Hollywood Twitter continued mourning the Pittsburgh Tree of Life massacre today, sending out condolences and a renewed vow to challenge politicians on gun control policies.

Some took umbrage at President Donald Trump, blaming his rhetoric and a series of tone-deaf maneuvers during the latter stages of Saturday.

The President, who earlier in the day sent numerous tweets mourning and decrying the senseless attack, kept to his planned Saturday schedule and held an Illinois Make America Great Again rally later in the day. During that, he jokingly referred to a “bad hair day” in his remarks.

He later incited more ire among opponents by tweeting out a comment on the World Series, which some felt was inappropriate on a day of national mourning.

Hollywoods reactions:

I dont talk about my Jewish faith a lot, but its a huge part of my life, family and heart. It is painful & tragic to see a place of prayer cleaved by bigotry & hate, yet again. Please return our shalom to us with prayers & active support of the Jewish member of your community.

I went to school in Pitt. I attended services at this Temple. I dont know what to say anymore or how to say it. Words have clearly lost all meaning because we are doing NOTHING to stop incocent masses of people in schools, Churches and now Temples from being killed in droves https://t.co/Lerc7kg10w

To the families of those who died in the synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh, my deepest and sincere sympathies. This horror is escalating day by day. If only we had LEADERSHIP that would actually take steps to stop it.

Trump just blamed the synagogue for not having an armed guard at the bris.

Anti-Semitism has been a reality for thousands of years and it will always be around. But our leaders, moral and political, can either deprive it of oxygen or give it life. For those who give it life, they can accomplish this either by endorsing it or by remaining silent.
