Hollywood celebrities blame Trump after gunman kills 11 in hate crime at Pittsburgh synagogue

Several American celebrities held the President of the United States of America Donald Trump accountable for a hate crime which happened at a synagogue in Pittsburgh. Eleven people have been killed and a number of others injured after a shooting at The Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill on Saturday. Police said the killer, Robert Bowers, walked into the building and yelled, “all Jews must die!” before shooting the worshipers. Bowers who was armed with an AR-15 and three handguns, opened fire on the two officers before retreating back into the building. Police officers who pursued Bowers found him on the third floor of the synagogue and he opened fire on them. One officer was shot multiple times and critically wounded while another officer was also shot at multiple times. Bowers was injured in the exchange of gunfire and was taken into custody. He made statements to an officer that he wanted all Jews to die and also that Jews were committing genocide on his people. American comedian, actor and screenwriter Ike Barinholtz who responded to news of the shooting at the synagogue tweeted, "if you support Donald Trump you should too because this shit is on you!" https://twitter.com/ikebarinholtz/status/1056218524698341376 American television writer and producer Danny Zuker asked if a Republican party donor and billionaire would continue supporting Trump after this attack. https://twitter.com/DannyZuker/status/1056284921222885376 President Trump offered condolences for the victims and their loved ones shortly after the shooting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVV8hyr77QU “All of America is in mourning over the mass murder of Jewish Americans at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh,” President Trump said. “We pray for those who perished and their loved ones, and our hearts go out to the brave police officers who sustained serious injuries.” He also condemned the shooting, calling it an “evil Anti-Semitic attack is an assault on humanity.” “It will take all of us working together to extract the poison of Anti-Semitism from our world. We must unite to conquer hate.” Trump also ordered that flags at the White House be flown at half-staff at the White House, public grounds, and every military post in “solemn respect for the victims of the terrible act of violence perpetrated at The Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh.” First Lady of the United States Melania Trump tweeted, the violence needs to stop". https://twitter.com/FLOTUS/status/1056214298635239426 The condemnation by Trump and Melania of the shooting did little to quell the unhappiness of the celebrities who pushed for gun control, and blamed the president with his supporters for normalizing an anti-Semitic climate in the country that led to the heinous shooting. https://twitter.com/JohnLeguizamo/status/1056220046727483392 https://twitter.com/MMFlint/status/1056373518307393536 https://twitter.com/JuddApatow/status/1056311350756929537 https://twitter.com/SarahKSilverman/status/1056281999793565696 https://twitter.com/MatthewModine/status/1056302696473325568 https://twitter.com/_juliannemoore/status/1056354664080461824 https://twitter.com/johncusack/status/1056269301353799682 https://twitter.com/jfreewright/status/1056321454155984896 https://www.instagram.com/p/BpdhQn5HU6o/?utm_source=ig_embed https://twitter.com/WendellPierce/status/1056302915101581312 https://twitter.com/BetteMidler/status/1056230723177340935 https://twitter.com/jehorowitz/status/1056296985987244032 https://twitter.com/iamwandasykes/status/1056223885451034625 https://twitter.com/JoshMalina/status/1056273200835833856 https://twitter.com/BenSPLATT/status/1056266412270862336 https://twitter.com/AndyRichter/status/1056224230050738177 https://twitter.com/GeorgeTakei/status/1056258080378380289 https://twitter.com/rmayemsinger/status/1056271700805865472
