Celebrity Leftists Blame Conservatives for Las Vegas Massacre
“The NRA is a terrorist organization.”

Most celebrities aren’t known for their sharp wit, extensive knowledge, or keen perspective. Talent and looks don’t necessarily accompany great minds, and that fact is perhaps most painfully obvious when the famous and fortunate choose to weigh in on political issues.
Case in point: the predictably leftwing and dreadfully daft celebrity reaction to the nightmarish mass murder in Las Vegas Sunday night. Putting the “twit” in Twitter, many in the entertainment industry just can’t help themselves. On Monday, singer Lady Gaga joined the chorus of foolishness by accusing Republicans of having “blood [on their] hands”:
Prayers are important but @SpeakerRyan @realDonaldTrumpblood is on the hands of those who have power to legislate. #GunControl act quickly. twitter.com/speakerryan/st…
Failed CNN host Piers Morgan (who, curiously, also has neither talent nor looks) continued the obsessive diatribe that cost him his show on the Cable News Network:
The NRA is killing America. End. twitter.com/InevitableMAGA…
Atheist writer Richard Dawkins brought particular humiliation upon himself with this:
“Comedian” Michael Ian Black called the NRA “a terrorist organization,” while every Democrat’s favorite female superstar—Hillary Clinton—tweeted, with showstopping irony:
The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots.
Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get.
Not only is the blaming of conservatives for one man’s evil act irrational, but the Left’s attempt to turn a national tragedy into political currency is a shameful exploitation of those individuals and loved ones who have been devastated by this horror.
There was a time when the political views of singers and actors were judiciously kept from the limelight by studios and record labels; there were good reasons for that. Today, one has to ask: why would the rich and famous want to insult half of the very audience that affords them the luxury of having such a public voice? And more puzzlingly, how can these people hold such a breathtakingly immature view of the world—one in which they believe that the same person who will break the punishable-by-death law against mass murder would obey the punishable-by-incarceration law against buying an illegal weapon?
