Park City, Utah (CNN)Donald Trump's recent remarks that he could "shoot somebody" and not lose political support was an "insult" to communities struck by gun violence, according to the director of a powerful new documentary about the mass school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
"It speaks to the insensitivity and the desensitization" surrounding the issue, Kim Snyder, whose film "Newtown" debuted here at the Sundance Film Festival, told CNN on Monday.
"Spending three years in and around Newtown with survivors in that community, you really do start to really understand the insult," she continued, "and what it feels like when people are so cavalier in speaking about gun violence in such an insensitive and cavalier way."
At a rally in Sioux City, Iowa, on Saturday, Trump said, "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters." Trump declined to respond when asked about what he said after the event.
