Smegielski said that she thought of the shooting when she watched Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, saying threatening remarks against the Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton. Trump said:

“By the way, and if she gets the pick—if she gets the pick of her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I dunno.”

Smegielski wrote in Cosmopolitan magazine about the Sandy Hook incident. She said:

“There’s a thing you don’t understand about gunshots until two detectives show up to drop off your mom’s clothes after her murder. Bullets the size of a pencil eraser hit hard. They can break apart, causing baseball-size holes in a shirt that used to smell like your mom. I doubt Trump thinks about that when he tosses off lines like the one he used this week — which he then says disingenuously was simply about getting out the vote.”

“Almost every day since my mom’s murder, I have been told that I am a bitch, a fraud, a crisis actor, and a liar. I have heard from Sandy Hook truthers who claim that 20 children and six educators didn’t die at Sandy Hook — that the darkest day of my life was staged to push for gun safety. They tweet at me consistently, and when I speak out on common-sense gun measures, they tweet more.”

Trump is telling his minions that liberals are trying to take their guns away. These same people are the ones calling Ms. Smegielski a fraud and a liar.

We have gotten so frustrated with Republicans not doing anything about gun violence. Our Democratic Representatives actually had a sit-in over it in Congress. These shootings just keep happening and Republicans won’t do anything about. The NRA needs to get out of politics so we can be safer.

Here is her speech from the Democratic National Convention:
