Father of Parkland victim shouts objection as Biden ‘celebrates’ new gun law

Manuel Oliver, whose son Joaquin was killed in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre, interrupted President Joe Biden’s speech Monday during a White House event commemorating the new law aimed at reducing gun violence.

Oliver could be heard shouting, but exactly what he said wasn’t audible on the video stream of the event on the White House grounds or to some news reporters present at the event.

Politico reported that when Biden said the new law is proof “we can make meaningful progress on dealing with gun violence,” Oliver yelled, “We have to do more than that!” and added, “I’ve been trying to tell you this for years.”
