Two protesters chanting no more guns were removed from a Republican fundraiser in Key Biscayne Friday night after confronting Speaker of the House Paul Ryan about the mass shooting that happened days earlier and miles up the road.

This is @SpeakerRyans version of Thoughts and Prayers. Odd, it looks like a donor event in the tropics, an activist tweeted, along with a video of people milling about on an outdoor patio.

Ryan tweeted that the Wednesday shooting, which left 17 people dead and 15 wounded, was pure evil.

Maria Thorne, a Key Biscayne activist, said she noticed motorcade traffic clogging up her commute home from her job as a fifth grade teacher at iPrep Academy, where she spent the day reassuring scared students that she could keep them safe from a shooter.

Maria Thorne then goes to the fundraiser, and introduces herself to Ryan, who says, "Nice." She replies, "Nice. You're celebrating the deaths of 17 children."

God bless Maria Thorne!
