4:04Now PlayingThe father of a Parkland shooting victim made an emotional plea Monday for US President Donald Trump's second term, insisting "the safety of our kids depends on whether this man is reelected."
Andrew Pollack, whose daughter Meadow was killed when a gunman opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, said he never wanted to be part of a "political spectacle."
Pollack said he got to know Trump when he was invited to the White House following the shooting.
And he said he "got to see who President Trump really is. He's a good man and a great listener, and he cuts through the B.S.. Then the president did what he said he would do. He took action."
Parkland father Andrew Pollack says he believes the "safety of your kids depends" on whether President Donald Trump wins a second term.
Pollack blames a culture of leniency that failed to hold the gunman accountable for many transgressions that occurred before the shooting, which killed 17 people. He says gun control laws didn't fail his daughter, but people did.
Pollack blames the school for ignoring those warning signs. He also says "far-left Democrats" implemented a policy designed to reduce school suspensions that he says blames teachers for student failures.
