Parkland survivor Emma González slams Madonna's 'God Control' video

In a series of tweets Parkland survivor and activist Emma González has slammed Madonna's new music video, "God Control."

The video is a statement by Madonna on gun control and anti-gun violence. Madonna makes powerful statement against gun violence in 'God Control' video.

It begins with a warning for viewers and shows people, including Madonna, being gunned down with an assault weapon on a dance floor. The scene is evocative of the Pulse nightclub attack in 2016 in which 49 people were killed.

González was a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida in February 2018 when a gunman opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle killing 17 people.

Over the weekend she tweeted that she had been considering her words carefully and "Madonna's new video for her song #GodControl was f***ed up, it was horrible."

"She should have sent out a message warning what her new video contained, ESPECIALLY to the Pulse Victims, ESPECIALLY as it was released Just After the Anniversary on June 12th," González tweeted. "This is NOT the correct way to talk about gun violence, unlike how many fans have been exclaiming — people who have been working in the GVP community know how to talk about gun violence, not most celebrities #GodControl." GVP stands for gun violence prevention.

CNN has reached out to Madonna for comment.

At the time the video was released the mother of six told CNN she felt a responsibility to the children of the world when it came to gun violence. "As a mother, I feel even more attached to and protective of children. Do my children go to school safely? No, they cannot," Madonna said. "Every child that I meet - as a mother you feel responsible for all of the children in the world. It's really scary...

Madonna. Madonna. Madonna? Madonna??

There USED to be an act where the woman couldn’t sing at all. Is this the same act?

The Madonna video is FAKE! Her shooter is using a sub-
machine gun, which is fully auto, and NOT an AR-15.

Liberals don't care - they've been faking "news" for decades. I remember a photo in the LA Times back in the '80s, showing a supposedly semi-automatic "assault weapon" being fired. The photo showed almost a dozen empty cartridge cases in the air (in other words, the photo showed a machine gun being fired, not a semi-auto). The LA Times repeatedly printed photos with false captions, and not once published a correction after I wrote letters bringing the incidents to their attention.

Liberals lie - it's just their nature...
