Bess Kalb, a writer for Jimmy Kimmel Live! has thrown a fresh spotlight on NRA’s political spending this week, responding to lawmakers who are offering “thoughts” and “prayers” to the victims of Wednesday’s February 14, 2018 shooting in Florida, with tweets showing how much members of Congress have benefited from the group’s political spending.
