James Corden has called America one of the most “backward places in the world” when it comes to gun control following the deadly mass shooting at a Texas elementary school which has so far left 19 children dead along with two adults. Here’s what he has to say.
James Corden expressed both “rage and grief” in the wake of Tuesday’s atrocity. At least 19 children and two teachers are dead after a shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas on Tuesday, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. The tragedy in Uvalde, about 90 minutes west of San Antonio, comes just days after another deadly mass shooting in Buffalo, New York.
James Corden Calls America One Of The Most “Backward Places In The World” Following School Shooting
Addressing the shooting in a monologue on The Late Late Show on US television, Corden said that on the issue of gun laws, America is “one of the most backward places in the world.”
“When I dropped my kids off at school this morning and kissed them goodbye, it doesn’t cross your mind that that could ever be the last goodbye,” he said. “And the thought of that phone call, that your child is the victim in a mass shooting is beyond comprehension as a human being.”
What’s more, chart topper Taylor Swift also shared a video of Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who delivered an emotional message in a press conference before the NBA Western Conference finals. “Filled with rage and grief, and so broken by the murders in Uvalde,” she wrote in a tweet.
Swift added, “”By Buffalo, Laguna Woods and so many others. By the ways in which we, as a nation, have become conditioned to unfathomable and unbearable heartbreak. Steve’s words ring so true and cut so deep.”
Actress Amy Schumer also said: “We are grieving with the Uvalde community, a predominantly Latinx community, and everyone else impacted by yet another senseless act of violence in our schools. This is yet another tragic example of how pervasive this public health crisis is in our country.”
