Presidential candidate Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., criticized the practice of offering only “thoughts and prayers” after shootings.

“So when I’m president of the United States, I’m taking a fight to this issue like folks will never see before because we’re better than this as a country. It’s a uniquely American problem. No other country has this kind of carnage. More people in my lifetime have died in this nation due to gun violence than in all of the wars in the Revolutionary War to now. We’re not going to give thoughts and prayers, which to me is just bullshit,” Booker said on David Axelrod’s podcast “The Axe Files.”
