Republican just slammed post-massacre anti-gun march. Florida survivor’s response is EPIC

Former Republican Georgia congressman and current CNN commentator, Jack Kingston, took to Twitter to doubt the legitimacy of the “March for our Lives” that the survivors of last week’s Florida school shooting are holding in Washington D.C. on March 24.

Kingston wrote, “O [sic], realy [sic]?  ‘Students’ are planning a nationwide rally? Not left wing [sic] gun control activists using 17yr kids in the wake of a horrible tragedy? #Soros #Resistance #Antifa #DNC.”

Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School student and one of the #NeverAgain organizers, Sarah Chadwick, immediately blasted Kingston to smithereens with her defiant reply.

Young Ms. Chadwick’s tweets and comments fearlessly challenging President Trump and other Republican lawmakers for their stance on guns have gone viral in the days since the shooting.

After the hideous massacre that took place in Parkland, Florida last Wednesday, resulting in the deaths of 14 teens and three teachers, Chadwick and other students from Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School came together to ignite the #NeverAgain movement and plan the “March for our Lives,” demanding that NRA-backed Republican lawmakers reform gun laws once and for all. 

Conservative NRA lackeys immediately took to social media to attack the grieving teens who have so bravely inspired the country in the wake of witnessing their friends and educators slaughtered.

However, celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, and George and Amal Clooney, have committed large sums to help the movement, with the Clooneys even volunteering to march alongside the kids.

“President” Trump, meanwhile, signed an executive order last year, reversing Obama-era restrictions intended to prevent mentally ill people, like the Parkland shooter, from accessing weapons, including the semi-automatic AR-15 used in most U.S. massacres.

Parkland is the 59th mass shooting at or near an American school this academic year, with this nation’s gun massacres far outnumbering those that occur in any other wealthy country.

Americans stand appalled with the inaction of Republicans in Washington who would rather defend the NRA than their own constituents.

However, the powerful words and organized action of Chadwick and her fellow young organizers will help Democrats oust the Republican politicians who choose gun profits over kids.
