President Biden lashed out at the father of a school shooting victim on Monday, creating an even more disgruntled and angry situation.
The bereaved father called for the White House to do more to curb gun crime. Basically, he told Biden, ‘don’t just say it, actually do it’.
“Sit down! You’ll hear what I have to say,” Biden said in response as Manuel Oliver shouted over him during a South Lawn celebration of bipartisan firearm policy legislation that Biden signed last month.
“You have to do more than this!” yelled Oliver, whose 17-year-old son Joaquin was killed in the Feb. 14, 2018 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. “You have to open an office in the White House!”
“I’ve been trying to tell you this for years! And years!” Oliver added as some audience members broke out in applause.
“We have one. Let me finish my comments,” Biden pushed back on Oliver, before quickly adding, “Let him talk, let him talk.”
As Oliver was taken out of the event by security, the president disregarded him and went right back to his current speech, “Make no mistake about it, this legislation is real progress, but more has to be done.”
White House press secretary Karie Jean-Pierre tried to smooth things over by stating President Biden had met with Oliver earlier in the day before the event. She claimed Biden agreed with Oliver that more needs to be done.
Jean-Pierre did not say if Biden would create a new gun control position and said she was unaware of what precisely Biden and Oliver discussed.
Hours after the lawn incident, Oliver joined other mass shooting survivors and family members of victims at a news conference held by gun control group Guns Down America.
“I just told the president, who I know personally, who I voted for, who I campaigned for, ‘President Biden, you’ve got to do more,’ Manuel Oliver said as his wife, Patricia, stood alongside him. “I have nothing to lose. I don’t have a problem by saying things the way that I say them … You cannot be polite with gun violence, because gun violence is not polite with you.”
Oliver tweeted Monday morning before the event that he was upset about plans to celebrate the new law, which includes enhanced background checks for would-be gun buyers between the ages of 18 and 21.
“The word CELEBRATION has no space in a society that saw 19 kids massacred just a month ago,” Oliver wrote.
“It’s like we’re going to a party, to a wedding today … I really wish there were more in this package of bills,” he said in an interview before he went to the White House.
He will fail on this like everything he tries to “fix” and then blame someone else for all his failures.
Me. Oliver’s first mistake was that he campaigned and vote for the “Special Guy.” Ole’ Joe don’t care about the average person. He’ll act like he care election time.
He’s a doddering old idiot, he’s classless and a true scum bag. His son is a crack smoking, whore chasing, money stealing addfict. What a shit show, great job you ass hole democrats, this is the best you have.
Agreed …. You forgot China Servant. That is right we have a President that was illegally forced on us who is reading china’s approved teleprompter. Hopefully things will start being more patriotic come November.God Bless America.
ABSOLUTELY AND that’s putting it mildly, anyone who voted for that sad sack cannot be a patriotic American, he is doing everything he can to ruin this once great country and the media loves it.
Hopefully, and soon, BIDUMB won’t be telling anyone to do anything. Hopefully, he dies soon !
Muslims and he/shes in his administration. thousands more immigrants who will run the streets and nobody will be safe. I know Jesus will return soon and liberals like him will be toast.
Oliver you reaped what you sown. Next time vote smarter. Democrats hate us.
So Biden has proven that they are in office to completely take away our rights. He violated this man’s first amendment right in the truest sense of the word. Biden, being CIC of the US government, silenced a US citizen, denying his freedom of speech and had him forcefully removed. I hope all you liberal, democrats are happy. The next democrat I hear complaining about mass shootings, inflation, interest rates, gas etc, I will exercise my first amendment right and tell them to shut up and sit down. They got us here and their people are doing nothing but travelling around talking and spending my kids social security.
