Sarah Sanders was responding to the press pool on Wednesday just as she normally does. But when 13 year-old Benje Choucroun asked Sanders about school shootings, she shifted her attention and the mother part of Sarah was in view. She has three young children of her own. When White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders took a question from a very young aspiring reporter at a White House press briefing, she got visibly choked up. This little boy’s question got to her more than any mainstream media mogul could and she choked up over what he said.
“At my school, we recently had a lockdown drill. One thing that affects my and other students’ mental health is the worry about we or our friends could get shot at school. Specifically, could you tell me what the administration has done or will do to prevent these senseless tragedies?” the Time for Kids reporter asked. “As a kid, and certainly as a parent, there is nothing that could be more terrifying for a kid to go to school and not feel safe, so I’m sorry that you feel that way,” responded Sanders, whose voice seemed to crack a bit as she replied.
“This administration takes it seriously and the school safety commission that the President convened is meeting again this week,” Sanders continued, “an official meeting to discuss the best ways forward and how we can do every single thing within our power to protect kids in our schools and to make them feel safe and their parents feel good about dropping them off.” President Trump will travel to Texas today to meet with the families of the victims of the s******g at Santa Fe High School earlier this month where 10 people were k****d.
The boy attends Marin Country School in Corte Madera, California (the San Francisco Bay area) and he was representing Time for Kids at the White House Sports and Fitness Day, according to NBC’s KNTV. Benje Choucroun also spoke out against g*n violence during the March For Our Lives rally in San Francisco in March. At that time he marched with his mother along with hundreds of others, calling for stricter g*n control laws. In an interview with NBC Bay Area, Choucroun – who has his own YouTube channel – said that he was marching in support of g*n control. So, the left has already gotten to the boy, but perhaps as he sees facts, he will come around.
“I’m here because I’m really concerned about the lax g*n laws that the NRA are pushing Republicans to make,” he said at the end of the rally. “I want to protect the students in our schools so that they don’t get k****d like those in Parkland and other school shootings.” Honey, you are doing it wrong.
The video of their exchange has been shared multiple times on social media and many are calling Choucroun a hero for asking the question. “Benje for president!” one Twitter user said. Their desperation is just getting silly.
