White House relieved dead kids offer break from self-made scandals
Anything to avoid questions on domestic violence and Russia.
America stood together in shock, horror and grief as Parkland, Florida, saw the third-deadliest mass shooting in history.
But for members of the White House, the reaction was relief.
According to a new report from the Washington Post, an anonymous official said of the horrific event, “For everyone, it was a distraction or a reprieve … A lot of people here felt like it was a reprieve from seven or eight days of just getting pummeled.”
Among members of the administration, the shooting “seemed to shift the media glare away from the Trump scandals and gave embattled aides an opportunity to refocus on handling a rare crisis not of their own making.” - ShareBlue
