JIM CARREY SAYS WHAT OSAMA BIN LADEN DID WAS TERRIBLE BUT 'HE DOESN'T HOLD A CANDLE TO MITCH MCCONNELL'
Actor and artist Jim Carrey has hit out at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell over his apparent failure to impose stricter gun control laws while unveiling his latest political cartoon.
Carrey, who frequently posts his artwork online, accused McConnell of doing more damage to the U.S. than 9/11 mastermind Osama Bin Laden while sharing a drawing of a hand dipping a $100 bill in a pool of blood.
Carrey revealed his latest piece after figures from the Gun Violence Archive suggest that the number of firearm-related in the U.S. has reached more than 10,000 this year already.
More than 2,700 people were killed in the New York terror attacks on September 11, 2001, after two hijacked planes crashed into the twin towers at the World Trade Center.
"10,000 gun deaths in 2019 and the year is far from over," Carrey wrote while tweeting out an image of the cartoon. "What Osama bin Laden did to us was terrible but he doesn't hold a candle to Mitch McConnell."
