After eyewitness reports surfaced that the Umpqua Community College shooter asked his victims if they were Christian, noted actor and frequent Twitter commenter James Woods blasted the media and President Obama, and calls for more gun control in a series of tweets Friday.
Woods first tweeted:
He followed that tweet with slamming the New York Times for not mentioning the reports that the shooter was targeting Christians:
And then moved on to questioning the President on the matter:
Woods wrapped up his short rant by praising the courage of those who told the shooter they were Christian:
Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee also commented on the President’s silence about Christians being targeted.
According to The Blaze, when the former Arkansas governor was asked if he thought President Obama would have mentioned religious targeting if the victims were Muslim, he said, “Of course he would have… But when it seems that the target is a Christian, he conveniently just ignores it, denies it or just moves on to something else.”
