Biden heckled by mass shooting victim at White House event to celebrate new gun laws

The father of a mass shooting victim heckled President Biden at an event Monday on the White House’s South Lawn where the president was trying to showcase new gun-control laws.

Manuel Oliver, who lost his son in a 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, interrupted Mr. Biden’s speech to lambast him for not doing enough to curb gun violence. 

Wearing a shirt with his dead son’s photo on it, Mr. Oliver called out that Mr. Biden wasn’t aggressive enough on gun control.

“Sit down! You’ll hear what I have to say,” Mr. Biden told the grieving father who tried to shout over his speech.

Although it wasn’t clear what Mr. Oliver was saying, at one point he shouted to Mr. Biden, “I’ve been trying to tell you for years.”
