Boone also complimented Parkland survivor Sarah Chadwick after her joke about Marco Rubio:

We should change the names of AR-15s to “Marco Rubio” because they are so easy to buy.

Dear Sarah, can we be friends?! You’re, like, the coolest. Why weren’t high school kids like YOU when I was in Florida?! https://t.co/BMWvKkMVJo
