Parkland shooting survivor Kyle Kashuv has been in DC meeting with lawmakers and officials on both sides of the aisle in an attempt to show that bipartisanship is possible. He’s met with Sens. Cruz, Rubio, Schumer and THEN some.

Was an honor to meet with @KellyannePolls and @replouiegohmert. Kellyanne is a really special person who immediately ran over and gave me a hug. Seeing that people in Washington are real people has been unbelievable. pic.twitter.com/SuArkmQEeo

Policy and legislation aside, @senorrinhatch gave me a huge hug after we met and told me that I need to keep in touch with him. We need more people like him.
Mr. Senator, when I am in Utah let's go to a gun range and celebrate that law abiding citizens have the #2A. #MSDStrong pic.twitter.com/9yy5KiiVAg

But clearly, one of the highlights of his trip was meeting POTUS and FLOTUS! The pictures of him speaking with Melania are SO PRECIOUS.
Heartened to see children affected by tragedy using their voices to try and create change. Wonderful to meet and speak with Stoneman Douglas High School student @KyleKashuv today at the @WhiteHouse. His message of unity inspires us all! #MSDStrong pic.twitter.com/N5ZqdGruwT

Wonderful to meet @KyleKashuv today. His message of unity is one we should all share. Thank you for visiting us at the @WhiteHouse & hope you enjoyed your surprise meeting with @potus! Wishing you much success w @TheReachOutApp. pic.twitter.com/K4aGydo1uX

I love you, @FLOTUS @MELANIATRUMP. You're an unbelievable human. I am tearing up right now writing this and watching this video. I will never forget about what you've done for the people of Parkland. #MSDStrong https://t.co/pevQNq6B25

.@KellyannePolls said about me to a reporter is so heart tugging. I am tearing. @FLOTUS is a Saint. @realDonaldTrump cares. @StephGrisham45 means business. @marcorubio is ready to be bipartisan And @ChrisMurphyCT is ready to work on bipartisanship as well. https://t.co/VG9KcWqJYP

But some people haven’t been able to celebrate Kyle’s visit. They HAAAAATE that he met with the wife of Satan incarnate.
He set them straight.
Insulting @FLOTUS because you dislike her husband is immoral and an insult to what Mrs. Trump is doing with me. She is a Saint who 100% cares about this country and every American individually. If you knock her you're now attacking me.

Whoa.
Kyle also set the record straight after some reporter tried to make it sound like the White House is “using” Kyle.
It’s been interesting watching pro-Trump media, and now the Trump administration, promote the most vocally anti-gun control Parkland survivor just over the last few days https://t.co/C6D0AeaDiX

Will, that isn't what happened at all. I REQUESTED the meeting with @POTUS @realDonaldTrump. I ASKED WH to post. They didn't want to use me to push any narrative. In fact, they let me do it at my own pace. FLOTUS was such a genuine person. I really hope she becomes my mentor. https://t.co/FkDMu554w7

I love this kid’s determination. He’s giving everyone the time of day, but he’s ALSO not afraid to combat the straight up #FakeNews. That’s admirable. You go, Kyle.
