What Does Trump Blame the Parkland Shooting On? The Russia Investigation

Trump tried to blame the Florida shooting on the FBI Russia probe, while survivors beg for action on gun control.

The president recently tweeted, “Very sad that the FBI missed all of the many signals out by the Florida school shooter. This is not acceptable. They are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign — there is no collusion. Get back to the basics and make us all proud!”

Voices from the Florida shooting immediately responded.

@longlivekcx tweeted, “…my friends were brutally murdered and you have the nerve to make this about Russia. I can not believe this.”

@morgan_44 tweeted, “Oh my god.  !7 OF MY CLASSMATES AND FRIENDS ARE GONE AND YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO MAKE THIS ABOUT RUSSIA?? HAVE A DAMN HEART. You can keep all of your fake and meaningless “thoughts and prayers.”

Trumps tweet was infuriating for many and seen as a way to derail the gun control conversation, while trying to further discredit the Russia probe.

TV host Joy Reid pointed out the falsities of his claim stating in a tweet, “The FBI is part of the executive branch which you run, so presumably you know that its counterintelligence and domestic crime divisions are completely separate. And yet you would use massacre victims — dead children and teachers — to try and further obstruct the justice system.”

Despite Trump’s horrible attempts, survivors are still demanding that congress pass gun control legislation.
