The way everyone was reacting to Laura Ingraham's tweet I thought she had made fun of him or something. So, imagine my surprise when I find out that her big no-no was telling Hogg to quit whining. Do I think she should have said anything about his college applications? Nope. I think she should never have brought it up, even though Hogg brought it up himself. Because it's irrelevant. Lots of kids don't get into their school of choice. It's not a news story. I would have ignored it completely. Having said that, Laura Ingraham apologized, but that wasn't good enough for Hogg. Color me surprised. A gracious person would have accepted the apology and moved on. But the leftists pulling Hogg's strings rounded up all of her sponsors and Hogg tweeted what basically amounts to....Destroy her!
You see, Hogg and his cohorts, they can stand on podiums and call people whom they disagree with murderers, such as Marco Rubio and Dana Loesch, who had zero culpability in what happened in Parkland, but someone tells Hogg to stop whining and the wheels come off. He wants to play with the big boys but he wants to hide behind his mother's skirt by saying, "I'm just a kid. You can't talk to me like that. Bad stuff happened to me and my friends so we get to say whatever we want!" Only my version contains no F bombs. Hogg, you know, has to sound tough when he talks. But with all of his tough talk, he hasn't addressed the first honest and real issues about what happened at his school that day. How law enforcement, both local and federal, failed to enforce the laws already in place to prevent someone like Cruz from getting his hands on a gun. That's how you know that Hogg isn't about making his school and other schools safer, because he's not even addressing the issues that allowed Cruz to kill 17 people that day. Clear backpacks offends him but I thought all he cared about was saving lives. See, every time someone comes up with a plan or an idea to harden a target he gets red in the face and demands they come after the guns. Why isn't he demanding that that idiot sheriff step down? That the other officers who failed to do their jobs...why isn't Hogg and company demanding those people be held accountable? See, that's where the rest of us smells the rat. These young adults are being used as props to push for gun control and the push won't stop until they reach a full ban on all guns. That's why none of that other stuff matters. You know, the stuff that actually got those kids killed.
So you can be as impressed with Hogg and the others as you want to be. But as long as they are standing on podiums calling people murderers to push leftist agendas, then they damn well better get some tougher skin. Because as I look around, all the classless comments are coming out of these "kids'" mouths. And sooner or later, people will start pushing back. And rightly so. Because being a victim doesn't make you an expert. Surviving a bad situation doesn't make you an expert. Hogg and his cohorts are not experts on gun laws. It is a courtesy that the American people are listening. But we tire of it now.
