WASHINGTON – Actor Matthew McConaughey on Tuesday used the megaphone of the White House and his own star power to urge leaders in Washington to address gun violence in honor of the young victims of the mass shooting in his hometown of Uvalde, Texas.
After meeting with President Joe Biden, McConaughey choked up as he shared the victims’ stories and pressed for action.
“This moment is different. We’re in a window of opportunity right now that we have not been in before, a window where it seems like real change – real change – can happen,” he said during an appearance at the White House briefing room.
