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

They are frantic to blame the guns before we blame “the Resistance.”

While we in the media drum up all kinds of hatred against you Trump supporters, Republicans, Christians and conservatives, we think this would be an awesome time to disarm you all. :)

Clymer? Lol. What did George W. Bush call Adam Clymer? “Major league a**hole from the New York Times,”

To which Dick Cheney replied: "Big time"

Lol, so it WAS Cheney? I thought so, but wasn’t positive. So funny!

It would be more productive to talk about leftists controlling their asocial impulses.

Ah, thanks for jogging my brain. I knew she’d married Andre Previn, and divorced him, but forgot she and Woody only lived together.
