White House Ignores Lakewood Church Shooting Like The Plague

In the wake of the Texas megachurch shooting that left a little boy fighting for his life, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre failed to make any mention of the attempted massacre when honoring victims of mass gun violence at Tuesday's briefing: “Our thoughts are with the families of the three students who were tragically killed one year ago at Michigan State University, the five students who were injured as a result of this horrific gun violence, and the countless others traumatized by that day.”

“Tomorrow also marks another painful tragedy as we remember the 14 students and three educators who lost their lives six years ago at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. From Michigan to Florida, American children and educators are being gunned down in classrooms, on college campuses, and in their own homes and communities, as guns remain the No. 1 killer of kids in America. The president has met with countless survivors of gun violence who have turned their pain into purpose by advocating for common-sense gun safety measures that protect communities and save lives [...] As the president often says, 'Nothing is beyond our capacity when we act together'—and that includes ending the epidemic of gun violence once and for all.”

This exclusion despite the White House reportedly "tracking the [Lakewood Church] shooting and working to obtain more information," a White House official told CNN. We've yet to see the White House formally acknowledge Sunday's horrific events. -- Karine Jean-Pierre takes a moment to remember the victims of the Michigan State University shooting, as well as the Parkland school shooting in Florida, but makes no mention of the attempted church massacre in Texas over the weekend. Of course, that's because the Lakewood Church shooter, a pro-Palestine Hispanic woman whose gender identity and citizenship status are in dispute, doesn't quite fit the Left's politically correct narrative. Many inconvenient facts about the shooter are emerging in the case; it looks like 36-year-old Genesse Ivonne Moreno, the now-deceased terrorist, checks off all the DEI boxes. Moreno, a biological woman, used multiple male aliases, including assuming variations of the alter-ego "Jeffery Escalante."
