Except not everyone was happy with the teenager’s line of questioning. Like this Fox News presenter, for instance.

Well, if the Senator supported the sale of weapons that slaughtered kids, I’d call it a proud parent moment.

HERE TO DRAG YOUR RATIO, TODD.
But if my daughter lit into a spineless coward like Rubio on national TV, I'd ask afterward if she wanted to celebrate with ice cream.

If it was about this issue there were Republican and they taken money from the NRA I would applaud them. There is no respect for politicians anymore not since they started taking blood money from the NRA so heavily since 2012.

Tell her how proud of was of her. US Senators work for us. If she thinks her representative is failing, she should speak up.
