Hypocrisy watch: A tale of two tweets from Debbie Wasserman Schultz

I assume the left is okay with "thoughts and prayers" today, since we're not talking about guns.

They’re such hypocrites!

Here’s DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz on today’s terror attack in Belgium. Her “thoughts are with Brussels”:

My thoughts are with Brussels today and with everyone working to keep Belgium safe. We won't let fear and terror triumph over peace.

And here she was after the mass shooting in Michigan in February with a slightly different take on the power of positive thoughts immediately following a tragedy:

Devastated to hear of the shooting last night in Kalamazoo, MI. Our thoughts and prayers are not enough. We must act to stop gun violence.

— Debbie Wasserman Schultz (@DWStweets) February 21, 2016

Got that? Thoughts and prayers are only appropriate on issues she doesn’t want to politicize.

Flashback. Remember when the prayer shaming of GOP politicians was all the rage? We certainly do:
