Jim Carrey: Osama Bin Laden Doesnt Hold A Candle To Mitch McConnell

(The Hill) Actor Jim Carrey blasted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for his lack of action on gun reform legislation saying in a tweet that the late terrorist leader Osama bin Laden doesnt hold a candle to the Kentucky Republican. 10000 gun deaths in 2019 and the year is far from over Carrey tweeted along with one of his signature political paintings. Carrey a vocal critic of President Trump and congressional Republicans has tweeted a slew of paintings as political commentary in recent years describing himself as an activist. Gun reform has been in the forefront of political discussions after three mass shootings last month. At least 38 people were killed by gunmen in Dayton Ohio; and El Paso and Odessa Texas. The Democratic-controlled House has passed multiple bills aimed at reducing gun violence but McConnell told radio host Hugh Hewitt on Tuesday that he would allow the Senate to vote on gun bills that have the presidents backing. The Senate is scheduled to return from its summer recess next week.
