Teen debunks ‘crisis actor’ conspiracy and it’s the funniest stunned silence you’ll hear this week
Right wing commentators have suggested that some of the teenagers speaking out after the Florida shooting are ‘crisis actors’ – people who are paid to use school massacres to press the case for gun reform.
We know, we know.
Except this guy was having none of it and put it brilliantly. So brilliantly that presenter Wolf Blitzer had no idea what he was talking about.
When asked about the conspiracy theories he says you wouldn’t ask that if you’d have seen him in the school’s Fiddler on the Roof.

And here’s a flavour of what people made of it online.
Is Wolf Blitzer on a satellite delay or a sense of humour delay? Great line. Those kids are so impressive.

I know this is a serious situation at the moment but this kid’s deadpan delivery of that line has me in TEARS. And Wolf’s “Ehh… I…”
I needed this.

Also priceless for Wolf’s stunned silence

I love all of them. They make me almost wish I’d had kids (almost).

Except some people drew an odd conclusion.
So he is an actor
