By Cassandra Stone March 27, 2023 Tyler Cohen/Twitter Rectangle Ashbey Beasley, a mother and mass shooting survivor herself, interrupted Fox News live broadcast to call out the station and Republican viewers for their lack of support for gun reform. “How is this still happening? How are our children still dying and why are we failing them?” she asks in the clip, now going viral on Twitter. Woah. A mother in Nashville just took over a live stream on Fox News to call out Republicans’ opposition to gun reform.

The shooting occurred on Monday morning at the Covenant School, a Christian elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee. At least three children and three staff members were shot and killed, officials say. “I’m from Highland Park, Illinois,” she continues. “My son and I survived a mass shooting over the summer.” Related: At least 3 children and 3 adults killed in ‘active shooting’ at Nashville Christian school In the clip, Beasley says she’s been lobbying in Washington, D.C., since surviving the shooting. She also said she’s met with over 130 lawmakers on the issue since then as well. “Gun violence is the number one killer of children and teens,” she continues. “These mass shootings will continue to happen until our lawmakers step up and pass gun safety legislation.” Andy Ogles, the Tennesee representative overseeing the Covenant school, shared this image as his family’s Christmas card just last year: THIS is last year's Christmas card from Tennessee Rep.

No one who was shot survived. Following up with an appearance on CNN, Beasley brings up a solid, if depressing, point: “It’s only in America. Can somebody survive a mass shooting and then go on vacation and find themselves in another involved like near another mass shooting?” Categories: Viral & Trending Related articles News Mom checks 12-year-old’s over-stuffed locker–and is shocked by what she finds January 23, 2025 News The Costco conversation that left a mom in tears—and a lesson we all need to hear January 22, 2025 Viral & Trending Mom’s viral rewrite of ‘Popular’ from Wicked is the empowering anthem we all need December 5, 2024 News The whirlwind years: What a viral TikTok gets so right about parenting 3 under 5 November 13, 2024 Viral & Trending This mom’s video of a playground in Japan will have you wanting to pack your bags September 5, 2024
