As thousands of students and parents rallied in Washington to demand stricter gun control laws, the White House sent out a message to applaud those who gathered for exercising their right to free speech, and underscored that keeping children safe is President Donald Trump’s top priority.
“We applaud the many courageous young Americans exercising their First Amendment rights today. Keeping our children safe is a top priority of the President’s, which is why he urged Congress to pass the Fix NICS and STOP School Violence Acts, and signed them into law,” said White House Deputy Press Secretary Lindsay Walters.
