On My Block star apologizes for her past pro-Trump and anti-gun control tweets, saying she's learned "so much from this show"

Ronni Hawk, who plays a Latina character on the Netflix urban high school series, upset fans with her since-deleted tweets supporting Trump after his election and denouncing gun control efforts in the wake of the Parkland school shooting. "The truth is I was 16 years old when I put that post out there and at 18, I now know that I am not informed enough on several different subjects to be posting blindly," Hawk wrote in her apology. She added: "I learned so much from this show-about injustices that take place in this world and that being silent is just as bad as doing nothing."
