Oscar-winning actor Matthew McConaughey has appeared at the White House to call on Congress to “reach a higher ground” and pass gun control legislation in honour of the children and teachers killed in last month’s shooting rampage at a primary school in his hometown of Uvalde in Texas.
In a highly-personal 22-minute speech on Tuesday, McConaughey used his star power to argue strongly for legislation, vividly detailing the loss of the 19 children and two teachers in the second-worst mass school shooting in the history of the United States.
