Trump Ally Tries To Remove Parkland Fathers From Gun Violence Hearing


https://www.npr.org/2019/02/06/692046272/trump-ally-tries-to-remove-parkland-fathers-from-gun-violence-hearing


A longtime Trump ally pushed to have two fathers of Parkland victims tossed out of a congressional hearing on gun violence — a reflection of the vociferous nature of the debate Democrats have made a priority in the new Congress.

I don't plan to forget - what a difference

9. My God they fight hard on the right to make sure regular Americans

die needlessly.

11. I remember when the scumbag tried that

I love Fred- his pain reached me- nice to see some empathy.
The worst part of suspected trafficker Gaetz was that he is a Florida Rep and that horrific slaughter was in his state.

I’d slap that fool inside out.

[applegrove]

15. I don't remember any of that. Thanks for informing me.

[malaise]

27. That lack of empathy leaves a mark

in my brain

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

2. Wow. Thank you for posting.

The thing is, Biden has been there, losing his wife and daughter in a car accident. While not quite the same as having your child murdered by a gunman, he knows exactly what it is like to lose someone so suddenly.

[applegrove]

4. And he lost Beau several years ago. While he was VP.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

13. That, also.

I'm sending you a PM

[Initech]

3. So glad to have a president who cares back in charge!

Remember when Trump threw him out of the SOTU? That really pissed me off!

[onecaliberal]

5. When he says at the end "I've just been there". My God this man. Thank you for him.

18. It's the most honest thing to say.

It's not a super power. When a spouse or child die while you're still relatively young, you get a real perspective on grief and a long time to think about it.

[onecaliberal]

28. He has managed to continue to live vibrantly after two very horrific events in his life.

I think it could easily make one very bitter, but President Biden was able to rise to the occasion. Not once, but twice. We are so fortunate that fate has kept such a man to lead America at this very tumultuous time.

[plimsoll]

31. Possibly, but the real thing he hasn't done is disappear those losses.

You're supposed to not discuss them, not bring them up and be over it. People in general don't want to hear about it. That may be his super power.

[onecaliberal]

32. It's true. People think you should get over it in a week.

[Deuxcents]

6. I think I'm gonna cry.

[Skittles]

12. I very much admire Mr. Guttenberg

there simply is no better way to honor his daughter than what he is doing

[Jarqui]

14. These are two very fine men ..

Thanks for posting.

[Grown2Hate]

16. "I've just been there."

Amazingly compassionate and humble. Great person. Great President.

[RussBLib]

17. so nice to have a good man as prez

vs that orange pig before him. To watch Biden get shredded on Fox is like another universe.

[BobTheSubgenius]

19. Damn it!

In the middle of watching this, I had some kind of event happen, and it became hard to swallow. I'm going to have to watch it again.

[JI7]

20. Fred Guttenberg was one of Biden's best supporters

You could tell how much his heart was into it and this helps show why .

[Alice Kramden]

21. K&R big time

Whatta guy!

[Biophilic]

22. Oh, yeah. That makes me feel so good. Both awesome men.

[PatSeg]

23. Wow, I'm getting misty-eyed here

I love our Joe.

[Martin Eden]

24. It is so heartening that we have a president

Who is not a sociopath.

[Novara]

25. You guys all said it:

This is how a president should be. Compassionate.

We have to do everything we can to make sure he is re-elected. I can't fathom going backwards to that monster in 2024.

[PittBlue]

26. My God...

I love Joe Biden.

[Achilleaze]
