As Twitchy reported earlier, Parkland shooting survivor Kyle Kashuv — who was never given the media spotlight that other, more openly pro-gun control students received — has been making the rounds in Washington.
You’re unlikely to see much of it on cable news, but Kashuv has been meeting with legislators — as well as President Trump and first lady Melania Trump — to show off his “ReachOut” app, which would allow students to provide each other with emotional support and help them recognize and report warning signs.
Today was amazing. Getting to speak with @realDonaldTrump, @FLOTUS, @SenTedCruz, @senorrinhatch, @marcorubio @SpeakerRyan, @replouiegohmert, @KellyannePolls and showing them my app @TheReachOutApp was surreal. Thank you @Michaelgr1011 for setting this up! Love u, @KellyannePolls

Great meeting with @KyleKashuv a student at #MSDStrong who is working hard to find common ground on #GunViolence We should all be able to agree that we need to improve identifying potential shooters & stop them before they act. That’s why we need to pass #StopSchoolViolenceAct

“You’re doing the Lords work in raising these issues.” Hatch, to Parkland student @KyleKashuv on his efforts to stop school violence by championing safer, more loving schools. #utpol pic.twitter.com/7h4nsvdaRq

Perhaps what I admire most about Parkland survivor, @KyleKashuv, is that he has something to say, but he’s sufficiently humble to listen/learn from people on all sides of the gun debate. https://t.co/jOxrxVic2S
