Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu of California slammed Walmart for its decision to limit advertisements for video games following two shootings at its stores in recent weeks.
"You disrespect the victims of mass shootings by making up stupid s---," Lieu said in a tweet.
Republican lawmakers and commentators, including President Donald Trump, have widely suggested mental health and video games were to blame for mass shootings.
"Dear [Walmart], remember how: Mario Kart caused people to drive faster?
Fortnite radicalized a white supremacist to shoot Hispanics at your store," Lieu tweeted on Friday afternoon.
The tweet follows the release of an internal memo in which the company ordered its employees to immediately "remove signing and displays reference violence" in all of its departments.
Shortly after the recent mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, two companies have taken steps to avoid promoting violent video games — which some, including the president, have pointed to as a contributing factor in America’s high mass shooting rates.
Both Walmart and ESPN have temporarily distanced themselves from violent video games, despite the apparent lack of a causal link between games and mass shootings.
This week, Walmart employees were instructed to remove signage for violent video games and films, as well as change demonstration kiosks that would allow customers to try out such games.
Any events promoting violent video games were also canceled, and screens showing hunting videos were turned off as well.
but would not result in a change to the products sold.
Walmart also sells firearms, and is not currently planning to stop selling either the weapons or ammunition for them.

Shooting steadily– Any video will look a lot more professional and well-crafted if it is simply shot with a steady hand, and without too much disruption.
Unless the specific shots need some shaky movement, it is a good idea to invest a little bit in stabilizing the video quality.
While all of this can be handled at the post-production stages and done through editing, it is always a good idea to have them managed from the very beginning, which is the shooting stages.
Just switching up the perspective, or changing the angles often can help to keep viewers engaged and increase their attention to the video.
And don’t forget that it will involve huge amounts of editing when you finally put it together!
Focus on lighting– Lighting can often turn into an integral part of the way that your entire video pans out and the elements which gain the most attention.
