Celebs Blame Trump, Republicans for Texas Shooting

Within hours of the of the Santa Fe, Texas, high school shooting celebrities took to Twitter going at the NRA, demanding more gun control, and mocking condolences of prayer.

For example, when President Trump tweeted condolences based on the limited information available on the shooting at the time, Kathy Griffin responded by tweeting, “Go f*ck yourself.” ​One minute later she tweeted:

We can’t back down no matter what. The NRA has won in the past because we always move on with our daily lives and they don’t – they focus on their agenda.

Fuck The NRA https://t.co/emxIXfjwcy

Judd Apatow responded to President Trump by claiming the NRA owns him:

The NRA owns you. You don’t take simple, logical steps to save lives because you want their money. You are an evil man. https://t.co/airgonfJto

Several other celebrities followed suit.

More dead children.

WE CAN’T CONTINUE THIS MADNESS! WE ARE DONE!

We’re done with your—“the @NRA didn’t pull the trigger”—spin. We are done with your pity, thoughts and prayers.

You flooded America with guns.
