Ken Paxton POS

[packman]

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton made another in a string of tone deaf media appearances in the wake of the Uvalde, Texas school shooting, this time telling conservative radio host Pastor Trey Graham that while it’s difficult for him to offer comfort to the parents of the 19 students killed at Robb Elementary School on May 24, he believes “God always has a plan.”

...

"If I lost one of my children I'd be pretty devastated, especially in a way that is so senseless and seemingly has no purpose," Paxton said. "I think ... I would just have to say, if I had the opportunity to talk to the people I'd have to say, look, there's always a plan. I believe God always has a plan. Life is short no matter what it is. And certainly, we're not going to make sense of, you know, a young child being shot and killed way before their life expectancy."

It's kind of like, sorry your child is dead, but they are in a better place now. Peace

7. Seriously, he might as well have just said "let them eat lead".

5. One of the worst - maybe THE worst - things you can say to a person in grief..

It doesn't help, it only multiplies the hurt and adds a great deal of anger to it.

I know... from hearing it first-hand too many times in my life.

3. Such a bullshit response.

What a way to avoid taking responsibility!

4. Ken Paxton is a total shit.

He was instrumental in prematurely ending mask guidelines and the return-to-work pleadings in May, 2020, helping ensure the spread COVID-19.

6. Why are our elected officials going on radio shows hosted by pastors?

What the actual fuck????

8. Hey Kenny Boy...

Were Hitler and the Nazis part of God's plan?

If cancer and heart disease are part of God's plan then why do we have doctors?

Do you always use God as a "magic shield" for anything bad that happens--especially if you could have done something to prevent it? Kenny? Kenny Boy?
