'While we honor and acknowledge the victims, we need to recognize that this time, seems that something is different,' said Matthew McConaughey in a fiery eulogy for the victims of the Uvalde school shooting.
Texas native Matthew McConaughey appeared Tuesday afternoon in the White House briefing room and delivered a fiery eulogy for several of the victims of the elementary school shooting in his hometown of Uvalde.
McConaughey capped a two-day run through Washington, D.C., by honoring several of the children who died at Robb Elementary School last month, wondering aloud whether their deaths could spur legislative changes aimed at preventing future tragedies. McConaughey discussed how 10-year-old Maite Rodriguez was determined to be a marine biologist, contacting Texas A&M University’s Corpus Christi campus years before she even entered high school. He displayed her green high-top Converse sneakers, complete with a hand-drawn red heart on the right toe that symbolized her love for nature.
The actor also recounted his visit to Uvalde, where he was born, which included meeting with victims’ families, funeral directors, and morticians. Further underscoring the horrific nature of the mass shooting, he cited a conversation with one cosmetologist who specialized in mortuary make-up.
