It's MUCH easier to cope with the Brown University school shooting knowing Vance offered his thoughts & prayers.

"Terrible news out of Rhode Island this evening. We're all monitoring the situation and the FBI stands ready to do anything to help," Vance wrote on social media before adding, "We're all thinking of and praying for the victims tonight."

Sophomore Zoe Weissman, who also survived the Parkland shooting, was asked on MS NOW about the vice president's comment.

The host asked her, "Is that enough from leadership in this country? What more do you think students want to hear?"

Weissman replied, "It's honestly laughable."

"This administration was the same one that was in power when the shooting in Parkland happened, and they said the same exact thing. They sent their thoughts and prayers and told us that they were thinking of us. Clearly they weren't," she said. "If they actually cared about us and they were actually praying for us, and they actually wanted us to do well, they would do something to end the gun violence problem in this country. And I think a lot of my fellow students can agree with that, that we're fed up with the current administration and congress is inaction."
