Kyle Kashuv, the Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school student who has expressed very different opinions from some of his peers on gun control, talked about the March for Our Lives on Face the Nation today.
Kashuv had some issues with the march yesterday and he told Margaret Brennan today, “What I saw at the march yesterday which really frustrated me is that I have a different point of view, but what really concerned me was that how come I wasn’t invited to speak at the march because as Americans we all have different point of views. And it’s important to represent them all equally.”
He said there hasn’t been nearly enough focus on law enforcement failures in Parkland and calls for Sheriff Scott Israel to be held accountable:
“We’ve seen on so many different levels that the cowards of Broward failed, the FBI failed, Sheriff Scott Israel failed. So many different multilayered levels failed in Parkland and it’s absolutely reprehensible that I didn’t see one single poster yesterday at the march that said… F Sheriff Scott Israel.”
“This can happen again if our government does not do what it’s supposed to do,” Kashuv said. “And I find it ironic that after all this and we’ve seen so many different government failures, we want to trust the government even more.”
Brennan noted the strong disagreements he
Kashuv said there’s a “silent minority” that agrees with him, and he said it “pains me to see” how Senator Marco Rubio is being portrayed in the media.
