A leader in time of national crisis, comforts her people and acts decisively, NZ PM Jacinda Ardern

[TexasProgresive]

I saw PM Ardern on the news comforting survivors of the mosque shootings was was struck by her humanity. I could see President Obama doing this but never our current resident in the White House. Here we see evidence of real "thoughts and prayers" in action which will be followed by legal action to enact and enforce gun control in New Zealand. These shootings bring tears to my eyes but the bitterness is sweetened a bit by the joy of seeing real compassion. I know I am rambling, but it is tough to put my feelings into words that make sense.

This pic is good but if anyone can find the video of Ms. Ardern with the survivors please post it. Thanks - or if it is already up on DU direct me to the link.
