SUNRISE,
Fla. (AP) — Republican Sen. Marco Rubio was put on the defensive
Wednesday by angry students, teachers and parents who are demanding
stronger gun-control measures after the shooting rampage that claimed 17
lives at a Florida high school.
One
of those confronting the Florida senator at a CNN's "Stand Up" town
hall Wednesday night was Fred Guttenberg, whose 14-year-old daughter
Jaime was killed on Feb. 14 with 16 others. Rubio was the lone
Republican at the nationally broadcast gathering after Florida's GOP
Gov. Rick Scott and President Donald Trump declined invitations to
appear at the event in Sunrise, Florida.
Guttenberg told Rubio that his comments about the shooting "and those of your president this week have been pathetically weak."
People
stood up and cheered Guttenberg as he challenged Rubio to tell him the
truth, to acknowledge that "guns were the factor in the hunting of our
kids."
Guttenberg added, "And tell me you will work with us to do something about guns."
