Lady Gaga and Julianne Moore are speaking out after the horrific terror attack that left at least 58 people dead and 515 injured in Las Vegas on Sunday night.
The Hollywood stars both took to Twitter on Monday, demanding that politicians get to work on enacting stricter gun control laws in the wake of the tragedy, which is now the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history.
‘Cheap sound bites don’t protect innocent lives,’ read a tweet on Moore’s account, as she pointed out this is the eighth mass shooting just this year.
Lady Gaga took a more direct approach in getting her message out, tweeting at the President and Speaker of the House while stating that ‘blood in on the hands’ of the men and women of Congress.
‘Prayers are important but @SpeakerRyan @RealDonaldTrump blood is on the hands of those who have power to legislate. #GunControl act quickly,’ wrote Lady Gaga on Twitter.
That post was in response to one from Speaker Ryan in which he wrote: ‘America woke up to heartbreaking news from Las Vegas. We stand united in our shock, our condolences, & our prayers.’
The Commander-in-Chief and Representative from Wisconsin had yet to respond to Gaga’s tweet as of Monday afternoon.
