David Hogging the Spotlight

Political Cartoons by Glenn McCoy

If you can keep a good angry look it's money in the bank.

He’s the Gun Salesman of the Year.

. . . "At least one gun manufacturer has filed for bankruptcy, and the prospects for other manufacturers and sellers have been disappointing. But no more. Out of the tragedy of the Parkland high school shooting, a new hero has emerged to boost gun sales.
"I am speaking, of course, about young David Hogg, the lead spokesperson of the March for Our Lives movement. This kid is pure gold and money in the bank for the gun industry to say nothing of the NRA. If he hadn’t leaped forth from the tragedy of the Parkland massacre, the gun lobby would have had to invent him.
"Of all the pictures run by the media of this week-end’s marches, one stands out. It is of Mr. Hogg wearing a grey coat and dark shirt eerily reminiscent of Mussolini’s ensemble with his raised arm ramrod straight in the air capped by a clenched fist. This as he shouted his demands for more gun control and threats to politicians that, if they take money from the NRA and do its bidding, he and his followers will vote them out of office.
"Wow. What a gift to the NRA and the gun industry. " . . .

Despite Being Trashed By David Hogg, Rubio Offers Classy Response to Gun March . . .
"I’m going to start off by putting this price tag right here as a reminder for you guys to know how much Marco Rubio took for every student's life in Florida," Parkland survivor David Hogg says at .
"Knowing that the March for Our Lives rally was likely to feature more of the same incendiary language against him, Rubio nonetheless commended the young people for exercising their First Amendment freedoms." . . .
"Rubio, as mentioned in his message, has been hard at work to enact bipartisan legislation that would do much to buoy school safety and schools' communication with law enforcement. The STOP School Violence Act is a first step that is supported by the majority of families who lost a child in the shooting.
"Hogg wouldn't share that with the marchers because he is apparently more interested in attacking Rubio's character." . . ."Kyle Kashuv, one of Hogg's classmates, is one of few students noting Rubio's efforts. He was "pained" to see his classmates tarnish his character over the weekend." . . .
Bataclan Survivor Jesse Hughes Slams David Hogg & Other Leftist Operatives As “Pathetic”, “Disgusting Vile Abusers of the Dead”
"Hughs called the protests an “insult” to the “memory of those who were killed and abused” and an insult to “every lover of liberty”:

As the survivor of a mass shooting I can tell you from first-hand experience that all of you protesting and taking days off from school insult the memory of those who were killed and abuse and insult me and every other lover of liberty by your every action…..Long Live Rock’n’Roll….. and may everyone of these disgusting vile abusers of the dead live as long as possible so they can have the maximum amount of time to endure their shame….and be Cursed….

David Hogg's Next Crusade: Opposing Voter Identification Laws  . . . "Hogg's statement appeared to come out of nowhere. The linked article is an ACLU fact sheet, not a new blog post, or a relevant news story. Hogg simply interrupted his regularly scheduled anti-gun programming to bring you a message from your betters: asking people who already have access to the means to acquire picture identification to show that identification in order to protect the electoral process is a problem.
"After social media users suggested that voter ID laws help to safeguard elections, Hogg was forced to backtrack.

Listen I support the security of our election but not when it uses a system that suppresses the American's vote and voice
