“Are you trying to imply that I am less Christian? What was the point of you bringing this up on national TV?”

Hello Ms. Conway,

On Easter I was away from tech visiting my grandmother in Puerto Rico, which continues to suffer from the White House’s incompetent disaster response.

Conway hours earlier voiced outrage with Ocasio-Cortez for condemning the New Zealand mosque shootings but failing to speak out about bombings at churches and luxury hotels in Sri Lanka that left more than 300 people dead. 

“I see officials who get a lot of airtime and ink like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, congresswoman, who tweets many times about the mosque and never once about the Christians being killed in Sri Lanka,” Conway said during a conversation with CNN’s Jake Tapper about President Trump’s response to the deadly white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017. 

.@JakeTapper repeatedly asks WH counselor Kellyanne Conway if President Trump thinks white nationalism is a growing threat around the world, and if she thinks his response on Charlottesville was ‘perfect’ as he says it was. #CNNSotu https://t.co/hetfI07Gq6 pic.twitter.com/xtdd1SfvD5

Trump recently defended his earlier comments, saying there were “very fine people on both sides” at the rally. 

Conway later tweeted that her remarks were in reference to Ocasio-Cortez’s “silence about the Sri Lanka massacre of Christians.” She also took aim at former President Obama and former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton for describing the people attacked as “Easter worshippers.”

{mosads}Ocasio-Cortez said in a separate tweet that “the terrorist attack in Sri Lanka was horrifying.” She also said that “saying ‘Easter worshippers’ matters bc Easter is the holiest day of the year for Christians, & to be targeted on Easter highlights how heinous the attack was.”

You are using this as an excuse to stoke suspicion around my Christianity + faith life, @KellyannePolls.

The Sri Lanka massacre was horrifying. No one should be targeted for their religion.

If you’re so moved, let’s do more to welcome immigrants fleeing religious persecution.
