Another acting role where he can call on his ability to appear emotional to get the audience's attention.
So the cold-blooded slaughter of 19 innocent children and 2 teachers doesn't warrant an emotional response? What planet do you inhabit?
A planet where I am also permitted to draw my own conclusions about the veracity of a performance by an actor seeking attention in relation to a political matter. Now let's see if I am permitted to express my conclusion freely.
When children are slaughtered in their classrooms, and the best the legislators can do is to offer "thoughts and prayers" I reckon that any effort to draw attention to the situation is worthwhile. When the person involved is an actor with a public profile, it works, and given the reaction (a bipartisan, if weak piece of legislation) his efforts have obviously paid off.
All of which doesn't mean that he wasn't merely putting on a professional show...you know, the sort of thing he does for a living, pretending to be something he is not.
Whether he was putting on a show or not, his speech has had a result of sorts. That's something that the US Congress and Senate has failed to do in decades. More power to his elbow. By the way, he was born in Uvalde, and he and his family knew some of the victims and their families.
