As one Twitter user said today, nothing but respect for our future President, Emma Gonzalez!
Gonzalez is a student who attends Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida — the school that was the center of attention this week after a shooter killed 17 people there on Wednesday afternoon.

Today, an anti-gun rally is taking place at the school down in Florida as we speak, and Gonzalez is absolutely leading the charge against the NRA, and against politicians who accept NRA money, in a measured, intelligent, effective clap back against the gun rights crowd.
And she’s being absolutely brilliant!!!
Watch her completely dismantle gun culture and the shitty politics of our country regarding guns (below)!!!

Watch out, Marco Rubio! This girl is coming for your job — and she’s already doing a better job than you ever have!!
It wasn’t lost on the world just how fiery Emma was on stage, either!
Ch-ch-check out the BEST reactions to her world-changing words (below)!!!
Marjory Stoneman Douglas student Emma Gonzalez is a hero. She’s calling out Trump and the NRA by name at this rally. Getting people to reply to NRA talking points with “We call BS!” Most are. A few visibly uncomfortable adults on stage. But not many.

Watching an interview of teen Emma Gonzalez on CNN and can we just talk about how EDUCATED this girl is? I was smart in HS but this girl is throwin’ down truth. Can I, as a 23 year old, look up to an 17/18 year old? Bc she’s my new queen.

I don’t know Emma Gonzalez who is speaking on @CNN from Parkland High School but she’s my new hero. The three of you are ones who can make things change. Lots of love to you three.

#ShameOnYou I’m watching Emma Gonzalez on CNN giving a fantastic speech on the mass shooting at Parkland, FL. She is really giving it to the politicans who are taking money from the NRA.
