President Trump speaks during a Cabinet meeting at the White House on March 8. Trump himself opened the meeting by showing “a montage of clips of various violent video games,” said Rep. Vicky Hartzler, a Republican from Missouri. After the meeting, Rubio acknowledged there is no evidence linking violent video games to the tragedy in Parkland. Years earlier, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) sought to restrict sales of mature-themed video games to minors. At the moment, federal law still bans the Center for Disease Control and Prevention from studying issues like gun violence and video games.
