Teacher Maria Thorne confronted Speaker Paul Ryan at a fundraiser and he didn’t want to speak to her about the Parkland shooting. Ms Thorne went there, because she was having a difficult time explaining to her students how she could protect them from a mass shooting.

In recalling her exchange with Ryan, Thorne said she introduced herself as a teacher to the House Speaker, who responded, “Nice.”
