The Biden administration‘s response to the horrific Christian school shooting on Monday has been pretty odd. Notably, unlike other attacks on religious or ethnic groups, it does not appear that any member of the Biden administration has even acknowledged that it was a Christian school, let alone that the Presbyterian school was attacked by a person who identified as transgender.

In his first public remarks on Monday after the tragedy occurred, Biden consoled the nation by yukking it up about ice cream, “good-looking kids,” and his family for more than two minutes before finally addressing the shooting. He didn’t mention any specifics, nor the Covenant School.

On Tuesday, Biden came close to saying the word Christian, when asked whether or not he agreed with Senator Josh Hawley’s (R-MO) assessment that members of the faithful were targeted by the shooter.
