‘We Had Friends That Died There, and You’re Trying to Make This About You?’
David Hogg was asked by MSNBC’s Joy Reid to comment on “Sheriff” David Clarke‘s attack on the student survivors of the Parkland, Florida mass shooting, and comment he did.
“You disgust me,” Hogg, one of the survivors, looking directly into the camera on “AM Joy” Saturday said. “Honestly. Seriously. We had friends that died there, and you’re trying to make this about you? You are absolutely disgusting, and you should be out there taking action, because we’re trying as hard as we can here, and we don’t deserve to be attacked by adults.”
“We’re literally teenagers, and the fact that we have to stand up and take action and the fact that we have to be up here speaking out because our politicians won’t because they just want to be re-elected screams testaments to how broken this democracy is,” Hogg added.
Clarke, a far right wing activist, accused plagiarist, and conspiracy theorist is the former Milwaukee County sheriff and Trump surrogate who at one point had announced he had accepted a job in Department of Homeland Security, only to see that disappear.Â
On Tuesday, Clarke claimed the Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school student survivors who are now successfully fighting the gun lobby had been orgainzed by George Soros. Soros is favorite target of the right.
