Singer Miley Cyrus is not happy with the president's response to the Texas shooting that killed 26 people. She posted a furious message in response to President Donald Trump's dismissal of the recent attack as not "a guns situation."
The singer lashed out on Instagram, posting a photo of an outline of Texas with a heart shape along with a lengthy rant about the situation and the President's response to it.
During his statement, President Trump said that guns was not the problem with the Texas shooting. "I think that mental health is a problem here," he said. "Based on preliminary reports, this was a very deranged individual with a lot of problems over a very long period of time."
In her post, Cyrus countered, "I'd like to believe that EVERY person who takes the life of another being is 'mentally ill'...it's hard to conceptualize that a sane human could commit such a hideous crime. BUT I am sorry Donald Trump this absolutely is a 'GUNS SITUATION.'"
In her previous post, Cyrus highlighted the fact that the attack in Sutherland Springs, Texas, was done by a white American male. This seemed to have irked many fans. The 26-year-old singer said that some chose to not focus on the horrific tragedy, and instead were deeply affected by her calling out a white American male for killing and injuring people.
Cyrus also called out how people are now saying that race does not matter when the killer is a white American male. She said that race matters "when a car runs over innocent people while professing their love to a god different from yours," citing the recent attack in New York.
In the said attack, an Uzbek immigrant ran over and killed eight people. After that, Trump demanded that immigration laws be immediately changed. However, after a white attacker killed 26 people in Texas, the president attributed it to mental illness and did not call for any changes in gun control policies.
