Matthew McConaughey now...wow...

[Satch59]

At WH press briefing…. This needs to be broadcast all day long. Talking about these kids…so powerful…omg…

[muriel_volestrangler]

1. "these kids"? Ulvalde?

Some context would be good.

[Satch59]

7. Sorry...

Was so struck by the power of him talking about being from Uvalde and the stories of the children, forgot to add more context…

3. Surprised - FOX is carrying this live. nt

[SKKY]

4. McConaughey For President comments in 3, 2, 1...

[malaise]

5. Which media asshole asked him if he was grandstanding?

[BigMin28]

6. Mr. McConaughey

Is pissed off.

[Beachnutt]

8. He refused to call out the rethugs

or name names of who is holding up legislation.

[dem4decades]

12. Is Senator Murphy calling out those he hopes will join him? No

That's counter productive to the ultimate goal.

[Beachnutt]

13. I respectfully disagree

The obvious obstructors should be called out by name imo.

[TheRealNorth]

16. I agree with a caveat....

The media should be doing their fucking job and identifying where politicians stand on the issues, rather than to goad people into finger pointing he-said, she-said both siderism.

[PortTack]

15. He no doubt was trying to appeal to "the better angels of our nature." So I agree with all of it

It was well thought out and presented..after all that’s what he does for a living. AND this way the aholes on fux can’t call him out for being partisan.

18. Picking a fight isn't going to help

We have what appears to be a moment where just a few of them are willing to talk and something may be done. Something.

I had no idea that waiting periods are gone in so many states. I guess that was done with little attention or it mushroomed from states where the NRA rules.

He was very well thought out on this. I agree with what he had to say.

Something.

9. More direct link. Watching this when I get home.

I don’t want to cry at work. Damn. Tearing up anyway.

[sheshe2]

11. I just watched it live and yes you will cry.

[underpants]

17. It took me two sessions but I watched it.

Oh I cried. My wife and I ran into it on the news (we don’t watch the news shows). It was just parts but she was torn up too.

I completely agree with what he said.

[sheshe2]

19. He brought the children back to life...

He brought the children back to life for a brief moment so we could see them as they were and what they could have been.

[sheshe2]

10. He was born and raised in Uvalde.

His mom taught kindergarten a mile from Robb school.

I agree with you, Satch, that was powerful.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

14. I watched the speech live on the WH link
