Parkland Student Kyle Kashuv: Trump ‘Does Care About Stopping School Violence’
With the cable news networks covering on the pro-gun control March For Our Lives rally today, much of the focus has been on the Marjory Stoneman Douglas students that helped organize the nationwide protests.
One student that isn’t speaking at the march is Kyle Kashuv. While many of his fellow students have been outspoken in their advocacy for gun control in the wake of the tragic Parkland shooting, Kashuv has been just as outspoken in his support for the Second Amendment and his belief that more gun control will not help end school gun violence.
As Fox News was covering the march, they brought Kashuv on the air to comment. Noting that Kashuv wasn’t invited to speak, Fox News anchor Leland Vittert asked Kasuv about his thoughts on other Parkland students calling for gun control.
The young high schooler criticized fellow student David Hogg for hanging up on the president’s office, stating it “paints a bad light on our entire generation.” He then went on to praise POTUS for trying to stop gun violence.
“And as not understanding that the president has so much power and he — the issue was that you have to respect the presidency and getting stuff done and the president understood that the way that they were going about it was wrong,” he noted. “And I really think that he does care about stopping school violence with the Stop the School Violence Act into law.”
Later on in the segment, Kashuv said that many of the marchers “truly don’t know what they are marching for,” claiming he spoke to many individuals in the march and they told him they are marching to end school violence.
“The marchers don’t understand all the facts they’re talking about,” he said after stating that the march is mostly to ban assault weapons. “Marching is great and activism in raising awareness for the issue but if you don’t know what they’re marching for, that’s an issue.”
