Woke celebrities have opportunistically taken to social media to weigh in on the horrific Texas school shooting earlier this week, politicising the tragedy by pushing for gun control and urging voters to elect Democrat candidates.
On Tuesday an 18-year-old man, identified as Salvador Ramos, entered Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, carrying an AR-15 rifle, killing 19 children, two faculty members, and injuring 17 people before he was reportedly shot and killed by an agent of the Border Patrol Tactical Unit.

Texas Governor Greg Abbot (R) issued a statement later that day, stating, “Texans across the state are grieving for the victims of this senseless crime and for the community of Uvalde. Cecilia and I mourn this horrific loss and we urge all Texans to come together to show our unwavering support to all who are suffering.”
“We thank the courageous first responders who worked to finally secure Robb Elementary School. I have instructed the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas Rangers to work with local law enforcement to fully investigate this crime. The Texas Division of Emergency Management is charged with providing local officials all resources necessary to respond to this tragedy as the State of Texas works to ensure the community has what it needs to heal.” Governor Abbott’s statement concluded.
Gov. Abbott would go on to hold a lengthy press conference wherein more details about the gunman and the mass murder were disclosed to the media.
As revealed by the information provided by the Texas Governor, Ramos was “a high school dropout” with reportedly “no criminal history identified yet,” noting that the gunman “may have had a juvenile record,” and stating that “there was no known mental health history” of the shooter.
Abbott declared he had discussions with Uvalde community leaders, sheriff, and mayor Don McLaughlin, coming to the conclusion that “we have a problem with mental health, illness, in this community,” and touched on the challenges the community is facing.
“I want to make sure everybody understands the mental health services that are available at this time,” the Governor went on, urging those “affected to access mental health,” including “the victims, the families, family members, friends, and the law enforcement” involved in the tragedy.

Yglesias’ progressive, albeit unsuitable, tweet in question read, “For all its very real problems, one shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that the contemporary United States of America is one of the best places to live in all of human history and there’s a reason tons of people of all kinds from all around the world clamor to move here.”

Self-proclaimed anti-racist writer and activist Tim Wise wrote, “The fact that some people are literally calling for bulletproof blankets in schools, rather than serious gun control demonstrates why this is a broken country. Too many people love their guns more than their children– or at least, other people’s children.”

Interjecting his anti-racist ideology, Wise then noted, “Take note: the danger to kids isn’t Critical Race Theory or LGBTQ folks. It’s guns and the Southern Baptist Convention.”

Seinfeld and Black Widow actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus took this opportunity to urge voters to elect Democrat candidates, asserting, “Our children deserve #MoreThanThougtsAndPrayers from leaders elected to protect them from gun violence.”

Former President of the United States and current Netflix producer Barack Obama took to social media to not only push for gun control and reform of the police, but also to memorialise the death of George Floyd; attempting to make a comparison where there is none.
“As we grieve the children of Uvalde today, we should take time to recognize that two years have passed since the murder of George Floyd under the knee of a police officer,” the former president wrote.
He added, “His killing stays with us all to this day, especially those who loved him.”

“In the aftermath of his murder, a new generation of activists rose up to channel their anguish into organized action, launching a movement to raise awareness of systemic racism and the need for criminal justice and police reform,” he added in a follow-up tweet.
