A woman who just survived her second shooting at a U.S. education institution has torn into Vice President JD Vance for what she says is MAGA’s inaction on deadly violence at schools. “It’s honestly laughable,” Zoe Weissman—who was just 12 when she witnessed the 2018 killings at a school in Parkland, Florida, and who on Saturday survived yet another shooting that left two dead and nine more injured at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island—told MS NOW Sunday. Her comments came in response to Vance’s public statement about the Ivy League college killings. “Terrible news out of Rhode Island this evening,” he wrote on X. “We’re all thinking of and praying for the victims tonight.”
