Why Haven't the only 2 Muslim Women in U.S. Congress Condemned the Sri Lanka Church Bombings Yet?

I don't know. I'm just asking. If I'm wrong, please tell me.

It's been three days since the horrific suicide bomber attacks by Islamic terrorists on Easter Sunday in Sri Lanka. The death toll has now topped 320, yet the world has heard nothing - nada, nyet, zero - from Rep. Rashida Tlaib(D-MI) and Ihan Omar(D-MN).

On March 15 of this year, 50 people were killed at Christchurch, New Zealand by a heavily armed, lone wolf gunman who shot victims attending Friday prayers at two mosques. Within 24 hours the world had heard repeated public comments from Rep. Rashida Tlaib(D-MI) and Ihan Omar(D-MN), the only 2 Muslim women in the U.S. Congress.

Here's a sample of headlines 24 hours after the murderous rampage last March:

New Zealand mosque attacks: Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar react 

Rashida Tlaib Hugged Her ‘Brown Muslim Boys A Little Tighter’ After Mosque Attacks

Freshmen congresswomen Omar, Tlaib react to New Zealand tragedy

Omar on New Zealand mosque shooting: 'We must not live in fear'

Ilhan Omar calls for solidarity with Muslims in wake of New Zealand mosque terror attacks

And on and on...

A screenshot from Memeorandum last Monday night has a few headlines about the bombings in Sri Lanka (one highlighting 'far-right anger!') sandwiched between the usual 'impeach Trump' hysteria, yet no words of condemnation from Rashida or Omar. Not 48 hours later. Not 72 hours.

I did find some headlines about 'world leaders' condemn Sri Lanka church bombings. Plus, specific comments from Pres. Trump, SoS Pompeo, Speaker Pelosi, and even a Bollywood spokesman in India, yet not a single media release from Rep. Rashida Tlaib(D-MI) and Ihan Omar(D-MN). They both have a paid assistants and staff to issue press releases. They have ready access to the Media. The Media have access to them.

Why Haven't the only 2 Muslim Women in U.S. Congress Condemned the Sri Lanka Church Bombings perpetrated by Islamic terrorists yet?

I don't know. I'm just asking. If I'm wrong, please tell me.
