Meghan Markle’s Visit to Uvalde Sparks Controversy

's recent visit to Uvalde, Texas has stirred up a lot of controversy on social media.

The trip was made in the aftermath of a tragic shooting that took place on May 24th at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, where 19 children and two educators lost their lives.

While many people praised Meghan for her visit and her efforts to donate blood and food, others criticized it as a mere PR stunt.

Some even accused her of lingering at the memorial site just to check footage of herself.

Actor Matthew McConaughey, who also visited Uvalde, was impressed that Meghan used his hometown for a photo opportunity.

He was there to make a speech and show support for the victims and their families, not for himself.

Trending:

McConaughey spent part of his childhood in Uvalde, and he and his wife went door to door to meet with parents.

He has been using his money and celebrity to try and prevent such tragedies from happening again, without calling the media every two minutes.

In contrast, Meghan and her husband Harry donated a few dollars to a playground and seemed to be more concerned with getting their photos taken.

A source on Reddit even claimed that Meghan didn't even donate the food she brought with her.

According to the source, Meghan only wanted to help the hurt children by taking photos with them, and a few videos.

She was escorted out of the hospital by the Texas Highway Patrol, with the suggestion that if she wanted to help, she could go donate blood at the senior center.

The circus continued at Robb Elementary, where Meghan posed for more photos in mourning.

The small community of Uvalde, which has a strong sense of family, felt like they had been markled by an ego profiteer.

While Meghan didn't manage to get selfies with injured and traumatized children and parents, she still caused a stir.

The nurse who was present at the time claimed that there were no trays of sandwiches from Meghan, just three small vending machine sandwiches that were tossed out.

The drinks and chips were all courtesy of South Texas Blood for their donors.

In conclusion, Meghan's visit to Uvalde may have been well-intentioned, but it has left a sour taste in the mouths of many.

While Matthew McConaughey was there to support the community, Meghan seemed more interested in getting her photos taken.

This has led to accusations of her using the tragedy for her own gain.
