Quotable: The Politics of the Parkland Massacre


I did not want this book to be political. I was never a political guy. I never even voted until 2016. After Meadow was murdered, I wanted to fight for something that I thought all Americans could come together on: school safety ...

I've been over every inch of what happened. The NRA had nothing to do with it.

This happened in a Democrat county with a Democrat sheriff, a Democrat superintendent, and a Democrat school board, implementing Democrat ideas on criminal justice, Democrat ideas on special education, and Democrat ideas on school discipline. And after Democrat voters gave all these Democrats a resounding vote of confidence in the school board election, the Democrat teachers union president, Anna Fusco, wrote in a Facebook group about our campaign for accountability: "Now you can all shut up!"

Meanwhile, at the national level, Democrat organizers swooped in and weaponized my daughter's murder for their Democrat agenda and to fund-raise to elect more Democrats.
