Aalayah Eastmond, a survivor of the February mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Fla., on Friday offered harrowing testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee during the final day of the hearing on the nomination of President Trump Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh.
She expressed concern about Kavanaugh's views on guns, noting that she thinks he would strike down any assault weapons ban. She urged the committee to appoint a judge who will keep Americans safe from gun violence.
She told the committee in grave detail about the day a gunman opened fire in the classroom she was in and how she used the body of a classmate who had been shot to shield herself from the bullets.
I followed every movement of his body, she said. When he fell over, I fell over with him. I then placed myself underneath his lifeless body. Placing his arm across my body and my head underneath his back. Bullets continued flying.
She also slammed Kavanaugh over reports that he refused to shake the hand of a slain classmates father earlier in the week.
If Kavanaugh doesnt even have the decency to shake hands with the father of a victim, he definitely wont have the decency to make life-changing decisions that affect real people, she said.
Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter died in the Parkland shooting, has accused Kavanaugh of refusing to shake his hand when he tried to introduce himself to the nominee on Tuesday.
The White House pushed back on that account, saying security intervened, but Guttenberg has said he's certain Kavanaugh asked his security detail to remove him from the hearing room.
Ahhh the republicans used to wave the bloody short in congress.... its a long established technique
Yeah, I was already reminded of my goof. LOL
“They wear it like a badge of honor.”
I know what you mean. PARKLAND SURVIVOR, in the libs eyes, carries the same authority and honor as a survivor of Nazi Death Camps or the Bataan Death March.
Fact, 99.9% of what I hear is stored as fake.
Basic Commie playbook stuff used by i(D)iots. If you do not like the 2nd Amendment, the Constitution provides a way to change it; not RAGING MOB nor SINGLE SOB story. Be careful what you wish for !!!!
“Sorry that action is preserved for We need abortion to save womens lives testimony day”
Feinstein already pulled that with the hundreds of thousands of women killed from abortions pre-Roe. Actually, that’s the estimates for abortions, not women killed.
John Kerry should bring in James Taylor to sing a song to the Senate about how scary Kavanaugh is. Maybe a duet with Carole King.
Thanks.
All the whining and political stunts in the world can’t pour white-out over the 2nd amendment, deal with it!
Because as long as the 2nd Amendment is in place - and we’re willing to FIGHT to defend it - the Left can’t murder us all without a LOT of pain coming back at them.
It boils down to that,. They know it.
And WE know it.
And as I’ve said before - it’s only words on paper unless ordinary folks with guns are willing to fight to protect it.
Damn right, NFH!
All the BS and blather is just that - BS and blather. It reminds me of the line from Apocalypse Now:
Charlies in the bush, eating rat meat, getting stronger.
Meanwhile you still have many on our side that thinks the whole fn thing is nothing more than a vicars tea party - just like the morons who packed picnics to watch the first few battles of the Civil War. Theyre as much an enemy as the filth were up against.
What are the chances that Marjorie Stoneman Douglas went to Wellesley, the same college that Hillary went to and a school named after Douglas would later have a school shooting?
What are the chances that she would be given a Presidential Medal of Freedom when she was 103 by Bill Clinton and a school named after her would later have a school shooting?
What are the chances that a journalist who eulogized Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, Carl Hiassen would then subsequently have a brother killed in a shooting at a newspaper?

What are the chances that Debbie Wasserman Schultz who had to resign from the DNC for favoring Hillary in the convention process would have this school shooting happen at a public school in her district?
