[Rhiannon12866]

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell details the emotional testimony from survivors and families of victims of mass shootings during a House hearing on the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, including the one disturbingly graphic word used to describe the injuries the children suffered due to an AR-15 assault rifle.
