Samantha Bee to President Trump on the El Paso and Dayton shootings: "It’s the guns, stupid"

The Daily Beast

“We are so sick of living in fear for no goddamn good reason,” Bee said in reaction to the recent mass shootings on Wednesday's Full Frontal. “It’s very clear what the problem is, despite the usual attempts by the president and others to pin the blame elsewhere.” She also lashed out at President Trump for saying “mental illness and hatred pulls the trigger, not the gun.” Bee responded: "Right, the gun didn’t pull the trigger because that is physically impossible. Unless maybe it had one of its ribs removed. But the gun did put the bullets into people, mental illness did not. As far as we know, the El Paso shooter wasn’t mentally ill at all. Being a racist monster isn’t a mental illness. In fact, you can be one and be a ‘very stable genius.'"
