point that, you know, you put all this stuff out on social media and then someone talks to you about it, and suddenly you don‘t know what to say."
