White House counsellor Kellyanne Conway Kellyanne Elizabeth ConwaySpecial counsel investigating DeVos for potential Hatch Act violation: report George and Kellyanne Conway honor Ginsburg Trump carries on with rally, unaware of Ginsburg's death MORE on Monday condemned the trend of "anti-religiosity" in America, just days after a mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue left 11 people dead and several wounded.

"The anti-religiosity in this country, that it is somehow in vogue and funny to make fun of anybody of faith, to constantly be making fun of people who express religion, the late-night comedians, the unfunny people on TV shows, it’s always anti-religious," Conway said on "Fox & Friends."

She later argued that faith can bring Americans together and said this isn't the time to be "driving God out of the public square."

"Remember, these people were gunned down in their place of worship," she said. "They were there because they’re people of faith. And it’s that faith that needs to bring us together."

Conway tries to frame Pittsburgh shooting as really being about "anti-religiosity" writ large.

Robert Bowers, 46, allegedly shot and killed 11 congregants in the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh on Saturday in one of the deadliest attacks on the Jewish community in American history.

It was at least the third mass shooting in a place of worship in the last three years.

Bowers, who was arrested and charged on 29 counts, is expected to be in court on Monday.

He also said that the attack may have been prevented if the synagogue had armed guards.

The shooting occurred just one day after Cesar Sayoc Jr. was arrested and charged for sending a rash of explosive devices and suspicious packages to prominent Democratic figures.

The events of the last week have led to bipartisan calls for the cooling of what has become increasingly heated political rhetoric.

Trump on Monday, however, said that "inaccurate, and even fraudulent, reporting of the news" is partly to blame for the "great anger" in America.
