Celebs Brazenly Politicize Scalise Shooting, Declare ‘Too Many Guns’

After House Majority Whip Rep. Steve Scalise, of LA. was shot when a gunman opened fireat a GOP baseball practice in Alexandria, VA., celebrities were more concerned with the politics of gun control than the fact that a U.S. congressman was shot.

Mia Farrow, previous wife of Frank Sinatra and star in The Great Gatsby (1974), tweeted:

Julianne Moore (The Hours and Carrie) retweeted the following (inaccurate propaganda) from David Frum, who attacked Virginia’s gun laws.

Film producer Tariq Nasheed immediately referenced a controversial speech Scalise delivered to the right-wing European-American Unity and Rights Organization, when tweeting about the issue:

Apparently, the fact that Scalise had addressed the group – a decision he publicly regretted – was more important to Nasheed than the shooting, itself.

Charles Clymer, a popular free-lancer (he has 66.4K followers on Twitter) directly advocated “talking about gun control”, unapologetically politicizing the shooting.

The political rage many celebrities and public figures condemn is now empowering these divisive, politicizing tweets

These people are domestic terrorists. We all knew something like this was coming. They foment hate non stop and celebrate plays that depict the assassination of POTUS, or pictures of him beheaded.
Constantly spew vile comments from their keyboards on social media it’s NON STOP!
Look at what happened with BLM and how they built up so much hate police in Dallas were shot and killed.
Let’s watch these hate filled morons go ahead and start something they can’t finish.

From my point of view, too few guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens.

I and my fellow gun-owning Californians will likely see the most immediate brouhaha in the aftermath of today’s news. California pols in Sacramento screaming for gun confiscation in 3…2…1

I consider all of the people mentioned in the article as a domestic enemy and will conduct myself accordingly.

Mia Farrow is better known for being married to pedophile Woody Allen. Why did the writer only mention her marriage to Sinatra who she divorced almost 50 years ago? She must be another liberal media member who is too lazy to research the topics she writes about.

Reopen the house committee on unamerican a activities. Make communism a bad thing again. We have voted the House, Senate, and Presidency to the GOP. Time to shut down the Left. (And that included RINOS) They’ve had their little tantrums about losing the election. They need now to put on their big boy pants or they are going to be in for a world of hurt.
