Marco Rubio told the Parkland survivors to their face, on a stage, that he would continue to support school shootings and every Democrat in the Senate voted to confirm him for secretary of state because they care about being friends with him above anything else
Several students who sheltered in place during Thursday’s deadly shooting at Florida State University shared a traumatizing coincidence: They had also endured the Parkland, Florida, school massacre in 2018.
Several FSU Students Also Endured Parkland School Shooting

E.g. every law firm should commit to not providing any legal services to Trump or his allies as long as he keeps attacking individual firms.
