Madonna slammed for making Orlando shooting about herself

MADONNA took to social media to mourn the victims of the mass shooting in an Orlando gay nightclub, but somehow made it about herself.

Her first and most innocuous missive was posted Monday, featuring a screenshot of two men touching tongues, captioned, “Love is love. Stop hate crimes. Any form of terrorism is a form of hate!”

 


Next, she shared a photo of herself playing tonsil hockey with Britney Spears at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.

One commenter wrote, “Are you serious right now? This isn’t about you and your fake ass kiss for publicity. I would think you’d know better.”

Another added, “OK it’s time to lay off the memes sis.”

But it didn’t stop there. Madge took to Instagram to post a meme of herself at the GLAAD Media Awards in 2013 emblazoned with her own quote.

“You cannot use the name of God or religion to justify acts of violence, to hurt, to hate, to discriminate,” she wrote. “What has happened in Orlando is devastating. My heart goes out to all the victims of the shooting and to their families. Stop hate crimes!”

The mass shooting left 49 victims dead and 53 wounded. The shooter, Omar Mateen, was killed by police.
