NBC’s Carol Lee: It’s Not Trump Who’s Showing Leadership Following Fla. Shooting, It’s the Students

‘It’s these young people who have this incredible emotional maturity’

EXCERPT:

LEE: "And we’ve seen this before where the President gets a little tugged in terms of where his policy positions are and where his supporters are and where, when it comes to kids, how he views things like that. Although I have to say he’s kind of lost the ground here in terms of when you look at this, what happened with this shooting, he’s not the one who is leading the nation in terms of comforting the country and people. It’s these kids. And that to me has been the most striking thing, is that all of us are looking for leadership and it’s not to the elected officials, it’s not to the President. It’s these young people who have this incredible emotional maturity. At this point, as you showed in those clips earlier, he's lost those people."
