Fred Guttenberg is one of the most outspoken parents of victims of the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas high school mass shooting in Parkland, Florida.
He’s worked tirelessly for almost a year since he lost his daughter, Jaime, one year ago tomorrow in that horrific massacre that stole the lives of 17 people.
Howard Schultz appeared on CNN Tuesday night. The cable news giant is being criticized for giving the former Starbucks CEO a town hall even though he has no actual policy positions to speak of, and is not even a declared candidate for president.
Schultz angered many who watched, by doing what he has done since he announced he might run: he attacked Democrats.

He didn’t stop there.
“If this is lane you are choosing to sound like a Republican, you failed.”
Guttenberg also noted he’ll be on “Nightline” tonight:
Schultz does not appear to have responded.
