GOP lawmaker seems to suggest students calling for gun control are not students at all

As students were making their way to Florida’s Capitol in Tallahassee on Wednesday morning to demand gun law overhauls, a Republican lawmaker a few states away wrote a Facebook post that appeared to question whether the teenage protesters were, in fact, students. Pennsylvania state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe’s comments came as right-wing media figures have attacked the credibility of a handful of students who have become the most vocal advocates for gun control since a lone gunman killed 17 people at their high school in Parkland, Fla. Metcalfe, who once snapped at a male colleague for touching his arm during a meeting, notably used quotation marks twice when he referred to the students and cited his.
