I can get the state department tweet being diplomatic and it still had the snub of mentioning human rights but this is just wow.

I really don't mind this. Maybe you can optimize the wording a bit to imply not all Iranians are mourning while still avoiding being snarky, but for a brief mention by a chaplain? Seems fine.

That's nice but he has supported Terrorist groups like Hamas and they won't give up the prisoners

Why is Congress being led in prayer anyway? There shouldn’t be a Senate chaplain at all, keep religion out of government.

Why would it not just be the chaplain's idea?

Those 2 women have been the biggest defenders of iran ever, they voted against condemning iran when they bombed israel so it isn't out of mind they probably asked the chaplain to give a prayer for raisi.

I agree. "Obama's tan suit" -tier thing to be upset about. If he was straight up praying for Raisi that'd be a different story, but it was a prayer for the people of Iran. Seems fine.

I don’t see a problem with this. The Bible commands us to love our enemies and even though Iran is an adversary we should remain in solidarity with its people during this tough time.

I agree a bit but still leave a bad taste but it seem to be just a prayer for the people of iran so to feel a bit better i'm just going to assume from now on it just a prayer for the people.

Ah yes, Senator AOC and Senator Omar. Makes sense.

Especially since this is in the Senate, which they aren't in...this poster is clearly extremely ignorant or not too bright.

Leave it to American conservatives to throw a temper tantrum over a prayer for the deceased and mourning souls.

Thank you Democrat chaplain for restoring Christianity to our government.

Why send a prayer for someone the Iranian government think we killed through our sanctions?
If we actually care why are we sending thoughts and prayers instead of repealing sanctions?

We always send thoughts and prayers after a mass shooting. Why would we do anything different now?

we just had a thread with over 1500 posts about a kicker's commencement speech at a college most have never heard of.  I can promise you this thread will not go that far.  Both sides do recreational outrage, your side does it way better (at least here).

In addition to the chaplain, the Senate should also appoint a rabbi, an imam, a pujari, a guru, and a televangelist.
