Father of Florida shooting victim: Rubio never reached out to offer condolences

The father of a Parkland, Fla., shooting victim intensified his criticisms of Sen. Marco Rubio (R) on Saturday, saying the Florida senator never reached out personally to offer condolences after his daughter was killed.

Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter Jaime Guttenberg was one of 17 people killed by a gunman at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last month, has been a vocal critic of Rubio's handling of gun control following the shooting.

"Every single elected official in this state who represents me, as well as some on a national level and from other states, called me in the aftermath to offer condolence," Guttenberg told MSNBC's Joy Reid. "Senator Rubio? Not even a tweet, not even a text, not a phone call."

Guttenberg ripped Rubio over a tweet in which the senator said the post-Parkland debate "reminds us We the People don't really like each other very much."
