Tlaib Trashes National Day Of Prayer By Retweeting Anti-Gun Activist David Hogg

Tlaib apparently believes not only that asking God for help is useless, but that it’s impossible to both pray and act. Tlaib retweeted a message by David Hogg, the teen who rose to fame as an anti-gun activist after surviving a 2018 mass shooting at his high school in Florida.
