Kim Kardashian Just Called Out NRA Republicans With Three Brutal Tweets
Reality television star Kim Kardashian surprised a great many people today when she took to Twitter to slam the Senate Republicans for abandoning the American people and voting against four important gun reform legislation bills. Since experience in reality television is apparently enough to be taken seriously in politics these days, it wasn’t long before the media began to take note.
So sad! The senate voted against background checks being needed to buy guns. So terrorists on fbi’s wanted lists can legally still buy guns

Oh & mentally ill people can buy guns without a background check too.

The fact that anyone can so easily access guns is so scary & after all of the devastating loss the Senate should have not failed us!!!

Known primarily for successfully monetizing of every aspect of her life as a “professional celebrity,” Kardashian West occasionally dabbles in political activism, primarily to call for recognition of the genocide of millions of Armenians by Turkey following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after the First World War.
West does have an enormous social media presence – forty-six million followers – and her surprising criticism of Senate Republicans is a welcome gift to the gun reform movement, helping to raise popular awareness of just how far Senate Republicans will go to protect the interest of their masters in the National Rifle Association over the well-being of the American people.
