David Hogg is a very public figure with nearly 660,000 followers on Twitter. It would be absurd to imply that we cannot be critical of his ideas and his use of power.

In response to being personally insulted Hogg rallied his massive following to brigade the advertisers of Laura Ingraham.

I am not a fan of either Hogg nor Ingraham but I want to stress a few points: David's reaction was immature and disproportionate,This boycott was NOT about the 2A rights but about himbeing personally slighted, and lastlyThe Parkland student activists are extremely influential having been the front of one of the largest protests in history.We absolutely must be critical of their ideas and use of power as they push their ideals onto the USA.

As I'm sure all of you are very aware following the Parkland incident many students became famous,

these survivors became the voice of a gun reform movement. The March 4R lives protest in which

0:12.0

many of these students were the focal point garnered nearly 2 million people in protest around

the country and there were even protests in other countries calling for American gun reform.

It is a fact to state these students have become public figures and political activists.

Twitter followers or in the case of Emma Gonzalez 1.5 million Twitter followers, they will face

criticism, they will face insults. So what's the latest news? Laura Ingram mocked David Hogg
