Actress Debra Messing is facing criticism for her response to a tweet that appeared to incite violence against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and former NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch.

The “Will and Grace” star has been called out by social media users after she responded to a Twitter user’s post on Aug. 5. The tweet called for violence against McConnell and Loesch following the two mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, over the weekend.
