'Daily News' provokes with cover on Calif. shooting: 'God isn't fixing this' [View all]

Source: USA Today

The headline says, "God Isn't Fixing This."

.......... House Speaker Paul Ryan and GOP presidential hopefuls Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush and Lindsey Graham all responded with "prayers" for the victims of San Bernardino.
