White House official: School shooting gave us a ‘reprieve’ from being ‘pummeled’ on Rob Porter scandal
An anonymous White House official has told the Washington Post that last week’s horrific school shooting in Parkland, Florida felt like something of a “reprieve” for a White House staff that was deeply battered by scandal.
In an interview with the Washington Post, the official said that the mass shooting, which left 17 people dead, took some of the heat off the Trump White House for its handling of former staff secretary Rob Porter, whom the White House fired after credible allegations emerged that be beat his two former wives.
“For everyone, it was a distraction or a reprieve,” the official said. “A lot of people here felt like it was a reprieve from seven or eight days of just getting pummeled.”
However, the official also lamented that news coverage of the shooting would inevitably die down in the coming days, which would lead to more media focus on administration scandals.
“But as we all know, sadly, when the coverage dies down a little bit, we’ll be back through the chaos,” the official said.

Trump plans to have a 'listening session' with the kids from the Parkland school , and one kid said (on tv) he plans to ask the President how much money he received from the NRA.
That's going to be one awkward moment.

Perhaps the kids should must better write letters to the first lady.

1. The context is important, not the person.
Arguing the person is a kid used as political tool is like trying not to respond to the context by admitting that the context is correct.
2. When every individual has the same and equal rights, but some people's rights appear more important than others, through arguing to maintain the rights however which are in fact built upon at the expense of others (especially the kids without defense abilities, or escape possibilities).
Due to losing the right of peaceful living, losing the right of without constant fear, losing the right of being killed by unknown shooters anytime at school/else, losing the right of being freely studying at school, losing the right to touch/kiss her/his kids for one more day, losing the right of ....
That should be obviously a very very serious problem (insanity and unexplained mystery) form people's view from many many countries internationally.
Why some people's rights are far more important than many many others? Why? ...
