About 3 hours after news of a mass shooting in the small town of Sutherland Springs, Texas was reported, alleged comedian Chelsea Handler was blaming Republicans for the tragedy. She wasn’t the only one, but her comments went viral fast.
“Innocent people go to church on Sunday to honor their God, and while doing so, get shot in killed. What country? America. Why? Republicans,” she wrote.
Handler was destroyed on social media for her comments.

Republicans? You’re blaming an entire party for the actions of an individual? With that logic, you should blame all Democrats for slavery. https://t.co/wHd9hpllGD

#NotAllMuslims are to blame for terror, but all Republicans are to blame for one guy shooting up a church full of mostly white Republicans. https://t.co/PVn6w5Zyjj

I️ normally try very hard not to call attention to this stuff in the middle of tragedies but this is obscene stuff that gets people killed. https://t.co/3jNMUEFtcL

But Handler was far from the only one to attempt to politicize the death of dozens of innocent churchgoers on Saturday.
Not to be outdone, former President Barack Obama started with thoughts for the victims.
“We grieve with all the families in Sutherland Springs harmed by this act of hatred, and we’ll stand with the survivors as they recover…,” he wrote.

But he could not leave it at that. The man who was president for eight years, had more to say.
“May God also grant all of us the wisdom to ask what concrete steps we can take to reduce the violence and weaponry in our midst,” he said.

Conservative actor James Woods hit him with stone cold truth.
“Ask your boss #GeorgeSoros to stop financing #Antifa terrorism?” Woods fired back.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren took a more pointed approach, making a bee-line for the NRA.
I’m heartsick for the victims, families & community of Sutherland Springs. But I’m more than heartsick – I’m angry.

How many more people must die at churches or concerts or schools before we stop letting the @NRA control this country’s gun policies?
— Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) November 5, 2017
How many kids must die of gun violence on playgrounds & streets every day with no attention at all before we wake up to what’s happening?
— Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) November 5, 2017
Many kids die in Chicago, with the strictest gun control in America.
Thoughts & prayers are not enough, GOP. We must end this violence. We must stop these tragedies. People are dying while you wait.

Lady Gaga prayed for gun control.
Prayers for #SanAntonio and all the families who are suffering the loss of loved ones. I’ll pray also for #GunControl
— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) November 5, 2017
She was joined by a plethora of celebrities using the same talking points.
How many more have to die before we enact sane gun control laws?

Are the bodies of the Vegas massacre cold enough for you yet or is it still ‘too soon’ to discuss gun control? https://t.co/OCTd8cBIGq

We can do better than this.

And some believe the NRA is a terrorist group, but not Antifa.
