Rep. Richard Hudson of North Carolina, a member of House Republican leadership, on Wednesday blasted Democrats for calling a fourth grader who survived the Uvalde shooting and a mother of one of the victims of the Buffalo grocery store shooting to testify before the House Oversight and Reform Committee.
Democrats on the panel brought in 11-year-old Miah Cerrillo, who pretended to be dead by smearing her classmates’ blood to fool the shooter at Robb Elementary School, and Zeneta Everhart, whose 21-year-old son was killed in a racially motivated mass shooting, to speak before the committee ahead of the House’s votes on legislation that includes gun-related measures, which faces an uphill battle in the chamber. Cerrillo’s testimony was given via a video message from Texas.
